Do I need a vet referral to make an appointment?

You can contact us at any time to make an appointment. When you contact us to make an appointment, we will collect initial intake information about you and your dog- including who your vet is. We will send out a vet referral request directly to your vet to obtain important information on what is being done on their end. This allows us to have open lines of communication with your vet to ensure the best possible outcome for your dog!

What do I need to do to prepare for my first in-home appointment?

Make sure you have an open space in your home away from other family members or pets for the duration of the appointment. It is helpful to have treats on hand that your dog likes to help assist with treatment. If you have a yoga mat, feel free to bring it out as treatments will occur on the floor, but no worries if you don’t have one - Bailey will always have one on hand!
