What to Expect at a Veterinary Appointment
Knowing what you can expect at your first appointment at one of our Badger Veterinary Hospital locations will help to make this process much more pleasant both for you and your animal.
Get Settled
We ask that you arrive around 10 minutes early in order to fill out any necessary forms when attending an appointment at one of our hospitals. If you would like to save some time, you can also complete our New Patient Form online in advance.
Meet Your Veterinarian
One of the members of our team will take some time to review your animal's health history and speak with you about their issues. You can also ask any questions you may have and we will be sure to dedicate time to answering them.
Examination, Diagnosis & Treatment
After your animal has been assessed, our vets will provide you with a diagnosis and any options for treatment. Your veterinarian will work with you to determine the best treatment options for your animal's case.

At Badger Veterinary Hospital, our concept is simple and our promise is profound. We will provide your pet with the absolute best health care available in the most compassionate manner possible.
We are passionate about preventative care, client education, and providing comprehensive services to dogs, cats avian and exotics from across Southern Wisconsin.
