Pet Owner Needs Survey Template
A service that assumes every owner needs the same supplies can waste limited resources. Ask about the pet at home, what is hard to obtain, and which existing local services people know about. Adapt these seven optional questions with SurveyLegend once the actual audience and setting are defined.

How to adapt it
Use local names for available services and distinguish cats and dogs. Ask an open needs question before showing a prompted list if interview time allows. Avoid collecting addresses or medical histories in the public demo, and provide a separate private route for urgent care.
When to ask
Run before changing a resource center's stock or services, then review after a defined period.
How to interpret responses
Count needs by species and examine unprompted requests alongside the checklist. A small client sample cannot represent all local pet owners; compare findings with service usage and community partners before changing inventory.
Research context
A University of Wisconsin-Madison community veterinary care case study completed 51 client surveys and asked about pet supplies and services, using both open and prompted questions. Its single-clinic client sample is a useful method example, not a universal priority list. The University of Wisconsin-Madison WisCARES study HTML page provides the scholarly abstract. This original template is not a scientifically validated instrument.
