Vet Visit Prep Sheet & Symptom Log
In the exam room, half of what you meant to mention evaporates. This prep sheet and symptom log fixes that: track what you’re seeing before you go — a clear timeline of when, what, how bad, eating, and potty — list current food and medications, write down the questions you’ll forget, and capture the diagnosis and plan on the way out. You leave with answers, not a blur.
Fillable · bilingual EN/ES · vet-sourced, not a scanned template.

- How do I prepare for a vet visit?
- Track the symptoms you’re seeing with dates and severity, note your dog’s current medications, food, and any recent changes, and write down the questions you want answered. Bringing a clear timeline instead of “he’s just been off” helps your vet a lot.
- What symptoms should I write down for the vet?
- When it started, what you saw, how severe (1–5), whether eating and drinking changed, and any change in poop or pee. Photos or short videos of intermittent signs (a limp, a cough, a seizure) are gold, since they may not appear in the exam room.
- Is this a diagnosis tool?
- No. It’s a preparation and record aid, not a diagnosis. If your dog is in distress or you’re worried, call your vet — and for emergencies, go straight in.
