10 best tips for a top Vet Visit

Best Vet Visit

You’ve booked a vet visit with Pet Doctors Palm Beach for your furry friend, so here’s the best way to get the most out of your time with us:

  • Arrive on time – or 10 minutes early if you are a new client as we will have some paperwork for your to complete before your appointment. If you cannot make your appointment please let us know 24 hours ahead of time.
  • Make a list of all your queries so nothing gets forgotten or left out – Have you noticed any lumps, stiffness or thinning of hair etc.
  • Take note of any behavioral changes prior to the appointment – Is your pet getting easily irritated? Have they started snapping/biting? Or have they become more quiet and reserved?
  • Take note of any change in eating or drinking habits prior to the appointment – Are they eating/drinking more or less?
  • Take note of any irregularities of the stool or urine prior to the appointment – Diarrhoea, constipation? Are they urinating more often? Is there incontinence or involuntary defecation?
  • Have your pet’s documentation with you – including histories from other vets, vaccination cards, flea/worming products and dates and microchip details.
  • Keep calm and confident during the visit – any anxiousness from you will be easily read by your pet and will most likely affect their behaviour as well.
  • Ask us about our Vac4Life and senior health pet programs – both of these programs are designed to protect your pet from diseases, while also helping you save money.
  • Pets coming in for surgery are best kept clean and comfortable – we recommend bathing them the day before.
  • Buy a treat for your pet to have after their vet visit to reward them for their good behaviour.
