Dog Surgery Recovery Tracker | Vet-Sourced Post-Op Care Log (Fillable PDF)

Track your dog's recovery after surgery with confidence — a vet-sourced, fillable post-op log for the incision, medications, and the daily signs that tell you what's normal and when to call the vet.

Most "surgery recovery" printables are human templates or cover just one condition. This one is built for dogs and works for ANY common surgery — spay/neuter, dental extractions, lump/mass removal, soft-tissue, and orthopedic (TPLO / knee / CCL). No fluff, no upsells, sourced to ASPCA, AAHA, AVMA, AKC, and VCA.

WHAT'S INSIDE (fillable PDF):
• Dog & surgery snapshot — vet + 24-hr ER contacts, suture-removal date, e-collar end date, meds
• Normal vs. "call-the-vet" incision reference (know what healthy healing looks like)
• Daily incision check log with a dated photo box — catch subtle changes early
• Medication grid + the human meds you must NEVER give (incl. Poison Control number)
• Daily recovery tracker — appetite, water, potty, energy, pain/comfort, e-collar & rest checks
• Activity-restriction checklist (leash-only, no jumping, stairs, or furniture)
• Surgery-type recovery roadmaps — spay/neuter, dental, mass removal, and TPLO timelines
• Home vitals quick-check (temp, gums, capillary refill) + a RED-FLAGS call-now page
• Appointment & suture-removal tracker + a filled example page

FORMAT: Instant-download PDF, both US Letter (8.5×11) and A4. Fill it on your device or print at home. Personal use.

Not a substitute for veterinary care — always follow your vet's discharge instructions. This tracker helps you monitor, medicate on schedule, and know when something needs a call.
