How do I save my pet's vet and clinic?

1. Tap Contacts.
2. Tap Add contact.
3. Type the Name. It's the only thing needed.
4. Pick the Kind, like Vet or Clinic.
5. Add a Phone, WhatsApp, Email or Address if you have them.
6. Tap Save contact.

What can a contact have?

Only the name is required. The rest is optional, and each way to reach them becomes a button on the contact.

• Kind: Vet, Clinic, Laboratory, Groomer, Pet shop, Pharmacy, Sitter or Other. It sorts your list and puts the right contacts first in each picker.
• Nickname: how you call them, like "Dr. Ana" for Ana Paula Souza. The nickname shows in pickers and lists; the full name shows on the contact's own page and on the printed vaccination card.
• CRMV in Brazil, or the number vets use where you live (like License in the US, Cédula profesional in Mexico or N.º de colegiado in Spain), and Specialty, for vets. The number is printed next to the vet's name on the vaccination card.
• Phone and WhatsApp, kept apart because clinics often have both. WhatsApp opens the chat directly.
• Email, Website and Address. While you type the address, VetVitae suggests places, and the contact gets Directions.
• Notes: opening hours, parking, "ask for Dr. Ana".

Can I add a contact while filling in a form?

Yes. Wherever you pick a vet, clinic or groomer, tap New contact. The contact form opens, and after you save, the new contact fills that field. Everything you typed on the page stays as it was.

How do I link a vet to a clinic?

Open the vet and, under Works at, tap Add clinic. Or open the clinic and, under Vets here, tap Add vet. The link shows on both. Picking that vet on a visit fills the clinic for you, and picking the clinic puts its vets first. A vet can work at several clinics, and a clinic can have several vets.

Where are my contacts used?

• On your pet's profile, as the usual vet and groomer, with call buttons.
• On visits, exams, tests, vaccines, deworming, medicines and care entries, as the vet, clinic, lab, groomer or whoever did it.
• On the emergency card, where your pet's vet has Call and WhatsApp.

A contact's page shows In the history: the pets whose profile names them, and the entries they appear on.

How do I share contacts with my family?

Share your contacts with the people who care for your pets with you, so they find the vet without asking. They see the contacts in their own VetVitae, read only.

1. In Contacts, tap Share contacts (the share icon at the top on phones).
2. Under Share with, pick All co-tutors, or one person.
3. Under What they see, pick Live list (every contact, including ones you add later) or Selected contacts (only the ones you pick).
4. Tap Done.

They can call and message from the contacts and pick them on entries, but can't edit or delete them. A shared contact shows Shared by and your name. Sharing stops on its own if they no longer share a pet with you. To stop sooner, go to Settings, Shared contacts, and tap Stop sharing. More in family and co-owners.

What happens when I archive or delete a contact?

Archive contact, in the contact's ⋯ menu, hides a vet or place you no longer go to from your list and the pickers. Past entries still name them, and a form where they're already picked keeps them. To pick one anyway, tap +1 archived at the end of the picker (on phones, they're at the bottom of the options). Archived contacts sit in Archived at the bottom of the list, each with Restore.

Delete contact removes them from your contacts and the pickers for good. Pets and entries that named them keep the name, so the history reads the same. Links to vets or clinics are removed.
