What to Expect
Wellness appointments generally take 60-90 minutes, however a more complicated appointment may require more time, so prepare accordingly. Please also remember that this is a student teaching hospital, and the educational process does extend appointment times.
During your visit:
- Your scheduled visit to the Auburn University Veterinary Clinic will begin with check-in at the reception desk and completion of necessary paperwork for new patients.
- Once check-in is complete, a veterinary student will greet you and escort you and your pet to a private examination room.
- In the examination room, a veterinary student will collect information about your pet’s history and current health as well as your goals for the appointment.
- A physical exam will be performed by a veterinary student and a faculty clinician.
- We’ll walk you through a detailed treatment plan and get your approval before moving forward.
The AUVC is a primary care practice, therefore if an extensive workup is needed, a follow-up visit may be required. If your goal is to seek a referral to the Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital for specialty care, please contact the desired service directly.
