Add Pet Details and Photo

Modified on Thu, 19 Dec at 8:49 AM

Once you Add a New Pet Record, you or your client (via the Client Portal) can add information about that pet, as well as upload a photo for identification and to personalize the client experience. Pet records contain care details for each pet and are "associated" to a client account. Each Client Account can have as many pet records as needed. 



Note: There are three different pet records preset: "Dog", "Cat" & "Standard." When adding a new Pet, when "Type" is Dog, a different list of Page names and questions appear, when "Type" is Cat a different list appears as well. This helps show how 
Custom Fields works and can be used.
