You’ve spent 20 minutes walking a client through a new diagnosis, medications, and what to watch for at home. It’s a lot to take in, especially when they’re worried about their pet. You want to give them something clear to refer back to, but writing personalized discharge instructions takes time you don’t have when appointments are waiting and you have records to finish.
ScribbleVet Care Cards help clients remember what you’ve discussed without adding more paperwork to your day.

What Are ScribbleVet Care Cards?
ScribbleVet Care Cards are AI-generated infographics that turn appointment notes into personalized veterinary discharge instructions for pet owners. ScribbleVet listens to your appointments or dictation and creates detailed medical notes, which it can then use to generate a Care Card with easy-to-read sections, headings, icons, checklists, and highlighted reminders.
Depending on the visit, a Care Card can include:
- Visit summary: Key findings and diagnoses explained in client-friendly language
- Medications: Prescribed treatments, administration instructions, and medication schedules
- Home care: Instructions for activity restrictions, incision care, diet, or other at-home needs
- Warning signs: Symptoms to monitor and when to contact the practice
- Follow-up care: Upcoming appointments, pending test results, and next steps
Care Cards for Everyday Veterinary Appointments
Care Cards aren’t just for complicated cases or surgical discharges. They can make everyday veterinary client education easier, especially when there’s a lot for owners to remember or follow through on at home.
For a dog with otitis externa, that might mean remembering how to clean the ears, when to give medication, and why the recheck matters. For a cat newly diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, a Care Card can bring together medication instructions, adverse effects to watch for, and follow-up testing. Even a routine wellness visit can come with preventive care recommendations or next steps worth putting in writing.
And because Care Cards are visual, clients don’t have to dig through paragraphs to find what they need. Medication instructions, home care recommendations, and warning signs are organized into sections they can quickly find.

Create a Care Card Without Starting From Scratch
Since ScribbleVet has already captured and organized the information from your appointment, generating a Care Card takes just a few clicks. You can then edit the text directly, give the AI specific instructions, or use quick suggestions to customize the content. That might mean emphasizing an important warning or clarifying something you discussed during the appointment. Care Cards can also be translated into several languages, including French and Spanish, for multilingual households.
Once you’ve reviewed everything for accuracy, you can print the Care Card or save it as an image or PDF to share with your client via email or your PIMS portal.
And with Plumb’s embedded right into ScribbleVet, you can also give clients detailed medication handouts to go with their Care Card. The Care Card covers their pet’s treatment and follow-up plan, while the Plumb’s handout goes into more detail about the medication, including how to give it, precautions, and potential adverse effects.
From Appointment to At-Home Care With ScribbleVet
You’ve already taken the time to explain the plan. With ScribbleVet Care Cards, you can give clients instructions to refer to and share at home without having to write everything out again.
