Follow Up Clinic

What is the Follow Up Clinic?

The Follow Up Clinic is for established patients with Access Veterinary Care who have chronic conditions, or conditions that need ongoing management. While having a family veterinarian to manage your pets conditions is still recommended, the Follow Up Clinic is an appointment based clinic that allows for those who don’t have access to a regular provider.

• Comprehensive Visits:  Around 45 minutes in duration. These visits are meant for more education intensive needs, managing chronic conditions, or managing new conditions. Check out the booking criteria below to see if you and your pet qualify!
• Recheck Visits: Around 15 minutes in duration: For conditions that just need quick progress checks as they’re healing, or very stable chronic disease maintenance visits. All “Recheck Visits” must be doctor approved before booking.

You’ll receive a notice at all future Urgent Care visits if you and your pet qualify for the Follow Up Clinic.

Who Immediately Qualifies for the Follow Up Clinic?

You may sign up for a Follow Up Clinic appointment, without having to go back into Access Veterinary Care’s Urgent Care Clinic, if you meet all of the following criteria:

1. Your pet was diagnosed with or was treated for a chronic condition at Access Veterinary Care’s Urgent Care Clinic in the past 12 months.
2. Your pet’s chronic condition is brand new and you need additional education
   • OR your pet’s condition is stable and just requires ongoing maintenance or yearly medication renewal.
   • OR you’re struggling with your pet’s care plan and would like to discuss other options. Please note that your pet should be medically stable, even if you’d like to discuss changing their current care plan. If your pet is medically unstable, or can not wait for a standard appointment, they should be brought into Access Veterinary Care’s Urgent Care Clinic, or your local veterinary ER.
3. You don’t have any additional or unrelated concerns to the diagnosed issue. 

Examples:

• Your pet was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism about a year ago, and you need their yearly bloodwork to get more medication.
• Your pet was diagnosed with Diabetes last week, is doing well on their current dose of insulin, and you need more education on how to manage their condition and to recheck their labs.
• Your pet has been seen for arthritis in the past at Access Veterinary Care, but you’re having trouble consistently administering their NSAID tablets, and they still seem a bit stiff. You’d like to learn about other medication and treatment options.
