Managing Pets

The Pets module stores each pet's clinical identity record. It connects the pet to its owner, clinic, species, breed, and status.

What you can do here​

  • search pets by pet name, owner, microchip, or kennel number
  • filter by species and status
  • sort pet records
  • open a pet's details page
  • add a new pet
  • edit an existing pet

Main screen layout​

The pets list shows:

  • pet name
  • parent name
  • clinic
  • profile summary such as species, breed, and sex
  • actions

Adding a pet​

  1. Open Pets.
  2. Select Add Pet.
  3. Enter the pet's identifying details.
  4. Link the correct pet parent.
  5. Save the record.

Editing a pet​

  1. Search for the pet.
  2. Open the record.
  3. Update the required identity or status details.
  4. Save the changes.

Using search and filters​

Search works well when you know:

  • the pet's name
  • the owner name
  • the microchip number
  • the kennel number

Use filters when you want to narrow the list by:

  • species
  • status
  • sort order

Why this page matters​

This list is often the fastest place to confirm whether a pet already exists before booking an appointment or starting a consultation.

Common mistakes to avoid​

  • creating a second record for the same pet
  • linking the pet to the wrong owner
  • leaving species or breed incomplete when the clinic needs those fields for reporting
