Walk in with answers, not apologies.

“She's been off for a while” wastes the appointment. A dated history focuses it.

The 10-minute prep

  1. List the current problems — each symptom with when it started and how often.
  2. List every medication & supplement with doses and when each started.
  3. Note appetite, drinking, energy, stool — changes, with dates.
  4. Bring the timeline — a Pet Health Journal vet link or printout beats memory.
  5. Write your questions down — three max, most important first.
