New clients

Welcome to the Creekside family.

Your first visit should feel easy. Here's how to get ready, and what you can expect from us.

Before you come

What to bring along.

Past records

Vaccine history and any previous medical records, or just your old clinic's name and we'll request them.

Current medications

A list (or photo) of medications, supplements and preventives, with doses.

Diet details

What brand and how much they eat. Snap a photo of the bag.

A fresh stool sample

Especially for puppies, kittens and new adoptions. A small sample within 12 hours is perfect.

Leash or carrier

Dogs on a leash, cats in a carrier. A favorite blanket helps nervous travelers.

Your questions

Jot down anything you've noticed. No question is too small.

Low-stress visits

Calmer pets, better medicine.

We move at your animal's pace: gentle handling, plenty of treats and breaks when they need them. A few things you can do at home help, too.
  1. 1

    Leave the carrier out at home for a few days so it becomes a familiar hangout, not a warning sign.

  2. 2

    Cover the carrier with a towel in the car and keep the radio low.

  3. 3

    Bring your pet a little hungry, since our treats work better (unless we've asked you to keep them fasting).

  4. 4

    Ask about pre-visit calming options for anxious pets. We'd rather plan ahead than force a stressful visit.

Payment

Clear costs. Flexible options.

We'll always walk you through an estimate before treatment, and talk honestly about options that fit your budget.

All major payment methods

Cash, check, debit and credit cards are accepted at time of service.

Pay over time

Flexible financing with no hard credit check and 0% APR options. Ask the front desk to apply.

Pet insurance friendly

We'll provide itemized invoices and records for your insurance claims.
