As a new client, here’s everything you need to know to get started:
How to Schedule Your First Appointment

You can request an appointment through our online portal, and our team will check availability and reach out to confirm your appointment details. You can also call us directly at 832-632-1595 to speak with a member of our team.

Before Your First Visit
To make your first appointment as smooth as possible, we recommend completing the following steps ahead of time:
- Download and complete the New Client Form — Download the New Client Form here. Completing this form before your appointment saves time during check-in and allows us to focus on getting to know you and your pet rather than paperwork.
- Gather your pet’s prior medical records — If your pet has seen another veterinarian before, please bring any records you have, including vaccination history, previous diagnoses, lab results, and a list of any current medications. If records need to be transferred, we can assist you with that process.
- Bring a fecal sample if possible — A small, fresh fecal sample is helpful for intestinal parasite screening, which we recommend as part of routine preventative care.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
Your first visit at Egret Bay Veterinary Hospital is about building a relationship. After check-in, your pet will be seen by one of our veterinarians, who will perform a comprehensive physical examination and take time to learn about your pet’s health history, lifestyle, and any concerns you may have. We encourage you to bring a list of questions — no concern is too small, and we want you to leave feeling fully informed and confident in your pet’s care plan.
Depending on your pet’s age, species, and health history, your veterinarian may recommend vaccinations, parasite prevention, diagnostic bloodwork, or other baseline services during the first visit. Our team will explain each recommendation clearly and discuss costs with you before proceeding with anything.
