A little preparation in Recall means you can show your vet clear trends and an accurate medication history, instead of relying on memory.
A week before
- Log what you're worried about. If it's coughing, itching or appetite, log it daily so there's a trend to show. A ready-made tracker gets you started quickly.
- Photograph changes. Add photos to body map markers for lumps, rashes or wounds, so the vet can see how they've changed.
- Weigh in. A current weight helps with dosing.
- Clear the Earlier section on Care, so the routine dose record is complete.
The day before
- Check the trends you want to talk about in Insights.
- Make a report. A saved one, like "Bailey · Vet visit" with 90 days, can be downloaded again before every appointment. Learn how to save a report.
- Turn on Routine doses (given, skipped, not logged) if your vet wants to know how often doses were given.
- Download the PDF to email ahead, or to show on your phone.
At the appointment
- Open the trend in Insights on your phone. A chart is quicker to read than notes.
- Add any new instructions to the medication in the Cabinet before you leave, so everyone sees them on each dose.
Afterwards
- Add or update any diagnosis.
- Add new medications to the Cabinet and update routine doses. For a taper, set up a changing dose.
