Your first visit to us may seem overwhelming. But don’t worry—we’ll work through it with you. Below is a list of things to expect and prepare for ahead of your visit.

The first time you bring a new pet to us, we will gather information about your pet’s background, health, diet and observations you have made. We will take the time to address all of your questions and concerns. Next, we will examine your pet from nose-to-tail, looking for things like heart murmurs, ear infections, parasites, etc.

Before Your First Appointment

  • Request an appointment in one of three ways:
  • Assemble and be sure to bring all the proper items with you:
    • Your pet’s adoption or purchase records.
    • Any existing medical history. (We can help you get it from your former vet clinic if you need us to.)
    • A list of current medications and supplements.
    • Current feeding schedule and the brand of food you use.
    • A list of questions you have for your veterinarian.
  • Collect any necessary stool or urine samples, if requested.
  • If you’re bringing in your dog, be sure he or she is accustomed to being on a short leash. If you’re bringing a cat, be sure to have an appropriate carrier.
  • Feel free to bring your pet’s favorite treats to keep them happy and distracted!

Appointment Policies

We collect a small deposit for all appointments, which go towards any money spent at your visit. The deposit is fully refundable if you cancel at least 4 hours in advance of your appointment. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your pet’s appointment for check-in. If you have not filled out all relevant patient forms yet, plan to arrive 20 minutes ahead of your appointment.

While we will take walk-ins (when there is availability) and of course emergencies during our operating hours, we prefer to work with you by appointment so that we can remain fully dedicated to you and your pet’s needs.

Feel free to call or text us here at Buda Veterinary Care at 737-283-2838 anytime during normal operating hours if you have questions, and our friendly Client Care Representatives would be happy to help!
