You may bring your pet into the waiting room for check in and weighing. Make sure dogs are on a leash and cats in a secure carrier.

Please bring any medications you are giving or have given to your pet including shampoo, ear drops and ear cleaners.

Take a picture of the label of the foods you are using as there are so many foods with similar names.

Dr. Nagle will review the history and any records that we have and then ask you about your pet. We will examine your pet's skin and usually collect samples to be examined under the microscope at the clinic. We use this information to design a plan of treatment with you.

Fees are payable at the time of check out and we email you detailed discharge instructions. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Cash AMEX and some Care Credit plans.

Most dermatology cases require follow up or rechecks so we should arrange that as you check out.

We will send a report to your local veterinarian as well.

Sometimes samples are sent to outside laboratories and so we will update you by email when results are available.
