Using a chart
How to keep track of your pet's medication
A paper chart works when everyone in the house uses it the same way. Five habits make it reliable.
- Copy the label, word for word.The medication, its strength and the dose exactly as the pharmacy label or your vet wrote them. If the label is unclear, ask the clinic before the first dose, not after.
- One row per dose time.A tablet given morning and evening takes two rows, so each dose has its own box to fill in.
- Initials, not ticks.With two or more people in the house, initials answer “did anyone give it?” and stop a dose being given twice.
- Keep it where the medicine is.On the fridge or next to the bottle, with a pen. For a pet sitter, fill in the vet's number before you leave.
- Take it to the vet.Bring the filled-in sheets to check-ups, and keep the old ones: a few months of records show patterns a single visit can't.

About the printable charts
Are the charts really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no email address to give. Print as many copies as you need, for your own pets or to hand out at a shelter, a rescue or a clinic.
Which paper size should I pick?
US Letter in the US and Canada, A4 almost everywhere else. Print the PDF at 100% (actual size). The Print button on each chart page fits both sizes.
Can I fill them in on my phone or computer?
They're made for a pen. On an iPhone or iPad you can open the PDF in the Files app and write on it with Markup, and most PDF apps on a computer let you type into it as well.
Can you tell me the right dose for my pet?
No. Only your vet can. The charts have room to copy your vet's instructions, and contain no dosing advice of their own.
