vets are brilliant.
their paperwork is not written for you.
you just got home. your pet is groggy. you have three pages of clinical shorthand and no idea what half of it means. the clinic is closed.
you're not a vet. you shouldn't need to be. your vet told you everything — they just wrote it in a language you can't use at 9pm when you're exhausted.
a furbrief is that same document, translated into plain english. ready in 60 seconds.
administer Carprofen 25mg PO BID with food × 5 days. do not give if anorexic or vomiting.
monitor surgical site for erythema, exudate, or dehiscence. e-collar to remain in place.
restrict activity 10–14 days. leash walks only for elimination.
amoxicillin 250mg BID × 7 days. recheck in 14 days.
four things. all of them useful.
day-by-day schedule
not generic — pulled from your actual papers. know what to expect today, days 1–3, 4–7, and when you can finally breathe.
medication guide
every medication decoded — what it's for, how to give it, and what "BID with food" means when you're in the kitchen at midnight.
warning signs
"call your vet if you see this" — specific to your surgery. only the flags that actually apply to your situation.
don't panic section
things that look scary but are completely expected. know what's normal so you can actually sleep tonight.
a few things worth knowing
"is this replacing my vet?"
not even slightly. everything in your furbrief comes from the papers your vet already gave you. we translate — we don't add anything.
"is my pet's info safe?"
your papers are processed and immediately deleted. nothing stored. once your furbrief is ready, it's gone from our end.
"what if my papers are blurry?"
that's exactly what furbrief was built for. blurry photos, handwritten notes, any clinic's pdf. if unreadable we'll tell you — not guess.
"is the $6 refundable?"
yes — within 24 hours, no questions. if it's not useful, email us and we'll refund immediately.
surgery like this typically costs $2,000–$6,000 without insurance
most pet owners get insurance right after their first emergency. if you're thinking about it now — which is exactly the right time — here's where we'd start.
quick answers
any surgery where your vet gave you discharge papers — spays, neuters, TPLO, dental extractions, tumour removals, emergency procedures.
yes — dogs, cats, and most other pets. just tell us the species when you upload.
yes — your furbrief is a clean printable page. save as pdf, screenshot it, or share the link with anyone helping with recovery.
probably not! furbrief is for the 90% of discharge papers written in clinical shorthand.
