Vet Portal

Working with referring vets — consent, referrals and the portal vets log in to.

What the vet portal is

What the vet portal does, what vet practices can see, and how consent, referrals and practices that work with several businesses fit together.

Turning on the vet portal

Switching the vet portal on or off, choosing the treatments vets can authorise, the vet declaration, and sharing weights with vets.

Adding a vet practice and inviting it

Adding a vet practice, what its invitation email says, logins shared with other businesses, and inviting a practice added earlier.

Linking an animal to its vet

Setting an animal's vet practice so the practice can see it, moving it to another practice, and adding a practice an owner named in the customer portal.

Tracking vet consent

Where consent shows on animals and bookings, accepting consent a vet sends through the portal, paper referral forms, and checking consent across all animals.

When a vet refers a new customer

Finding a new client referral from a vet, checking and correcting it, converting it into a customer and animal, and booking the first visit.

Removing or restoring a vet's access

Revoking a vet practice's access to the vet portal and giving it back, deleting a practice, and turning off access for every practice at once.

Sending a vet a treatment report

Making a PDF report of one appointment for the animal's vet, or one PDF covering several, and what the report includes.

Emailing all your vet practices

Sending one email to every vet practice with a vet portal login, who receives it, and how it differs from emailing customers.

For vets: setting up your login

For vet practices: the invitation email, choosing a password, and what to do if the invitation has expired or the password is forgotten.

For vets: logging in and switching business

For vet practices: logging in, choosing between businesses that have invited you, switching between them, and updating your practice details.

For vets: finding an animal and its records

For vet practices: the dashboard, searching and filtering animals, consent statuses, and what an animal's record shows.

For vets: giving consent for treatment

For vet practices: giving consent online for an animal the business already has, the declaration and electronic signature, and what happens next.

For vets: referring a new client

For vet practices: referring an owner and animal the business has never seen, what the form asks for, and what happens after you send it.
