To monitor the animal's health for changes
For insurance purposes
To prepare the animal for transportation

The correct answer is: To monitor the animal's health for changes

Obtaining an animal's health history during the intake process is crucial for monitoring the animal's health for changes over time. This historical information provides insight into any pre-existing conditions, vaccination records, and any past treatments or health issues the animal may have faced. Keeping track of this information allows animal control officers and veterinarians to identify trends, respond to health concerns promptly, and implement appropriate care plans moving forward. When an animal's health history is documented, it is easier to compare with future assessments, thereby facilitating more accurate monitoring for any changes that may occur during the animal's stay in a shelter or control facility. By having a comprehensive view of the animal's prior health records, staff can ensure that the animal's needs are met appropriately, improving overall outcomes for the animal's welfare.
