How do I keep track of vet visits?

1. Open your pet and tap Visits.
2. Tap Book appointment.
3. Under What’s it for, pick the kind of visit.
4. Pick the Date, and the Time if you know it.
5. Under Where, pick the Vet and the Clinic.
6. Under Before the visit, choose when VetVitae should Remind me.
7. Tap Book appointment. The visit shows under Coming up, on Home, and you get the reminder before it.

Which kinds of visit are there?

A visit is a Check-up, Vaccination, Sick visit, Follow-up, Dental, Surgery, Exams or Other. The kind is the visit's name when you leave Title empty, so "Check-up" is enough for most visits. Add a title only when it helps, like "Yearly check-up" or "Pre-op consult".

Visits of the kind Surgery are also listed under Surgeries on your pet's Overview, so the next vet sees them at a glance.

How do I book an appointment?

Book it from Visits with Book appointment, with Already happened left off. Only the kind and the date are needed. The time can wait until the clinic confirms it.

• What’s going on: symptoms or questions for the vet. It shows on the visit as Why.
• Came from: link the visit to an earlier visit or exam that led to it. VetVitae offers the three closest to the date, or Not from a visit or exam. Picking one brings its vet and clinic along.
• Vet and Clinic: picked from your contacts. A new visit starts with your pet's usual vet. Picking a vet who works at one clinic fills the clinic for you. New contact adds one without leaving the form.
• Remind me: On the day, 1 day before, 2 days before, 1 week before or Off, at the Reminder time you choose. The default is 1 day before at 09:00.
• Prep: anything to do beforehand, like fasting, samples to bring or papers. It shows as Before the visit on the appointment until the day comes.

To change the date or anything else, open the visit and tap Reschedule or edit.

How do I log a visit that already happened?

Tap Log a past visit, or turn on Already happened in the form. A past visit opens What the vet said, where everything is optional and even one line helps the next vet.

1. Pick the kind and the Date of the visit.
2. Fill in what you have under What the vet said: Findings, Diagnosis, Weight at the visit and Cost.
3. Under Book a follow-up?, pick 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month or Pick a date, or leave No.
4. Under Documents, attach the report, the prescription or the exam request.
5. Tap Save visit.

A logged visit can't have a date in the future. If you pick a date that has passed while booking, VetVitae asks you to turn on Already happened.

What is "How did it go?"

When a booked visit's date and time have passed, the visit asks how it went, on the Visits list and on the visit itself. It stays there until you answer, so nothing is left half recorded.

• Log the visit opens the form at What the vet said, ready to fill in.
• It didn’t happen marks the visit as missed and turns its reminder off. It stays in the history, struck through.

How do I add what the vet asked for?

Everything the vet asks for can start from the visit, so it stays linked to it.

• An exam: attach the vet's exam request to the visit as Exam request. The row shows Add to Exams, which opens a new exam already linked to the visit, with its date, vet and clinic. See exams and tests.
• A medicine: on a logged visit, tap Add a medicine. The medicine form opens linked to the visit. See medicines.
• A follow-up: tap Add a follow-up (next section).

The visit's Linked card shows what it came from and what it led to. Tap any of them to open it. Link connects a visit to an exam, test or medicine you already logged.

How do I book a follow-up?

On a logged visit, tap Add a follow-up, pick 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month or a date, add a time and a reason, and tap Book follow-up. The follow-up lands in Coming up with the same vet, linked to this visit, with a reminder the day before.

You can also book it while logging the visit, with Book a follow-up? in the form. Add a follow-up disappears once the visit has one.

Can I attach the prescription and reports?

Yes. Under Documents, attach anything the clinic gave you and say what it is: Report, Prescription, Exam request, Referral, Image or Other. Before the visit, the same place holds a referral, earlier results or forms to bring.

To fill the cost and notes from the invoice or the visit summary, tap Scan in Documents. See scanning a document.

Files attached to the visit also show, read only, on the exam or medicine it led to, so the prescription is next to the medicine without a second copy. More in files.

How do I note symptoms for the visit?

Log them as observations and attach them to the visit. On the visit, the Observations folder has Add observation: log something new, or pick what you already logged since the last visit. The vet sees them together on the visit.

How do I share my pet's history before the visit?

Open the booked visit and tap Share history with and the vet's name. VetVitae makes a vet link named after the vet that works until 7 days after the visit. Send it by WhatsApp, email or a QR code, and the vet opens it in any browser, with no account.

How do I cancel or delete a visit?

Cancel appointment keeps the visit in the history as cancelled and turns its reminder off. VetVitae doesn't tell the clinic, so let them know too. To remove a visit completely, open it, tap More actions (⋯) and Delete appointment. Deleting removes its documents too. A follow-up booked from it stays, unlinked.
