What Should You Do After Your Veterinary Hospital Closes?

When your regular veterinary hospital closes, one of the most important things you can do is establish care with a new veterinarian before your pet needs medical attention.

Don’t wait if your pet:

  • Is due or overdue for vaccinations
  • Needs prescription medication refills
  • Has an ongoing medical condition that requires monitoring
  • Has an upcoming surgery, dental procedure, or diagnostic test
  • Is a senior pet needing routine wellness exams or bloodwork

Even healthy pets benefit from establishing care before an illness or emergency arises. Having a veterinarian who already knows your pet helps ensure continuity of care when you need it most.

How to Choose a New Veterinarian

Finding a new veterinarian is an important decision. While location and convenience matter, you’ll also want a veterinary team that makes you and your pet feel comfortable from the very first visit.

Look for a hospital that:

  • Is accepting new patients
  • Offers comprehensive preventive, medical, surgical, and dental care
  • Uses Fear Free or low-stress handling techniques
  • Takes time to understand your pet’s individual needs
  • Provides personalized recommendations based on your pet’s age and lifestyle

The first appointment is an opportunity to build a relationship with your new veterinary team, ask questions, and create a plan for your pet’s ongoing health.

What to Bring to Your First Visit

Preparing for your first appointment can help make the transition even smoother.

Before your visit:

  • Bring any medications or supplements your pet is currently taking.
  • Write down any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss.
  • If you have copies of recent medical records, lab work, or vaccine history, bring those with you.

Sharing as much information as possible helps your new veterinarian better understand your pet’s health history and current needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How soon should I find a new veterinarian after my previous clinic closes?

It’s best to establish care as soon as possible, especially if your pet needs medication refills, vaccinations, or ongoing treatment. Having a veterinarian before an urgent need arises helps avoid delays in care.

2. What should I bring to my first appointment?

Bring any medications your pet is taking, along with any recent medical records or vaccine history you have available. It’s also helpful to bring a list of questions or concerns.

Some pets are, which is why Live with Grace Animal Hospital emphasizes Fear Free care and extended welcome appointments to help pets feel more comfortable during their visit.
