Find Trusted Veterinarians

Most healthy adult pets should visit a licensed veterinarian once a year for a comprehensive check-up. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with chronic conditions may need more frequent visits to the vet clinic. Your local veterinarian can recommend the best schedule based on your pet's specific healthcare needs.

Look for a local veterinary clinic with veterinarians who are experienced with your type of pet, has a convenient location and hours, and with whom you feel comfortable discussing your pet's health. You can use our veterinarian directory to find vet clinics in your area, read about their veterinary specialties, and contact them directly to schedule an appointment.

For your pet's first appointment at a new veterinary clinic, bring any previous medical records, current medications, a list of questions or concerns, and a stool sample if requested by the vet. Also, be prepared to discuss your pet's diet, behavior, and activity level with the veterinarian.
