Everything You Need to Know About Your Pet’s Care
Your pet’s first visit at Farmington Veterinary Hospital begins with a complete physical examination from head to tail. The veterinarian reviews your pet’s medical history, checks weight, heart and lung function, skin and coat health, and evaluates eyes, ears, and teeth. We also discuss diet, lifestyle, vaccinations, and parasite prevention so we can build a personalized wellness plan designed specifically for your pet.
We provide care for urgent medical concerns during our normal business hours. If your pet experiences an emergency outside of those hours, our team will direct you to a trusted local emergency veterinary facility so your pet can receive immediate attention. We are happy to coordinate follow-up care once your pet returns to us.
