Navigating this Document
The following instructions will help you navigate the different sections of this document. If you have older pups, make sure to call the vet's office and request a detailed medical history in order to fill in the tables.
Don’t forget to change the “(dog)” in the section title names to your pups name!!! The few records in each table are there for example and should be deleted once you start using the document!
Use this Section to add important information about your dog. (Could be used as a quick Lost Dog poster)
Items you will need to update:
Any colored text on this page will need replacing. The Green is just text and you can highlight and write over it. The Purple is a named formula and you can change it by right clicking and updating.
The Dog's weight, respiratory rate, heart rate and temp all also calculated from the Vet Visits table.
Date and Age - Auto populated based on the day you create the record and the dog’s birthday date.
Reason - is for why you went to the vet (Annual Exam, Skin irritation, etc.)
Notes - is for the results of any test or directions from the vet (heartworm test-negative, Skin scrape-negative, etc.)
Receipt - to take a picture of the visit print out.
Weight - drives the Current Weight at the top of the page. The Vitals are averaged and shown also at the top of the page.
Best advice is to capture the weight, temp, pulse & RR as the vet tech is gathering it. They usually will take the measurements and record them but most of the time won’t verbalize these.
See the instructions below for each section to understand how to document works. For older dogs, you may choose to delete the Potty and Feedings section to save space in your doc. The few records in each table are there for example and should be deleted once you start using the document!
This page shows all the medications & shots that the dog has been given.
Only medications that are labeled as “Annual Shot” are given a due date. If you choose to be notified on more than just the shots, you can edit the formula in the Due Date column.
Log the puppies bathroom breaks by clicking the “Add Potty Break” Button.
Select whether the dog peed, pooped, or did both, then whether it was inside or outside.
To get the best results make sure to log EVERY SINGLE TIME. This data will show you when the dog is ready to extend the time between bathroom breaks and therefore better success at Potty Training.
