Dog/Cat Health Log

June 18, 2019

Pets are man’s true friends. Their cute activities and gestures always keep their owner busy and happy. Pets keep a house alive because their existence always brings a sense of life to the house.

Many pet lovers know that keeping a pet means having a family member in the house. They need the same care, love, and attention every other family member requires. If we keep a cat or a dog as a pet, we must take care of their food, sleeping place, and cleanliness. Just like that, we also need to take care of their health.

Taking care of a pet’s health is not just important for the pet; keeping other family members and visitors safe from the contagious or communicable diseases that these pets might be carrying with them is necessary.

We all know that pets carry some viruses and bacteria and get sick from diseases caused by microorganisms. These bacteria and especially viruses are equally capable of spreading infectious diseases in the house’s human inhabitants, and the consequences can be life-threatening.

For the reasons mentioned above, we need to ensure that the cats and dogs we keep in our homes as pets are properly taken care of and vaccinated. Regular checkups of these pets with an animal doctor are necessary to maintain a proper record of the pet’s health.

Cat/Dog health log

If we have a cat or a dog in our house, we take them to the doctor, and he keeps a record of their health in the form of a log. This log helps track the pet’s health status and provides a record of the pet in case it has to be adopted by another family member.

In a pet health log, the owner’s name and details, contact information, and address must be mentioned.
If the pet has a name, it is mentioned in the health log for identification purposes.
The age of the pet and its date of birth are also mentioned. We must assess the health status according to the age of the pet.
We all know that not all animals possess the same vitals, so their reference ranges are different. While checking the vitals of a pet cat or dog, we need to know the typical ranges. For example, a doctor must know cats’ and dogs’ normal heart rate range.
The systemic examination is also done keeping in mind the knowledge of normal status.
At the end of the log, a doctor has to mention the vaccination status of the pet and will also say if any booster dose has to be administered.
The doctor can comment on the pet’s overall health status if necessary.
