What should I bring to the vet? Pativo's one-page report
Pativo's vet report puts the last 90 days of your pet's records on one page, in the order a vet asks about them: who the pet is, weight, the daily log, toilet, logged events, recent changes, medication, vaccinations, previous visits, owner observations and your questions. It contains observations and dates only, never a diagnosis, and you share it as text from your phone.
Free: a preview of the first sections, and the full report free to share after an urgent result. Premium: share the full report any time.
What is in the vet report?
The vet report is a one-page summary of the last 90 days of your pet's records, written so a vet can scan it in a minute. Each section appears only if you have recorded something for it, so there is no padding.
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Pet | Name, species, breed, age in months, sex |
| Weight | Latest weight with its date, and the change over the period |
| Daily log | How many check-ins you made, and the average appetite, energy, drinking and toilet out of 5 |
| Toilet | Stools and urinations a day, and the average faecal score on a 7-point scale |
| Logged events | Each kind of event with its count and the last date, such as "Vomit: 3 (last 12 March)" |
| Recent changes | Measures that have been higher or lower than usual, and for how many days |
| Current medication | Name, dose and frequency as you entered them, and the start date |
| Vaccinations | The most recent, with dates |
| Previous visits | Date, reason and what was noted |
| Pain scores | Scores from the guided pain assessment, where you used it |
| Owner observations | Symptom checks you ran, with the signs and your description |
| Questions from the owner | Up to six questions gathered from your checks |
It ends with a line saying it was prepared by the owner using Pativo and contains recorded observations, not a veterinary assessment.
Why is it arranged in that order?
Because that is roughly the order of a consultation: who the animal is, how its weight and daily habits have moved, what has changed and since when, what it is taking, and its history. The question a vet asks most, "how long has this been going on?", gets a dated answer instead of a guess.
The daily log is what makes the report useful. A line such as "Appetite has been lower than usual for 4 days" comes from comparing your check-ins with your pet's own learned normal.
Why does it not include a diagnosis?
A report that claims a diagnosis puts a vet in the position of arguing with an app. Pativo's report sticks to what you saw and when, which is the part only you can provide. It does not restate any AI verdict as fact. Symptom checks appear as something you ran, with your own words, and the urgency result is left out.
What is the "Until you see the vet" plan?
The plan is a separate part of every symptom check result above Nothing alarming. It gives you how soon to go, what to do now, what not to do, and a short "What to tell the vet" summary of what you reported. That summary is meant for the phone call or the front desk: copy it, share it, or read it out. Missing details, such as age or onset, are marked "not stated" rather than guessed.
Use the plan for today's call and the report for the appointment itself.
How do I share it?
On the Health tab, tap "Prepare vet visit report", then "Share with your vet". It goes out as plain text through your phone's share sheet, so you can send it by message or email, or simply hand the phone across the desk.
- Keep a few daily check-ins and a weight entry; the report tells you when there is too little to be worth handing over.
- On the Health tab, tap "Prepare vet visit report".
- Read it through, then share it or show it on screen.
What are its limits?
The report is only as complete as your records. It reflects what you logged, not what happened while nobody was logging, and the dose and frequency of medicines are shown exactly as you typed them. It is not a medical record from a practice, and it does not replace your vet's own notes or tests.
Is it free?
On the free plan you can open the report and see the first sections as a preview. Sharing the full 90 days is part of Premium. One exception is built in: if your pet has an open symptom check rated See a vet today or Emergency, the full report is free to share, because a report should never stand between an animal and a vet. See pricing.
Separately, the data export is always free. It can produce a printable PDF health record for any pet, with or without a subscription.
What happens to my data?
The report is built on your phone from records stored encrypted on the device and synced to your own account. Nothing is sent to your vet unless you share it. More in the privacy policy.
Questions owners ask
Does the vet report include a diagnosis?
No. It contains what you recorded, with dates. Where a symptom check is mentioned, it is listed as something you ran, with the signs you picked and your own description, not as a finding.
How do I send it to my vet?
Tap share and choose any app on your phone, such as messages or email. The report is sent as plain text, so it reads the same on any device.
How far back does it go?
The last 90 days. Weight change, the daily log averages and logged events are all counted over that window.
Is there a free way to give my vet everything?
Yes. The data export is always free and can produce a full PDF health record for any pet. The vet report is the shorter, curated version for a visit.
