What to Expect

As a new client at the Animal Clinic of Pinckney, you can expect our full attention to your pet’s needs. 

Our front door is open to the public, though we ask that you contact the front desk to check in if you are here for an appointment. Since we have a smaller lobby, this helps avoid patient-on-patient contact as we see many sick or nervous patients. A technician will meet you at your vehicle to usher you into an exam room. 

In most cases, one of our veterinary technicians will start by asking about your pet’s medical history, current condition, and the reason for your visit, gathering data for the doctor.

Then, our veterinarian will examine your pet, ask you further questions, and then may recommend diagnostic tests if needed. Once the tests have been run, which can usually be done in the practice, your doctor will discuss a possible diagnosis and treatment plan if warranted.

This is a great time to ask questions. Our veterinary team wants to make sure you are completely comfortable with the information we are providing. 

Our veterinary technician will likely come back to wrap things up.  They will provide you with helpful pet care information and answer wellness and care questions for you. Our front desk staff will process your payment and schedule any needed follow up.

Please note: Our goal is to see all our clients and patients on time, and although we have contingencies for emergencies, there will be times where the unexpected will create delays. We will ensure these are minimized as much as possible.

We are excited to meet your human and animal family members!
