Before and after

BEFORE · what the owner typed

Need a care sheet. Store is Deermont Pet Supply, 6482 Claymont Rd, Goldgate, phone 319-555-0100. Sold today 3/14 to Helen Barnes. She bought a female Roborovski dwarf hamster, we call her Pistachio, about 10 weeks old. Also sold her a 40 gallon tank with a mesh lid, a Kaytee Clean and Cozy paper bedding bag, a 12 inch Silent Spinner wheel, a ceramic hide, a water bottle, and a bag of Higgins Sunburst hamster mix. Feed 1 tablespoon of the mix once a day in the evening, fresh water every day. Spot clean every few days, full bedding change every 2 weeks. Keep the tank away from direct sun and heaters. Leave her alone for the first 3 days except food and water. Then let her sniff your hand in the tank before picking her up. She is a little shy and a fast runner so handle her low over a soft surface. Guarantee: 7 days, bring her back with the receipt if she gets sick and we'll swap her or refund. Recommended vet is Dr. Holly Byrd, Eaglemont Exotic Vet, 319-555-0101.

What it does

Turns the store's own notes about a live animal sale into a one-page care sheet the new owner can take home. It covers feeding, housing, handling, the settling-in period, and what the store guarantees, using only what the store tells you.

Use it when: Use when a pet store sells a live animal and needs a printed care sheet for the new owner, such as "make a care sheet for this sale," "write up care instructions for the hamster we just sold," or "new pet handout for this customer."
