best small notebook for work?

my job requires me to carry around a notebook, so that i can keep track of all the information i might need to reference on a daily basis (vet receptionist/tech). i've been using a flexible 3x5 moleskine, but it's just not holding up. any other suggestions? i usually carry it in the little cargo pocket on my scrub pants.
Steno pads work very well for this and hold up well.

I’m a fan of Rhodia notebooks, found they held up very well on my shifts as a nurse and midwife.

There are many, many, many covers available for 3x5 notebooks (the ones I've linked are mostly either leather or on the tacticool side, but there are also a lot of nice fabric ones, including these bright nylon ones, that might better match what I imagine to be a vet receptionist/tech's aesthetic). I use this one most days.
Expedition Field Notes are more durable than most 3x5 notebooks.

This Rite in the Rain notebook is pretty sturdy.

I was going to mention the Expedition Field Notes, as well. They're made of Yupo, a synthetic waterproof paper that doesn't tear.

Nth-ing Rite in the Rain - I see them all over in forestry and ag fieldwork and Rite-in-the-Rain xeroxed forms in wet laboratories.
