Keep each pet's documents and care notes available to the team preparing for its visit. Identify missing or outdated records early, ask the owner for updated information and let authorised staff review it against your business's current policy. Collar supports the workflow; it does not determine a pet's clinical status.

See which pet records need attention before a service begins. Check the document, relevant dates and the correct pet before marking a requirement as satisfied. A file upload alone should not be treated as approval.

Record care instructions and actions your team is authorised to perform, with a clear handover between shifts. Decisions about medicines and treatment schedules belong with the pet's veterinarian and the owner's consent.

When a required record is missing, explain exactly what the owner should provide and by when. Review reminders after a reschedule or cancellation, and give staff a route to follow up when a document remains unclear.
How it works
Uploading a file does not mean a pet is cleared for care. Staff should see whether a record is missing, still needs checking or has been accepted under the business's rules. Give owners time to ask their vet for missing information.
Collar is built to connect the customer, their individual pets, the service and the order—not just put a time in a calendar. That shared context helps teams follow the work from first booking to payment and the next visit.
Other systems may offer some or all of these tools. The practical difference to check is whether the parts your team needs share the same pet and customer context in your Collar setup.
What to test in a demo: Test a missing document on a multi-night boarding request and identify who makes the final decision.
