You should come to the veterinarian's appointment with your pet and full information about its condition.

Make sure you can answer all the questions about your dog and do a few other important things before your visit to the clinic.

Collect the documents

To make your visit to the veterinarian productive, be sure to take with you not only your passport, but also your pet's veterinary passport with information about vaccinations and names of medications.

Bring a leash and muzzle

In addition to documents, take a leash and muzzle for your pet, as many animals experience stress in unfamiliar places and may behave aggressively.

Prepare your answers

Be prepared to answer your veterinarian's questions about your pet, as it is not always possible to obtain all the information about the animal's condition.

Don't hide problems

Don't hide your pet's problems. Scabs on the skin should not be painted over with brilliant green, and the eyes should not be washed if the dog is bothered by discharge. This can complicate diagnosis and lead to incorrect treatment.

Tell the truth

Be honest with your vet about your pet's condition. Don't be shy about talking about injuries, poor nutrition, or self-medication. The more information you provide, the more accurate the diagnosis will be and the faster the treatment will begin.
