One recording, a note for each pet

You can now record a consult with more than one pet and get a separate note for each. Add the pets’ names to the recording, and VetNotes writes one note per pet.

Tip

Where you can, make a separate recording for each pet. VetNotes has less to sort through, so the notes are more accurate. Use multi-pet when splitting the consult isn’t practical.

Benefits

• A note for each pet. Each note only covers that pet, with its name in the note title.
• No need to stop and start. Keep talking naturally while you move between pets.
• Less tidying up. No more splitting one long note into several by hand.

When to use it

• Vaccinations for two pets. Jenny Smith brings in Tommy and her cat, Luna, for their yearly boosters.
• A litter check. Check a litter of puppies in one go.
• Pets that live together. Two cats from the same house with the same skin problem.

How to use it

1. Open the recording, then click Multi-pet under the recording title.
2. Type a pet’s name and click Add. Do this for each pet, for example “Tommy”, then “Luna”.
3. Click Done. The pets’ names now show next to Multi-pet.
4. Record the consult as normal. Say each pet’s name when you talk about it.
5. When you stop recording, VetNotes writes a note for each pet.

Add the pets before you stop recording. You don’t need to use Multi-pet for a single pet.

Integrations

If your clinic uses a PiMS integration, only the first pet’s note is sent to your PiMS. Put the pet whose record you opened first in the list. Copy the other pets’ notes into their own records.
