What is PetCare Planning?

PetCare Plan is the document in which you compile and review your pet's medical records. It also states your wishes for treatment during both regular veterinarian visits and in case of a medical emergency.

'PetCare planning' is the process of putting this information together, regularly uploading applicable files from ALL those involved in your pet's healthcare.

Tutela PetCare encourages ALL pet owners to prepare these vital documents, regardless of your pet's age and stage of health.

Why Should I get a PetCare Plan?

A PetCare Plan has one very important function, it ensures that all your pet's medical records are collected and securely stored in one place.

Every day, vets are faced with having to treat pets without access to their health records. This could be due to an owner being on holiday, a specialist or second opinion is being sought, the pets may be lost or found injured in the street, or most pressingly, in a medical emergency when the primary veterinarian is closed.

Regardless of the scenario, it is either the owners, their friends and family, a dog-walker or kennels host, or perhaps a good Samaritan (if a pet is found injured) that bears the responsibility of communicating vital health information accurately and clearly, which can make all the difference in stressful circumstances.

Why is this Important?
My Primary Veterinarian has this information already.

Yes, your primary veterinarian keeps your pet's health information on file, however YOU do not have 24/7 access to it.

Attempts are always made to contact the primary veterinarian (if known) during business hours to secure your pet's medical history but there is often an unavoidable delay in accessing these vital records. Is that a risk you are willing to take?

This is where Tutela PetCare's digital registry and automation tool comes in. It provides instant access to your pet's PetCare Plan via a shareable QR code. That means that you, your PetCare Substitutes, good Samaritans, veterinarians, and animal care teams ALL have immediate access to your PetCare Plan, enabling optimal treatment to start without delay.
