How to Export a Vet Report from TreatCheck
TreatCheck's Vet Report feature generates a clean, printable summary of your pet's food check history and any logged reactions, formatted for easy sharing with your veterinarian. This guide explains what the vet report contains and how to access and export it.
What the Vet Report Contains
The Vet Report provides your vet with a structured overview of your pet's recorded food history in TreatCheck. It includes: your pet's profile details (species, breed, age, weight, health conditions, allergies); a chronological list of food safety checks you have run, with safety verdicts and dates; a summary of any reactions you have logged via the Reaction Tracker; and any correlations TreatCheck has identified between foods eaten and subsequent reactions.
This consolidated timeline can help your vet identify potential dietary triggers for conditions like recurrent vomiting, skin problems, or digestive issues, and can give them a clear picture of what your pet has been eating recently — information that can take many consultation minutes to piece together otherwise.
How to Access and Print the Vet Report
The Vet Report is found in the Advanced Tools section of your pet's dashboard. Navigate to your pet's dashboard, scroll to the Advanced Tools grid, and tap 'Vet Report'. The report displays in a clean, print-optimised layout with your pet's profile at the top followed by the chronological event timeline.
To export as a PDF: on desktop, use your browser's print function (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) and select 'Save as PDF' as the printer. On mobile, use your browser's share → print function. The report uses a print-specific CSS stylesheet that automatically removes navigation bars, buttons, and non-essential UI — you will see a clean document-style layout when printing.
To share digitally: save as a PDF and attach it to an email to your veterinary practice, or bring the PDF on your phone or tablet to show your vet directly during the consultation.
Logging Data to Improve Your Vet Report
The quality of your Vet Report depends on the data you log in TreatCheck. The most useful reports come from consistently logging:
Food Diary entries: log what you feed your pet using the 'Give as Treat' flow after food checks, or by adding diary entries manually. Every food logged contributes to the timeline.
Reaction Tracker entries: if your pet shows symptoms after eating — vomiting, diarrhoea, skin reactions, lethargy — log these in the Reaction Tracker. Include the severity (1–5), the approximate time after eating, and the symptoms observed. TreatCheck uses reaction logs to identify potential associations with specific foods.
Weight Logs: regular weight entries are included in the health summary and give your vet a trend line of body weight over time — valuable for managing obesity, weight loss, or recovery from illness.
When to Bring a Vet Report
Vet reports are most useful in specific scenarios: when your pet has an unresolved recurring health issue that may be diet-related; when your pet has recently eaten something potentially problematic; before a nutritional consultation or dietary change discussion; and as a record to share with a new vet if you change practices.
The report is not intended as a substitute for describing symptoms to your vet in person — it is a supporting tool that gives them useful structured data to work from. Most vets appreciate having this kind of documented history, as it reduces the time spent piecing together a dietary history from memory.
