Clinic to clinic
- Call the old clinic and ask them to send the complete medical record to the new clinic. Give them the new clinic’s email.
- Ask the new clinic to confirm they received it before the appointment.
- If you used several clinics, repeat for each one. Each only has what it did.
Your own copy
Records sometimes arrive late or incomplete. Bring the vaccination history with dates and products, the latest bloodwork, current medications and doses, and allergies. A PawPass share link sent to the front desk the day before puts all of that on one page.
What the new vet will look for
- Which vaccines are current and when each is next due.
- Chronic conditions, medications and reactions to past vaccines.
- Recent lab results, so tests are not repeated.
- Weight history, which is easy to show on the weight chart.
