Your visit with us

We want pets and their owners alike to feel safe and comfortable during the visit. That is why we have put together the following recommendations to help make your time with us as pleasant as possible:

• Bring items that will make the animal feel more safe, such as a blanket with the animal's own scent, your animal's favorite treat and favorite toy.
• Bring an extra blanket, where you can place the extra blanket over the cat's carrier and on the examination table to reduce the risk of spreading stress pheromones in the room and be able to change if there has been an accident in the carrier.
• Please talk to our staff if your pet is very stressed, for example trembling, trying to go outside or meowing a lot. We can try to resolve this by having you wait outside, in another waiting room, or in the examination room if possible. We also have a "cat corner" at the hospital where only cats are allowed.
• Bring insurance numbers and medical records if needed. 

Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled visit.

We have parking spaces for both cars and horse transport outside the animal hospital.

When you arrive to the Small Animal Clinic, you should always announce your arrival to the reception. At the reception, we register your arrival and answer any practical questions about your visit.

We educate future veterinarians and veterinary nurses. Our students participate in certain visits together with our staff.

When you visit us, you will need to sign a proof of reception (in Swedish: mottagningsbevis) for the care of your animal. For further questions, please talk to our staff at our reception.

Once your visit with the veterinarian is complete, please proceed to the Small Animal Clinic reception for payment.You will also receive care advice from your veterinarian if needed. If you have any concerns about the visit, you are welcome to discuss this with your veterinarian or our reception staff.
