Animal Hospital of Dunedin

What does the first exam include?

Your pet’s first appointment includes a comprehensive nose-to-tail physical examination. We evaluate the heart, lungs, eyes, ears, teeth, skin, joints, and weight while reviewing medical history and lifestyle. We also discuss preventive care, parasite protection, nutrition, and vaccinations to support long-term health.

Do you provide emergency or after-hours care?

We treat urgent medical conditions during regular business hours whenever possible. For serious emergencies outside our hours, we direct you to a trusted nearby emergency veterinary hospital and continue follow-up care once your pet is stabilized.

What kinds of veterinary services do you offer?

We provide preventive wellness care, diagnostic testing, dental care, surgical procedures, and treatment for illnesses and injuries. Services also include puppy and kitten care, senior pet monitoring, integrative medicine support, and urgent care during business hours.

Do you offer walk-in or same-day appointments?

Appointments are preferred, but we try to accommodate same-day visits for pets that are sick or uncomfortable. Calling ahead allows our team to prepare and minimize waiting time.

Can I schedule an appointment with a specific vet?

Yes, you may request a specific veterinarian when scheduling. If that doctor is unavailable, we will offer the next available appointment so your pet receives timely care.

What can I expect during my pet’s first visit?

During the visit we review medical history and perform a full physical exam. We discuss diet, home environment, parasite prevention, and preventive care recommendations while answering your questions and helping your pet feel comfortable.

Do you offer spays and neuters?

Yes, we perform routine surgical procedures including spays and neuters. Pets receive a health evaluation beforehand, anesthesia monitoring during surgery, and pain management with detailed home-care instructions afterward.
