Keep your observations and questions ready for a conversation with your vet.
Editorial focus
Prepare questions without suggesting diagnoses or treatments.
Begin with the context
Explain who this story is for and the question it answers. Include the details a new reader needs, and distinguish your own observations from material supplied by another source.
Keep it practical
A checklist to make your own
Make the useful part easy to find
The reference section below is deliberately structured for scanning, keyboard use and printing. Edit the labels and details to fit the real story rather than retaining irrelevant example fields.
Leave the reader with a next step
Link to a relevant topic, a dated source or a related story. Give collaborators proper credit and keep private or unverified information out of a public demonstration.
Out and about
Good company, every day.
Walks, quiet moments and the small routines shared with a companion.
