Health check records.

The charts below are designed to enable you to record your dog’s health check each week. Enter the date along the top and then mark any of the boxes that apply to your dogs health check for that week.

The signs written in black are what we class as normal and healthy.

The signs written in red are signs that something may be wrong and you should discuss your findings with your Veterinary Surgeon.

Having these records to hand will give you a good history of your dogs health and help you if you ever need to remember when they had problems in the past.
