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.

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.

My dog has significant anxiety when it comes to veterinary visits, and the team immediately recognized her fears and handled her with the patience, understanding, and gentle care she deserved. They took the time to make her feel comfortable and kept me informed throughout the process, which gave me tremendous peace of mind.

Not only was the care exceptional, but the value was as well. The cost of the dental procedure was unbeatable, especially considering the high level of medicine, attention, and personalized care my dog received. It’s rare to find a clinic that provides such outstanding service at such a reasonable price.

Dr. Daniele Johnson is an outstanding veterinarian, by far the best we've seen for our dog Buckley's general health in 15 years. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable, thorough, kind, and trustworthy, and you can tell she genuinely cares about your pet and making sure you understand and feel confident in her care recommendations. We loved our entire experience at Livewell from our initial conversation with Morgan, to the intake with Kylene, to the exam with Dr. Johnson. We could not have dreamed up a more skilled, friendly, or compassionate team of providers for our precious Buckley, especially in the senior phase of his life. We highly recommend Livewell Animal Hospital of North Scottsdale to anyone seeking the very best care for their furry family members.

They even gave my dog a pup cup at the end, which made her so happy and turned the whole visit into a positive experience. Highly recommend this clinic!
