You prescribed prednisone to a dog earlier this week and explained to the pet owner that increased thirst and urination were normal. Now your client is calling, worried their dog is drinking and urinating more than usual.
We’ve all been there. Even when you explain things clearly, it’s easy for clients to forget or misinterpret instructions—especially when they’re overwhelmed or worried about their pets.
Whether it’s a missed detail, a language barrier, or confusion about what to do once they get home, the result is the same: extra phone calls, added stress for your team, and clients unsure what to do next.
That’s why we’ve redesigned (and translated!) the veterinary client drug handouts in Plumb’s: to help you reduce confusion, build client confidence, and support better care at home.
What’s New in Plumb’s Drug Handouts?
A cleaner design that’s easier for pet owners to follow
We redesigned these handouts with one clear goal: to make it easier for clients to understand what matters most. Drawing on research from human healthcare, we streamlined the layout to cut the clutter and answer the questions pet owners are most likely to ask—before they need to call.
All the essential information is still there, just presented in a way that’s easier for clients to understand and remember. The language is straightforward, the format is streamlined, and the result is clearer communication in the exam room and at home.
Spanish drug handouts that bridge communication barriers
Language barriers can turn even simple medication conversations into a source of confusion for clients trying to care for their pets—and for veterinary teams working to provide clear, helpful guidance.
That’s why we’ve professionally translated more than 100 of our most commonly shared veterinary drug handouts into Spanish. Each one has been carefully reviewed for accuracy and clarity, so you can feel confident your clients are getting the information they need in the language they understand best.
Step-by-step guidance for administering medications
Prescribing the right medication is only half the equation. If the client doesn’t understand how to give it, the treatment may not work as intended. Medications like ear drops, insulin, and subcutaneous fluids can be especially challenging. Even the clearest verbal instructions can easily be forgotten or misheard.
That’s where the new Plumb’s drug administration handouts come in. These step-by-step guides use clear, easy-to-understand language to walk clients through the process and help them feel more confident about giving medications at home.
Veterinary Client Education Materials Built for Busy Teams
These updates aren’t just about giving the handouts a new look—they’re shaped by what veterinary teams told us they needed most. When you’re managing a packed schedule and juggling follow-up calls, there isn’t time to repeat instructions.
And once they get home, even the most attentive pet owners can feel overwhelmed. Important details can be forgotten, misunderstood, or lost in translation—especially when they’re anxious, exhausted, or trying to care for a sick pet.
The new Plumb’s drug handouts are designed to:
- Reinforce the conversations you have in the clinic
- Give clients something clear and reliable to reference later
- Help pet owners feel confident and supported as they care for their pets at home
