Record doses, track next due dates, costs, and payment status — and send reminders.
Overview
Vaccinations record protective shots for a pet with exact dates, doses, and the vaccine used from your catalog. The system calculates the next due date from vaccine rules, helps track payment, and provides reminders so owners never miss critical boosters.
By keeping batch numbers and adverse reactions alongside each dose, you gain clinical safety, product traceability, and better decision‑making for future shots.
- Due date automation: Next booster computed from vaccine settings.
- Traceability: Manufacturer, lot, and expiry in the record.
- Owner engagement: Timely reminders reduce overdue risk.
How It Works
- Create from an appointment or pet’s Vaccinations tab.
- Choose vaccine, date, dose, and vet. The app calculates the next due date from the vaccine settings.
- Mark status (Scheduled, Administered, Cancelled, Overdue) and send owner notifications.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Go to Pets › Health › Vaccinations.
- Click New, set pet and vaccine, and fill the date/dose.
