FAQs
What services can pet owners typically expect from Golf Course Vets?

How do I prepare my pet for a visit to Golf Course Vets?
Preparing a pet for a vet visit may contribute to a calmer experience for the animal and a smoother appointment process.
For dogs, using a secure lead and allowing them to exercise or relieve themselves before the visit can help reduce restlessness.
Cats often respond best to enclosed carriers lined with soft bedding that holds familiar scents from home. Introducing the carrier to the cat ahead of time may reduce stress on the day of the appointment.
Bringing a list of the pet’s medications, recent diet, and any noticeable symptoms or behaviours can assist with communication during the consultation.
If a stool or urine sample is needed, it’s advisable to ask the clinic in advance how to collect it safely.
Some pets are highly sensitive to unfamiliar environments, so arriving a few minutes early to acclimatise, or waiting in the car until called in, may help. For animals prone to anxiety, discussing preparation strategies with the vet before the appointment is possible.
