New to Portland Vet? Here’s how to get started.

Switching veterinarians doesn’t have to be complicated. We’ll help make the transition as smooth as possible.

1. Schedule your first appointment

Give us a call or schedule an appointment online. Let us know a little about your pet and what brings you to Portland Vet.

2. Transfer your pet’s medical records

You don’t need to worry about starting from scratch. Your pet’s existing medical history, vaccination records, laboratory results, and medication information can help us provide continuity of care.

You can ask your current veterinary practice to send us your records. We’ll help explain where to send them.

3. Meet your new veterinary team

During your first visit, we’ll get to know your pet, review their medical history, discuss your concerns, and talk about their ongoing healthcare needs.

Our goal is to establish a relationship with you and your pet that lasts for years.

What to expect at your pet’s first visit

We want you to feel comfortable and informed from the moment you walk through our doors.

Your first appointment may include:

  • A review of your pet’s medical history.
  • A discussion of current health concerns.
  • A physical examination, as appropriate.
  • Review of vaccinations and preventative healthcare.
  • Discussion of medications, nutrition, and lifestyle.
  • Recommendations for future care based on your pet’s individual needs.

We’ll take the time to answer your questions and help you understand your pet’s healthcare options.
