What To Expect

When you arrive at Howard City Veterinary Services, you can expect quality care for your pet

When you arrive you will be greeted warmly as we check you in.

We will do our best to make sure you are brought into an examination room as soon as we have one available.

Here’s what to expect during your visit:

Once checked in, one of our team members will see you into the exam room and weigh your pet. The technician or assistant will gather basic information concerning your pet.

A veterinarian will then meet you, gather detailed information about your pet’s health, examine your pet, talk about any questions or concerns you may have and plan further diagnostics or treatment as needed.

Any recommended diagnostics tests (i.e. blood work) and treatments are usually performed in one of our treatment rooms.

When the veterinary consultation is complete, you’ll go back to our front reception area where your payment and future appointment bookings will be handled.

Depending on the reason for your visit, you may expect a follow-up call from one of our caring staff members to get an update on how your pet has been doing since their visit. Please inform us of any concerns you have regarding your pet.

Our goal is to make sure all of our patients are seen on time, but there will be times the occasional unexpected delay due to an emergency or because we are providing care for a patient that needs a little more time. Please accept our apologies should this occur, and understand that the same dedication and courtesy will be provided to your pet should they ever need it.

We hope you enjoy your visit and the service we provide, and we would be delighted to see you again.
