From written requests to drivers licenses, and long waits for administrative and doctor reviews, getting a hold of your pets records is really no easy task.

It seems harder and harder to get records unless it’s an emergency.  And sometimes even then it can be a wait.

We all know it gets busy, but sometimes the added protocals get in the way.

Having your pets records saves time and money.

No need to repeat vaccines when entering boarding facilities, day care or training.

Request records to have on hand BEFORE you need them.

– Best method…. Request it upon picking up a pet, or at the checkout counter.  Especially if there’s a chance of running into trouble after hours. ☝️

– Same day requests mean records are fresh no need for lengthy reviews.

– You are present for any documents or written requests needed.

– Having medical records onhand for medication refills or information upon sudden, or frequent traveling saves time.

-Snap and store pics.  Have your records ready in a digital file as well as paper in case of emergency.

Stress free travel
