Existing Clients: “My Pets”

“My Pets” is where information is kept on each of your pets. Every pet in the home should have an individual profile (fish sharing the same tank, with the name needs, can be kept in a single profile). This includes dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, mice, turtles, frogs, snakes, etc. Even if you do not expect to ask us to care for this pet, please provide their information.

To access “My Pets”, make sure the left-hand menu is open (may require clicking the 3 horizontal bars in the top left corner of the screen). Click “Petcare”, then “My Pets”.
On this screen, you will see a grey table with each of your exiting pets. At the right end of each animals you’ll see 3 buttons: a downward arrow, a pencil, and a gear.
The arrow button will expand the view of your pets information in the table.
The pencil button gives you the ability to edit your pets profile.
The gear button gives you the option to edit your pets profile, mark them inactive (makes it so you cannot view them in your profile/cannot book them for services; we can still see the pet on the administrative end), or mark them deceased (you will no longer see the pet on your end; we can still see the pet on the administrative end).

If you click on the edit button, it will take you into the “Update Pet” page, sometimes opening the “Details” section first, and sometimes opening the “Medical” sections first.
Each section can be collapsed using the “-” button in the section header banner, or the next button at the end of the section. Each section can be expanded using the “+” button in the section header banner.
Simply edit the field you wish, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click the green save button.

Below is a detailed breakdown of exactly what is being asked for in each section.
