How do I share my pet's history with my vet?
Create a link from your pet's Overview with Share with a vet, choose how long it works and what it shows, then send it by WhatsApp, a QR code or any app. Your vet opens it in any browser, with no account, and sees the history read only.
Updated November 3, 2026
- Open your pet and tap Share with a vet under Quick actions.
- Under Who is it for?, type a label you will recognize later, like "For Dr. Ana". It is optional.
- Under Works for, pick 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or No end date.
- Under What to share, pick Everything, Medical only or Custom.
- Leave Include files on if the vet should see reports, prescriptions, images and vaccine stickers.
- Tap Create link. Your link is ready shows the link and a QR code.
- Tap Send to open your phone's share sheet, or Copy link to paste it anywhere. In the room, the vet can scan the QR code with a phone.
Where else can I create a link?
You can also create a link from the pet's Share page or from an upcoming vet visit.
- Share page: open the pet's ⋯ menu, tap Share (or Share and tag), and under Which vets can see Luna’s history? tap Share.
- An upcoming visit: open the appointment and tap Share history with and the vet's name. The link is labelled with the vet and works until 7 days after the visit, so you don't need to choose.
Only the owner and co-owners can create links.
What does my vet see?
Your vet sees one page that follows the order of a consult: who your pet is, what to watch out for, what is going on now, and then the full history.
- The header: photo, name, species, breed, sex, age, the latest weight with its date, and fears and good to know.
- Profile details: microchip, blood type, insurance, primary vet, likes and needs, and your profile notes.
- What to know first: allergies, chronic conditions, severe vaccine reactions, positive or inconclusive test results, and the weight loss warning.
- Right now: current medicines, new results from the last 30 days, results still waiting, and what is coming up or overdue.
- Medicines: every medicine in the link, ongoing ones first. Each opens to show the dose, how long it runs and how many doses were given, skipped or missed. When the dose or how often it was given changed, the courses show together, joined by a line with what changed and when.
- Observations from the last 30 days, then Food, Surgeries and Known test statuses.
- Care routine, Vaccination card and Weight, with the chart.
- History, with every entry by month, a type filter and search.
- Files, with Download all for a ZIP.
- Send a note, so the vet can reply with files.
A part with nothing in it is hidden. The page never says "no allergies" or "no tests", because an empty field means nobody logged it, not that the answer is no.
Fish, birds and reptiles also get their own parts: Water for fish, and Enclosure, Feeding, Sheds and brumation or Molts for reptiles and birds. See fish, birds and reptiles.
What is never shown to the vet?
Some things stay with your family, whatever you choose to share.
- Costs.
- Reminders and their settings.
- Who logged or edited each entry, and the people who share your pet.
- The medicine supply on hand.
- The Questions to ask list on a visit.
- Your contacts' phones, emails, addresses and the nicknames you gave them. Vets and clinics show only by name, with the license number and specialty when you saved them.
- Where you bought a food, and its package photo.
How long does a link work, and how do I stop it?
A link works for the time you picked, up to 90 days, or until you revoke it. You can also create one with No end date.
- Open the pet's ⋯ menu and tap Share (or Share and tag).
- Under Which vets can see Luna’s history?, find the link. Each one shows what it shares, until when it works, and how many times it was opened.
- Tap ⋯ next to it and choose Revoke link, then Revoke.
The link stops working right away, even on a page the vet already has open. A link can't be edited: to change what it shares or how long it works, revoke it and create a new one. Expired and revoked links leave the list.
Will my vet see what I log after sending the link?
Yes. The page is live: each time the vet opens it, it shows your pet's history as it is at that moment, until the link ends. When an exam result comes in after the visit, log it and the vet sees it at the same link.
Can I open the link at a specific part?
Yes. After you create a link, Opens at lets you choose where the page opens: The whole history, Right now, Medicines, Food, Care routine, Vaccination card, Weight, History, Files, or one of your pet's visits, exams, tests, medicines or observations. The link, the QR code, Send and Copy link all change to match.
Can my vet send something back?
Yes. At the end of the page, under Send a note, the vet writes their name and a note and can attach reports, prescriptions, exam requests and images. You find it on the pet's Share page, under What did they send back?, with its files.
- The vet can't edit or delete a note once it is sent. You and your co-owners can delete it from its ⋯ menu, with Delete note.
- Notes stay with your pet after the link ends.
- A revoked or expired link takes no new notes.
Will I know when the vet opened it?
Yes. The first time a link is opened, you and your co-owners get "Your link to Luna’s history was opened" in the app's notifications, with the link's label. Later openings only update the count on the Share page, so the notifications don't fill up when the vet comes back to the page.
What to know
- One link shows one pet.
- A link can't be edited. Revoke it and create another to change it.
- On the vet's page, Print prints the page as it is, and Download all gets every file as a ZIP. For a full PDF of the history, use Export history.
- The vet can switch the page's language and units. What you typed is never translated.
Questions
Does my vet need to install anything?
No. Your vet opens the link in any browser, on a phone or a computer, with no account and no app. The page is read only, so nothing the vet does changes your pet's record. The only thing a vet can add is a note with files, which you see on the pet's Share page.
Does the link show results I add after sending it?
Yes. A VetVitae link is live, not a copy. Each time your vet opens it, the page shows your pet's history as it is at that moment, until the link ends. This is the easiest way to answer "the result is in, can you take a look?": log the result and send the same link again.
Can a pet sitter use the link?
Yes. A vet link works for anyone you send it to: a pet sitter, a walker, or family who helps now and then. They see the history read only, with no account, including foods with their amounts and likes and needs like fears and handling tips. For a sitter who should also mark medicines and routines as done, invite them as a pet sitter.
Can the vet download everything?
Yes, when the link includes files. On the vet's page, Download all at the top of Files downloads every file as a ZIP, with one folder per entry. Each file can also be opened or downloaded on its own. Vaccine stickers are not in the ZIP, since they show on the vaccination card.
I sent the link to the wrong person. What do I do?
Revoke the link. Open the pet's ⋯ menu, tap Share, find the link under Which vets can see Luna’s history?, tap ⋯ and choose Revoke link. The link stops working right away, even on a page that is already open. Then create a new link for the right person.
