Add a Vet Visit

Veterinarians are an important part of any rescue. They ensure that the animals are healthy, up to date on any vaccinations, and help whenever a health issue arises. Adding a vet visit for an animal is easy with BARRK!

Adding a Vet Visit to an animal's record is easier if you have the Vet information in place first. (To create a vet, please CLICK HERE)

There are two (2) methods to add a vet visit for an animal in your care:

• Click "Vet Visits" above the animal's information screen, and click "Add Vet Visit.
  

1. Enter in the visit information:
   1. Appointment Required check this if this is a reminder or notification to set up a visit.

   3. Vet select from your vet list. (Note: If you have not created the preferred vet, please see TIP above.)

This button allows you to send an email to the animal's caregiver to advise them of the appointment.

• From the Vet Visits main screen, click the "Notify" button which appears at the end of the animal's row.
  
• A screen will appear to indicate the email's information that will be sent. You may add "Additional Comments" in the area for further instructions or appointment details.

• Click the "Ask for Confirmation" to have the email recipient advise you that they saw the appointment details.
• Click "Notify" to send.

If the caregiver's information has changed, such as their email, please "Cancel" the above Notify procedure and update the person's listing by CLICKING HERE.

Once the vet visits are completed, go to the "Vet Visits" main page VET VISITS and click "Edit" on the right of the animal's row. When the visit screen appears, click on the "Completed" box to have the visit checked off on the main screen. Add costs (if not entered above/or changed), and any notes that need to be recorded.
