Questions
How do I become a client?
Book a 40-minute first visit. We go through your pet’s history in the first ten minutes, so there is nothing to fill in before.
Do you need my pet's old records?
It helps. Email what you have to records@lanternwood.example, or tell us your old clinic and we request them. Transfers are free.
What should I bring to the first visit?
Your pet, a stool sample less than 12 hours old if you can get one, the names of any medications and foods, and the carrier or leash they are calmest in.
Do you see rabbits, birds, or reptiles?
No. Only dogs and cats. It is part of how we keep the building quiet.
