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 ](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/veterinary-science/articles/10.3389/fvets.2025.1675984/full)HTML page provides the scholarly abstract. This original template is not a scientifically validated instrument. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a pet owner needs survey?
