Ask Your Primary Veterinarian for Medical Records

We have created a sample email you can send your primary veterinarian's office requesting the medical records we need for your appointment with the Behavior Service. Go to the sample and copy and paste it or use the information to call and request records for your pet to be sent to us.

  • Copy the sample email below replacing the placeholders with your own information and send it to your veterinarian's office to request the medical records we need prior to your appointment with the Behavior Service.


    Dear Dr. {veterinarian's name}

    I am making an appointment with the Behavior Service at Cummings Veterinary Medical Center at Tufts University in Grafton, MA for {pet's name}. Tufts need the last 6 months (or as appropriate) of medical records. Please contact them if you have any questions about what to include or for exceptions.

    These records should include:

    • Complete blood count, biochemistry profile and urinalysis
    • Weight and body condition scores
    • Additional relevant diagnostics (e.g. urine culture, T4, echocardiography, ultrasound reports)

    You may submit the records electronically here or they can be emailed to medrec@tufts.edu (please include reference to {pet's name}'s upcoming appointment when emailing).

    Thank you,
