BEFORE YOUR VISIT

Bixby Animal Hospital & Urgent Care collects an advance payment from prospective new clients before scheduling their appointment.

The deposit taken is our standard fee for a physical examination, and the amount will be credited to the prospective new client’s account and applied to the first invoice.

To ensure that that your appointment runs smoothly, we ask that you gather any medical, vaccine, or adoption records you may have for your pet.

We ask that for the safety of staff, clients, and other pets, all cats must be in a carrier, and all dogs must remain on a leash or in a carrier.

DURING YOUR VISIT

A pet’s first veterinarian visit is an important step in ensuring your pet is healthy. Here at Bixby Animal Hospital & Urgent Care, we prioritize educating pet owners so they can be active participants in their pet’s health care plan. Active participation in your pet’s health plan will give you a head start on preventative care, preventing future illnesses.

During the visit, a veterinarian will do a head-to-tail exam to check your pets overall health. This exam includes but is not limited to physically checking the eyes, ears, teeth, gums, skin, and the coat to ensure there isn’t any fleas and ticks.

If you have any further concerns or questions, this would be the perfect time to go ahead and ask your veterinarian to further discuss any issues.
