new clients welcome Detroit, MI

Here you’ll find everything you need about Patterson Dog & Cat Hospital and how we can help you. We have resources and information about what to expect and how to plan for your visit.

New Clients

Appointments for new pets are scheduling around 3 to 4 weeks out.  Also keep in mind, we are closed on weekends. NEW CLIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT WHEN SCHEDULING THEIR FIRST APPOINTMENT. If you are still interested in scheduling a future appointment to establish care, please read on! Thank you for your patience! 

If you have more than one pet you would like to bring to Patterson’s, be aware that we schedule appointments one at a time.

We treat all breeds of dogs and cats, and we look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your pet. We invite you to learn more about us and the services we offer. If you are a first-time pet parent or have a new puppy or kitten, be sure to check out our puppy and kitten information. When you are ready to schedule your first appointment, please contact our offices at (313) 832-7282.

Before Your First Appointment

In addition to the information on this site, here a few other things you should know before your first visit with us:

  • Paperwork: All new clients will need to complete a new client form. The pet owner should be the person responsible for making medical and financial decisions for your pet. Include an optional co-owner’s name if you’d like to authorize someone else who can discuss your pet’s care with our staff. For your convenience, find the form here:
    • New Client Form
      • Please note that filling out the new client form is not an appointment request. To request an appointment, call us at 313-832-7282. Thank you!
  • Arrival Time: Plan to arrive 10 minutes before your appointment. This will give us time to handle your paperwork or collect any additional information we may need.
  • Leash and Container Policy: All dogs must be on a leash while in our waiting room. Cats must be in a carrier or container. If your dog is aggressive, please have him or her muzzled while in the waiting area.
  • Previous Medical History:  Before the day of your appointment, please submit any previous medical records to us via email or fax. If you are unable to send them electronically, please bring paper copies to your first appointment and we will make copies for our records. If you do not have copies of the records, we should be able to obtain a copy from your previous veterinarian. Please be ready to provide us with your previous vet’s name and contact information on the New Client Form. You can also contact your previous veterinarian in advance of your appointment, and request that your pet’s records be emailed or faxed to Patterson Dog & Cat Hospital.
