Prepare your pet’s health history

AAHA’s feline life-stage guidance specifically covers prior care, diet, and medication or supplement details for cats. Its emergency-planning guidance separately supports keeping identification, medical conditions, medication instructions, and veterinary contacts current for pets generally.

• Identification, a recent photo, and a birth date or honest age estimate.
• Usual diet, appetite, water intake, activity, behavior, and bathroom habits.
• Current clinic, emergency clinic, and any specialists involved in care.
• Current medications and supplements copied from the label or clinic instructions.
• Known allergies or reactions exactly as shown in official records.

This owner record makes the source of each fact clear and keeps the recent change separate from Luna’s usual routine.

Use the fields that apply to your pet. Keep the original clinic documents attached instead of rewriting them from memory.
