Your First Visit
A pet's first visit to the vet can seem a bit daunting, so we've put together a list of info and resources to help you prepare.
At your first appointment, we will gather information about your pet’s background, health, diet, and training. We can also address any questions or concerns you might have.
Your veterinarian will examine your pet from nose to tail, looking for things like heart murmurs, ear infections, and/or parasites. Your veterinarian can also provide pet-proofing tips, training assistance, and parasite protection recommendations.

Appointment Policies
Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your pet's appointment for check-in. If you have not filled out all relevant patient forms yet, plan to arrive 10 minutes ahead of your appointment.
While we do our best to make sure all of our patients are seen on time, there will be times of occasional unexpected delay due to an emergency or because we are providing care for a patient that needs a little more time. Please accept our apologies should this occur, and understand that the same dedication and courtesy will be provided to your pet should they ever need it.
“I purchased the wellness plan for my puppy. I wanted to be sure she received the best care and she would eventually get her spayed when she was old enough. The day of surgery the doctor called me right her surgery to update on her status. When I picked up my puppy that afternoon I received great personal discharge instructions. The doctor called me the next morning to check on her. The staff are all very professional and knowledgeable of their jobs. What is an added plus with College Park Vet is they have a grooming and boarding service next door.”
