Why Your Pet’s “Paperwork” is a Lifesaver in Ajah
In the busy environment of Lagos, from Abraham Adesanya to Badore, consistency in pet care can be a challenge. That’s why we emphasize the importance of the Pet Health Card
The Importance of the Pet Health Card & File
Your pet’s file is more than just a folder; it’s a comprehensive health diary. At PetMedPlus, we use these records to:
- Prevent repetitive Testing: to save cost and stress.
- Faster Emergency Care:
- detailing allergies
- past surgeries
- current medications—allows our vets to make faster, safer decisions.
- Establish Health Benchmarks:
- Tracking weight
- appetite
- behavior
- Facilitate Travel: If you’re moving or traveling out of Lagos, an up-to-date health card is essential for obtaining “fit to fly” certificates.
History Taking: You are Your Pet’s Voice
Since our pets can’t tell us where it hurts, history taking is our most vital diagnostic tool. When you bring your pet to PetMedPlus, we’ll ask about:
- Activity Levels & Appetite:
- Environment changes
- Past Reactions:Has your pet ever had a sensitivity to a specific vaccine, medication or food.
What Should Be in Your Pet’s “Master File”?
We recommend every Ajah pet parent maintains a physical or digital folder containing:
- Vaccination Records
- Deworming & Parasite History
- Identification: Breed details, age, and microchip numbers.
- Surgical & Medical Notes: A chronological list of every vet visit, diagnosis, and treatment plan.
