Outcome

In his first week with 13-week-old Great Dane puppy Ruby, Tony of Tony Reviews Things used ChatGPT for crate setup, training 'sit' and a feeding schedule that included meds and potty breaks. When he described her symptoms it listed possibilities with a UTI at the top; he raised it with the vet, who confirmed a UTI, and she was back to normal within 24 hours of treatment. He says it gave him the language to advocate at the vet, not a replacement for one.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points.

Goal: Build a daily routine for my new puppy covering meals, medicine, potty breaks, crate time and training, around my work schedule.

What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing):
- Breed, age and weight
- Vet's feeding amounts and any medication with timing
- My work and sleep schedule
- Crate, other pets, and who else helps
- Training goals for this month

Rules:
- Use the vet's feeding and medication instructions exactly; never change doses.
- Plan potty breaks after waking, eating and play, at intervals right for the puppy's age.
- Include short training sessions (5 minutes) and calm crate time.
- If I describe symptoms, list questions to ask the vet and tell me to call the vet; don't diagnose.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A time-by-time daily schedule, a medication log table, and a weekly training plan.

You'll know it worked when: the puppy is fed and medicated on time, accidents drop, and I have notes ready for the vet.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
