Bring the full paper (or digital) trail with you — vaccination records, any treatment history, and the import/health certificate used for entry — and hand it over at the first appointment rather than waiting to be asked. Most vets are used to piecing together an imported pet's history from documentation rather than a verbal summary, so a complete written record does most of the work for you here.

My dog has a somewhat complicated medical history and vaccination record from two different countries now, and I'm nervous about a new vet here having enough context to actually pick up where the last one left off properly.
