Build your catalog to support vaccines, traits, and better health insights.
Overview
Species & Breeds form the backbone of health guidance. Species identifies the animal type; Breeds refine expectations for weight, temperament, care level, life span, and size. With accurate breed data, the system can better judge healthy weight ranges and suggest relevant vaccines.
- Smarter health checks: Breed ranges improve weight status and alerts.
- Cleaner data: Colors and activity flags make lists easy to scan.
- Linked catalog: Jump between species, breeds, and related vaccines.
How It Works
- Create species first, then add related breeds.
- Use color tags to quickly scan lists.
- Stats show how many pets and related medical records exist per breed/species.
