Sharing Your Pet's Records Made Simple: Why Your Groomer, Sitter, and Vet Need Easy Access
It's Friday afternoon and you're dropping your dog off at the boarding facility for a weekend getaway. The front desk asks for vaccination records, emergency contact information, medication schedules, and your vet's phone number.
You scramble through your phone trying to find that email from the vet. You text your partner asking where the rabies certificate is. You're pretty sure the flea medication schedule is written on a sticky note... somewhere.
Ten minutes later, you're still standing at the counter, apologizing while everyone waits.
There has to be a better way—and there is.
Why So Many People Need Your Pet's Information
Your pet's health and care information isn't just for veterinarians anymore. In today's world, multiple people and businesses need access to your pet's records:
Veterinarians: Your regular vet, emergency clinics, specialists
Boarding facilities: Kennels, doggy daycares, overnight care
Groomers: Need to know about skin conditions, medications, behavioral notes
Pet sitters: In-home care providers need emergency contacts and care instructions
Dog walkers: Should know about health issues, behavioral quirks, emergency protocols
Family and friends: Anyone who might need to care for your pet in an emergency
Travel accommodations: Pet-friendly hotels, airlines, rental properties
Each one requires proof of vaccinations, health history, and emergency information. And if you're like most pet parents, that information is scattered across paper files, emails, photos, and memory.
The Old Way: Paper, Faxes, and Frustration
Let's be honest about how pet record sharing typically works:
You request records from your vet (wait 24-48 hours)
They email or fax them to you (or you pick up paper copies)
You forward the email or make photocopies
You physically deliver or email them to whoever needs them
Repeat this process for every new groomer, sitter, boarding facility, or vet
And heaven forbid you need to update something—now you're starting the whole process over again.
The New Way: Instant, Secure Digital Sharing
Imagine this instead:
You're dropping your dog off at the groomer. They ask for health records. You open CanopyVet on your phone, tap "Share," and within seconds the groomer has access to everything they need: vaccination records, medication lists, behavioral notes, emergency contacts, and your vet's information.
No scrambling. No waiting. No stress.
That's exactly how CanopyVet's instant sharing feature works.
Who Benefits from Easy Record Sharing?
