If You Change Vets, Take Your Dog's Records with You

Your relationship with your vet is as important as your relationship with your dog. If you love your dog, you should love your vet. Should you change vets, make sure you either take your dogs medical records with you or have them directly sent to the new vet.

Those records are legally yours, and not legally the property of the former vet. Just as it is for human patients, canine patients' diagnoses depend upon a knowledge of medical history.
