Worksheet
Questions to prepare for your vet
In short
The best question list is short enough to use during the visit. Put the questions that affect today’s decisions first and leave room to record the veterinary team’s answer.

Prioritize what you need from this visit
- What should I monitor after today, and what should I record?
- When should the next follow-up happen?
- Who should I contact if I have a question about these instructions?
- Which records, labels, photos, or samples would be useful next time?

Ask for clear follow-through
Before leaving, repeat back the dates and actions you wrote down. If an instruction is unclear, ask the veterinary team to restate it rather than trying to reconstruct it later.
Keep the answer with the question
A blank answer area turns the list into a useful visit record. Capture who will do what, the due date, and where to find any official instructions or test results.
