Client and Patient Records

Copy page

Client and patient records are the foundation of everything else in Veterian. Every appointment, visit, vaccination, prescription and invoice attaches to a client and, in most cases, to one of their pets.

Each pet belongs to a client, so the client is always created first.

Work through these two in order. A visit record needs a pet, and a pet needs an owner.

  1. Add a client — the pet owner
  2. Add a pet — the patient

  • The notification switches are on by default on a new client, and one of them sends the client a message the moment you save. Read that section before entering clients in bulk. See Add a client.
  • Species and breed are picked from lists your clinic maintains, not typed. If a breed is missing, it is added under Clinic Admin.
