USE CASES
Help your veterinarian see what’s changed over time.
Your veterinarian has medical records, test results, and what they can observe during an appointment.
You know what your pet is like at home. You notice when they eat differently, move more slowly, sleep somewhere unusual, or stop doing something they normally enjoy.
Cotl helps you keep those observations, changes, treatments, and records as they happen, then prepare comprehensive Care Notes for a new appointment.
CAPTURE WHAT MAKES YOUR PET SPECIAL
Build it once. Keep it current. Always have the full picture.
Keep what matters about your pet in one current profile, then use it to create Care Notes for your pet, so they can understand your pet’s full experience.
The appointment is one moment. The useful context started earlier
A veterinarian may only see your pet for a short appointment. The history you have been keeping can help show when something started, how it changed, and what else was happening at the time.
Your Cotl profile can also show what happened between appointments. It can preserve the changes you noticed at home, how your pet responded to treatment, and what is different from their normal behavior.
Keep the history as it happens
Add an observation when your pet begins behaving or responding differently. Track current medications, dosage changes, records, treatments, and what you noticed after they began.
Keep the everyday context that helps explain whether something is actually new or unusual for them.
The information builds gradually as you care for your pet. You don’t have to reconstruct it when an appointment is already approaching.
Bring more than the latest record
Prepare Care Notes with history, medication, records, observations, and other details that may be relevant so you don’t forget anything during the vet appointment.
Download the Care Notes as a PDF or share them through a live link. Your veterinarian does not need a Cotl account to read them.
Keep building after the appointment
After the visit, add any new diagnosis, medication, care instructions, or follow-up information to your pet’s profile.
Upload the records you receive, and update anything that has changed.
The next time your pet needs care, Cotl can draw from that fuller history instead of asking you to remember and rewrite it.
