First-Time Clients

We can't wait to meet you and your pet; we do anything we can to ensure you and your pet are

COMFORTABLE.

Since pets age at a much quicker rate than humans, these visits will become increasingly important in the early detection of any changes in their health. Save time and fill out your paperwork online.

Indian Head Animal Hospital is proud to serve the Fort Washington, MD area for everything pet-related. We always strive to become your partner in your pet’s healthcare. Our team is committed to educating our clients in how to keep your pets healthy year round, with good nutrition and exercise. 

At Indian Head Animal Hospital, we strive to always keep your pet healthy and up-to-date. Our annual exams (yearly physicals) are comprehensive and performed by our veterinarians. They examine all your pet’s organ systems (such as eyes, ears, mouth, heart, lungs, skin, abdomen, etc). We also are able to update all your vaccines during your physical.
In order to ensure your new pet gets the best possible start towards a lifetime of good health in their new home, we recommend introducing us promptly to your furry friend. At this first appointment, your veterinarian will check for the following and discuss any and all of your concerns regarding your new buddy. These services are also provided at your annual exam (yearly physical):

  • Clear eyes, ears and nose
  • Heart and respiration
  • Abdomen palpation
  • Proper bite placement
  • Any signs of infection or parasites
  • Proper growth and development
  • Presence of hernia
  • Initial vaccinations and a proper vaccination schedule tailored to your pet

To ensure that our staff has time to answer all your questions, we’d like to complete any needed paperwork before your scheduled appointment time. Thus, please arrive 10 minutes early so that we can review your paperwork, and to ensure continuity of your care, please bring any previous documentation with you. See you soon!

For your protection, and that of others, all dogs must be on a leash and properly controlled while outside our building as well as in the waiting area and exam rooms.  All cats must be presented in an appropriate cat carrier.  If you feel you need help controlling your pet for your appointment, please keep your pet safely in the car, and let the reception desk know before your pet is exposed to other patients.
