Treatments

What is a treatment?

In PadsPass, a treatment is a record of an action taken to prevent, manage, or address a health-related issue that is not a vaccination and not a diagnostic test. It can be a one-time action or a course over time.

What can be logged as a treatment?

Examples include:

• Medications & preventives (e.g., parasite preventives, prescribed medications)
• Procedures & therapies (e.g., dental work, wound care, bandage changes, rehab/therapy sessions)
• Short courses or one-time interventions (e.g., eye/ear treatments, nausea support, post-visit care plans)

What information to include

For clear, useful records, include:

• What: product/procedure name (and strength/concentration if relevant)
• When: date given (plus start/end dates if it’s a course)
• Amount & schedule: dose and frequency (if applicable)
• Provider: clinic and/or licensed veterinarian (if applicable)
• Proof (optional but helpful): label photo, invoice, discharge notes, or written instructions

How treatments differ from other records

• Vaccination: immunizations with schedules/expirations
• Test: diagnostics with a collection date and result
• Treatment: an action taken (often with a schedule and supporting documentation)

Tip: Logging treatments soon after they happen helps keep your pet’s profile organized and easier to reference when preparing documents or sharing records.
