Welcome to Jefferson Veterinary Center.
We're glad you found us. Here's everything you need to get started — from booking your first appointment to knowing what to expect.
What To Expect
Complete Your Forms
You'll receive a link via text or email before your visit. Takes about 5 minutes. Bring a list of any current medications, supplements, or flea & tick products your pet is on.
Your Pet's First Exam
A full nose-to-tail physical: weight, temperature, eyes, ears, teeth, coat. We'll take our time, this is when you can ask us all your questions.
Your Care Plan
We'll walk you through exactly what we found and what we recommend. You'll receive a clear, itemized estimate before anything is approved. No surprises.
Transferring from another vet?
Before your first visit, reach out to your previous clinic and ask them to fax or email your records to us, the more history we have, the more accurate your exam and care plan will be from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any previous medical records, vaccination history, and a list of current medications. Jot down any specific concerns so we don’t miss anything during the exam.
Do you treat both dogs & cats?
Yes, we treat dogs and cats. For avian, exotic, or small animal pets, we’re happy to refer you to a specialist in the area.
Do you offer heartworm and flea & tick prevention?
Absolutely. We carry a range of prevention products and will help you choose based on your pet’s lifestyle and health history.
Do you perform surgeries & dentals?
Yes. We perform soft tissue surgeries and dental cleanings and extractions in-house — all with full anesthesia monitoring.
Can you give me a price estimate over the phone?
Every pet’s exam reveals different needs. We want to give you a real, accurate estimate, not a guess. We’ll walk you through everything clearly at your appointment.
Why we price after your exam
Your pet's exam tells us what care they actually need — and sometimes that's more, or less, than what brought you in. Giving you a number before we've seen your pet wouldn't be accurate, and we'd rather give you a real one. We'll always walk you through it before anything is approved.
CareCredit available
We accept CareCredit for qualified care, a financing option that lets you pay over time when you need flexibility. If cost is a concern before your visit, just let us know when you call or arrive. We're happy to talk through what to expect.
