What owners need to know
What owners need to know before admission
Hospitalisation can be stressful because owners cannot see every part of the process. Clear first-party information should explain why admission may be considered, what monitoring is planned, how updates are handled and which discharge signs require an earlier call. Isolation arrangements should also be described without making assumptions about an individual diagnosis.
