N.H. Admin. Code § Vet 701.02 - Transfer of Records
(a) The original physical records shall be
the property of the practice, shelter, or facility at which care was provided
except that the licensed veterinarian shall comply with any request by the
animal's owner for a copy of the records within one week. A minimal fee may be
charged but the sending of the copies shall not be contingent upon payment of
any prior outstanding balance or this fee.
(b) All previous veterinary medical records
relating to the animal, not the owner, shall become available to the new owner
of an animal.
(c) Unique,
non-digital radiographs and ultrasonographic images shall be transferred to the
new veterinarian if requested by the animal's owner but shall be returned to
the original veterinarian. The new veterinarian may make copies of the images
if needed.
(d) Medical records
exclude financial and billing information.
