To get the most out of your pet’s first visit with your veterinarian, we’ve put together this checklist for all new patients of Wayland Animal Clinic:

Paperwork

By the time you get your appointment reminder you should have already provided Wayland Animal Clinic with all the paperwork you were given from your breeder, past veterinarian, or shelter.  If you have received new or additional information, please send that to wacinfo@waylandanimalclinic.com as soon as possible.

Stool Sample

Bring a fresh stool sample (<24 hours if kept at room temperature or refrigerated)

Fecals are important because they enable veterinarians to determine if your pet has intestinal parasites such as roundworms, whipworms, coccidia, and giardia.

Medications

Bring a list of all medications that your pet is currently taking (including doses and frequency) Feel free to bring in the boxes/bottles/vials if easier.

Restraint

For safety, please bring your pet in a closed carrier or leash as appropriate.

Curbside Service

As of July 12, 2021, Wayland Animal Clinic is transitioning away from our 100% curbside service approach and will begin seeing patients and clients inside the building for most visits and exams. Technician appointments, surgeries, and other drop-off procedures will mostly remain curbside for a time to allow for continued social distancing in our facility.  We appreciate your patience as we continue to navigate this pandemic.

We ask that our clients:

  • Call Upon Arrival (508) 653-1096
  • A member of our team will provide you with instructions on how/when to enter the building
  • All clients must continue to wear a mask

PLEASE DO NOT ENTER OUR CLINIC IF:

  • You are experiencing a cough, fever, or chills.
  • You have tested positive for COVID-19, or if you (or anyone you live with) has a COVID-19 test pending.
  • You have traveled anywhere by plane in the last 14 days.

We will continue to monitor expert guidance, community COVID numbers, and variant concerns, and will continue to adapt our operations as appropriate.

No Show / Cancellation Policy

All clients are required to give at least 24 hours advanced notice when cancelling any appointment. No Show / Late Cancellations will be charged $20 for technician appointments and $40 for veterinary appointments. See More Details
