Stationery
The consulting room should be well stocked with stationery. Here is a checklist:
Consent forms giving permission for the veterinary surgeon to undertake a surgical procedure on the pet concerned.
Consent forms giving permission to euthanase a pet (the form should also include details of how the body is to be dealt with).
Condolence cards to send to bereaved pet owners.
Vaccination certificates (for cats, dogs, ferrets and rabbits).
Tablet envelopes for foil wrapped tablets (loose tablets are always dispensed in child-proof bottles).
Note paper.
Pens, pencils and markers.
Business cards.
Appointment cards.
Practice brochures/price tariff.
Label printer - Dispensing is made easier with the use of a label printer. The client details (name and address), date, animal's name, name and quantity of the drug and dosage instructions are all clearly displayed at the touch of a button. Make sure you know how to change the label roll and fit a new ink cartridge. Vets will often come steaming out demanding to know why their label printer isn't functioning - the printer must be "on line" to be able to work and the usual problem is that someone has inadvertently set it to "off line".
