Your Pet's First Visit

A pet's first visit to the vet can seem a bit daunting, so we've put together a list of info and resources to help you prepare. 

At your first appointment, we will gather information about your pet’s background, health, diet, and training. We can also address any questions or concerns you might have.

Your veterinarian will examine your pet from nose-to-tail, looking for things like heart murmurs, ear infections, and/or parasites. Your vet can also provide pet-proofing tips, training assistance, and parasite protection recommendations. 

Before Your First Appointment
  1. Complete the New Client Form prior to your first visit.
  2. Assemble and be sure to bring all the proper items with you:
    • Your pet's adoption or purchase records
    • Any existing medical history
    • A list of current medications and supplements
    • Current feeding schedule and the brand of food you use
    • A list of questions you have for your veterinarian
  3. Collect any necessary stool or urine samples, if requested.
  4. If you're bringing in your dog, be sure he or she is accustomed to being on a short leash. If you're bringing a cat, be sure to have an appropriate carrier.
  5. Feel free to bring your pet's favorite treats to keep them happy and distracted!

Appointment Policies

​Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your pet's appointment for check-in. If you have not filled out all relevant patient forms yet, plan to arrive 10 minutes ahead of your appointment.

While we do our best to make sure all of our patients are seen on time, there will be times of occasional unexpected delay due to an emergency or because we are providing care for a patient that needs a little more time. Please accept our apologies should this occur, and understand that the same dedication and courtesy will be provided to your pet should they ever need it.

  • I took my cat here a couple times for his eye issue and vaccines . Dr Grover and the staff are very caring :)

  • I am thrilled to reconnect with Dr. Grover! He was my favorite veterinarian for many years before I moved to Herriman. Dr. Grover is an exceptionally talented, kind, and compassionate vet. The staff at his new clinic is equally impressive. I recently took my two Shiba Inus for checkups, vaccinations, and blood work. For those unfamiliar with this breed, Shiba Inus often scream loudly when upset or frustrated. Remarkably, neither of my dogs made a peep during their visit, which speaks volumes about the care they received. They were even treated to pup cups as a reward and to help them stay calm. I highly recommend this clinic!

  • Dr. Grover and his staff were wonderful! They did surgery on our two kittens and were so kind, making certain we were well informed at every step of the process. I recommend them most highly and am grateful to have them in our community!!

  • We brought our puppy here after a poor vet experience at another location slightly north of this location. The staff are incredibly kind and professional. It's very clear that Doctor Grover knows what he's doing and that he cares about all animals. Your pet is in good hands at this location!

  • Hands down best vet experience ever. The clinic was very tidy, and the staff were welcoming the second I got in. They even helped bring my dogs in (just had a surgery 5 weeks ago). Dr Grover and his staff were very attentive, and kind towards my two Bernese mountain dogs. We got their yearly examination, vaccines, and spent some time talking about their wellness. Dr. Grover is very knowledgeable. We are happy to be loyal customers to this new clinic!
