Animal Dental Clinic Pre-Consultation Checklist

  • Wellness examination and labwork based on age and health status:
    • If your pet is generally healthy and less than 10 years old: Please schedule wellness examination and general health screening labwork with your primary care veterinarian if it hasn’t been done in the past year.
    • If your pet is generally healthy and more than 10 years old: Please schedule wellness examination and general health screening labwork with your primary care veterinarian if it hasn’t been done in the past 6 months.
    • If you pet has ongoing or chronic medical conditions: Please schedule follow up examination and appropriate labwork and/or imaging with your primary care veterinarian (and/or the appropriate managing veterinary specialist) if this hasn’t been done in the past 3-6 months (depending on severity/impact/stability of the condition). Your veterinarian or our team (if we have your pet’s medical records) can advise on specific recommended follow up items if needed.
