A health risk assessment form (see 1.2 Providing a Lifetime of Care) can assist the veterinary healthcare team in using client‐provided information to guide recommendations. The comments and recommendations need to be tailored to an appropriate locale and demographic. For example, a schnauzer and a Doberman pinscher both have risk for heart disease but not the same kinds. For the schnauzer, auscultation is warranted to listen for a mitral valve murmur and perform an ECG to look for atrioventricular (AV) block. In the Doberman, the focus is on looking for ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) caused by cardiomyopathy.

In a digital report card sort of format, it is easier to choose and print those risks that applied, and the client would not see those recommendations that weren't applicable to them.
