Medications and timing
Follow the written schedule. If a dose is missed, or you are not sure it was given, call the owner. Do not give a second dose to catch up. Keep each medication in the labeled container it arrived in.

Vet and emergency contacts
Heart murmur and MVD notes
Familiar, a call, or a vet
Familiar, no action
Panting after play or warm weather, a brief cough after drinking fast, a slower hot-afternoon walk, more naps than a busier breed.
Call the owner
A new cough that is not listed here, breathing at rest that is faster than this dog's usual rate, less interest in a normal walk, appetite off for more than a day.
Vet now, then the owner
Working hard to breathe while resting, gums that look blue or pale, collapse or fainting, lethargy that rest does not change. If something feels seriously wrong, go first.
Confirm targets and thresholds with your own vet.
