Who, what, when, where and why
What it is
A two-page printable that brings birth preparation, first-72-hour observations and daily weight records into one shared place.
When to use it
From birth through the neonatal weeks, or whenever your vet asks you to monitor a puppy closely.
Where it works best
Keep a working copy beside the whelping area, protected from moisture and safely out of the mother’s reach. Take the completed record to veterinary appointments.
Why it was created
Newborn puppies can change quickly. A written baseline makes it easier to notice a feeding, warmth or weight pattern that deserves prompt veterinary attention.
