Everything You Need to Feel Confident About Your Pet’s Care

At The Welcome Waggin, we believe informed pet parents make the best decisions. This page is designed to give you easy access to helpful information, care guidelines, and answers to common questions — all in one place.

Because we bring compassionate veterinary care directly to your home, we want you to feel prepared, comfortable, and confident before, during, and after your visit.

Preparing for Your In-Home Visit

To help us make the most of your appointment:

Please secure other pets in a separate area if they are not being seen.
Have a list of current medications and supplements available.
Gather any previous medical records if this is your first visit.
Choose a quiet, well-lit space where your pet feels comfortable.

Our goal is to keep the experience calm, stress-free, and positive for everyone — especially your pet.

After-Visit Care Instructions

Every pet is unique, and we will provide personalized care instructions after your appointment. If you have questions about medications, recovery, or follow-up care, please contact us. We are happy to clarify anything.

If your pet experiences any unexpected symptoms after a visit, reach out right away so we can guide you on next steps.

Preventative Care Guidelines

Routine wellness care helps your pet live a longer, healthier life. We recommend:

Annual (or bi-annual for seniors) wellness exams
Vaccination updates
Parasite prevention
Dental health monitoring
Routine bloodwork for early disease detection

If you’re unsure what your pet needs, we’ll create a customized preventative plan tailored to their age, breed, and lifestyle.

When to Seek Emergency Care

While we provide comprehensive in-home veterinary services, certain emergencies require immediate hospital care.

Seek emergency veterinary attention if your pet experiences:

Difficulty breathing
Seizures
Severe trauma
Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
Sudden collapse
Suspected toxin ingestion

If you are unsure whether something is urgent, call us. We will help you determine the best course of action.

Medical Records & Prescription Refills

Need a copy of your pet’s records or a medication refill?

Contact us by phone or email.
Allow 24–48 hours for processing.
Please request refills before you run out of medication.

We’re here to make ongoing care simple and convenient.
