We recommend pets be fasted for every veterinary exam (not fed the night before or the morning of the visit.) Water is okay. Pet parent to bring a Ziploc bag with 10-12 small pieces of a VERY tasty food. Give one small piece immediately after entering the hospital lobby. If refused, see if the pet will accept it when in the parking lot.  If participating in a treatment plan report treat acceptance or rejection to Dr. Tripp.
