This is especially true if your pet is new to the family. Write down all the questions for the vet as you think of them. This will help you remember when the appointment time arrives.

Record any strange observations about your pet. Your pet may have behaviors that puzzle you. Often these behaviors are no cause for concern, but writing them down will help you remember to bring them up with the veterinarian. These observations can be anything from behaviors that indicate physical discomfort to unwanted aggression or mischievousness.

Be prepared to bring stool samples and records of your pet’s previous wellness visits. Your pet’s veterinarian may need a stool sample to test. Be prepared to collect the stool sample on the day of the visit, if at all possible. Also, if your pet has recently switched from a different veterinarian, bring the paperwork about your pet’s other wellness visits so your pet’s new veterinarian will have them on hand. If your pet is on any medications, you’ll need to bring records of those medications with you as well.
