Puppy Health Record - Usage Guidelines

Filling out the Puppy Health Record form is an essential step in keeping track of your puppy's health and development. This record will help you monitor vaccinations, growth milestones, and any treatments your puppy receives. Here’s how to complete it step by step.

  1. Puppy Information: Fill in the puppy's name, registered name, breed, and color. Include the birth date and time, as well as the birth weight.
  2. Birth Information: Record the names of the sire (father) and dam (mother), and any markings your puppy may have.
  3. Developmental Stages: Note when the puppy's eyes opened, when solid food was introduced, and when the puppy was weaned. Also, indicate when the teeth erupted.
  4. Vaccinations: For each vaccination, enter the date given, type of vaccine (like Distemper or Bordetella), the manufacturer's name, and the lot number. Record the location and route given (for example, SQ or IM).
  5. Parasite Control: Fill in the date of treatment, the name of the parasite control product, and the manufacturer's name. Specify how the product was administered.
  6. Examinations or Procedures: Document any examinations or procedures performed by you or a veterinarian. Include the date, findings, comments, and initials of the person conducting the examination.

Once you have filled out the form, keep it in a safe place. Regularly updating this record will ensure you have a comprehensive view of your puppy's health journey.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Puppy Health Record form, it is essential to ensure accuracy and completeness. Here are eight important dos and don’ts to keep in mind:

  • Do fill in all required fields completely, including the puppy's name, breed, and birth date.
  • Do provide specific details about vaccinations, including the type, date given, and manufacturer.
  • Do keep a copy of the completed form for your records.
  • Do note any findings or comments during examinations performed by a veterinarian.
  • Don't leave any sections blank; incomplete information can lead to issues later.
  • Don't forget to include the registered name and number if applicable.
  • Don't use abbreviations or shorthand that may cause confusion.
  • Don't overlook the importance of accurate dates for vaccinations and procedures.

Common mistakes

  1. Neglecting to fill in the puppy's name: It's essential to provide a name for your puppy. This helps personalize the record and makes it easier to reference in the future.

  2. Omitting birth information: Always include the birth date, time, and weight. This information is crucial for tracking your puppy's growth and health milestones.

  3. Forgetting to note the breed: The breed can affect health care and vaccinations. Ensure you specify the breed to guide appropriate care.

  4. Leaving out vaccination details: Each vaccination should be documented with the date, type, and manufacturer. Missing this information can lead to gaps in your puppy's immunization history.

  5. Not recording parasite control treatments: It's important to track any parasite control products used, including the date and type. This helps ensure your puppy remains healthy and free from parasites.

  6. Failing to document examinations: If your veterinarian performs any examinations or procedures, note the findings and comments. This record can be invaluable for future visits.

  7. Ignoring the schedule of events: Follow the recommended schedule for vaccinations, de-worming, and other events. Keeping track of these dates is vital for your puppy's health.

  8. Not using proper abbreviations: When filling out the form, use clear and standard abbreviations for locations and routes of vaccinations. This ensures clarity for anyone reviewing the record.

  9. Overlooking the registered name and number: If your puppy is registered, include the registered name and number. This information can be important for pedigree and health tracking.

  10. Failing to keep a copy: Always make a copy of the filled-out health record for your personal use. This helps you keep track of your puppy's health journey and vaccinations.
