What the checklist covers
- Unconfirmed bookings, schedule conflicts, travel time, and changed instructions.
- Incomplete client, pet, access, incident, and follow-up records.
- Expected receipts, outstanding amounts, direct costs, expenses, and record gaps.
- Repeat-booking activity, referral sources, and one evidence-based improvement.
Page two: weekly scorecard and exception queue
Record six operating signals, then move anything unresolved into a short queue with one owner, one next action, and one due date.
The checklist is an operational aid. It is not legal, veterinary, medical, tax, accounting, insurance, or safety advice. Adapt it to the business, services, jurisdiction, software, and qualified professional guidance.
