Start with permanent data
Write down the species, breed, date of birth or approximate age, weight, allergies, chronic conditions, microchip number and insurance information. This is a baseline that does not need to be entered before each new event.
Keep each event separately
For a visit, vaccination, appointment, or test result, include the date, reason, physician's finding, and next follow-up step. Attach a scan or photo to a specific event, and not to a general folder without context.
Keep dynamics, not individual numbers
It is more useful to look at weight, height and temperature in sequence. If the value seems unusual, double-check the measurement and add a note about the conditions, and leave the medical conclusions to the doctor.
Before your clinic visit, export a short history or open the latest events in your profile - this will make it easier for the doctor to see chronology.
