Add a pet

Pets are the stars of the show. Keep their profiles tidy with names, breeds, quirks, health info, and a photo.

Step-by-step

1. Click New Pet — open Clients & Pets, choose Pets, then hit New Pet. You can also start from a client record.
2. Upload a photo (optional) — add a profile picture now or later.
3. Enter the basics
   • Name (required)
   • Client (optional — link to an owner so bookings and reminders tie correctly)
   • Breed(s) (search, select, or type a new one and press Enter)
   • Sex, Weight, Date of Birth, Age (optional)
4. Health & medical info (optional)
   • Temperament
   • Allergies
   • Medical conditions
5. Grooming & vet info (optional)
   • Last groomed date
   • Microchip number
   • Vet info (can be required if you switch on "Vet info required" in Settings)
6. Notes (optional) — keep quirks here. Examples: "Hates the dryer", "Needs a break for nails".
7. Save the pet
   • Save Pet returns to the Pets list.
   • Save & Create Booking jumps straight into a new booking.

   

Pro tips

• Link pets to the right client whenever possible — it keeps bookings and reminders flowing.
• Use pet notes for quirks and behaviour; keep payment or scheduling info in client notes.
• Add the Last Groomed date if you know it — this powers recall reminders later.

The breed list is fully customisable — contact support if you have special requirements.
