Book a Vet Appointment Online with PetID: Fast, Flexible, Records Ready

No more calling a clinic that never picks up, or turning up only to wait for ages. With PetID, you can book an appointment for your pet at partner veterinary clinics right from your phone, and your pet's records are ready when you arrive.

Many owners know the feeling: you want to take your pet for a vaccination but don't know how busy the clinic is, nobody answers the phone at peak hours, and once you get there you have to explain from scratch which shots your pet has had and what illnesses it has had before. The paper vaccination book is left at home, and photos of documents are lost somewhere in your phone.

For pets, waiting a long time in an unfamiliar place full of noises and other animals is stressful too. Booking ahead makes the visit easier for both of you.

• Plan your time: pick a clinic and a time slot that suits your schedule, right in the app.
• The clinic is prepared: partner clinics receive bookings in their system and manage schedules by day and by vet.
• Records travel with your pet: at check-in, the clinic can look up your pet's profile with its PetID code to see its details and visit history.
• Less paperwork: visit records are kept in one place instead of scattered across paper and chat messages.
• Connected to PetCare: if your pet has a PetCare plan, the partner clinic can send a cost support request directly in the system.

1. Create your pet's profile: if you haven't yet, add its name, species, breed, date of birth, weight and photo.
2. Choose a clinic: find a partner vet clinic that fits your location and needs.
3. Choose a service and time: pick an available slot and add a short note about your pet's condition, such as not eating, vomiting, itching or a vaccination due.
4. Confirm the booking: review the details and submit. Track the booking status in the app.
5. Arrive on time: bring your pet and your phone. The clinic looks up the profile with the PetID code, so check-in is quicker.

A complete health record gives the vet a full picture of your pet: which vaccines it has had, when it was last dewormed, and whether it has allergies or chronic conditions. This is especially valuable when you change clinics, need emergency care, or ask someone else to look after your pet.

To make the record as useful as possible:

• Update weight regularly: medicine doses often depend on body weight.
• Log vaccinations and deworming: so you and your vet know when the next one is due.
• Record allergies, existing conditions and current medicines: to avoid unnecessary risks.
• Note unusual changes: in eating, toileting or behaviour. Small details can be important clues for the vet.

Each pet's vaccination schedule depends on its age, health and living environment. Talk to your vet to get the right plan.

• For cats, use a carrier lined with a towel that smells familiar to reduce fear.
• For dogs, use a secure leash and collar, and don't forget the PetID QR tag.
• Ask the clinic in advance if your pet needs to fast for certain tests.
• Prepare your questions for the vet so you don't forget them.
• After the visit, check the record in the app and set a reminder for the follow-up.

PetID is expanding its network of partner clinics. Partner clinics can receive online bookings, look up pet profiles by PetID code, and manage visit records, invoices and staff on one platform. Learn more on PetID's partner sign-up page.
