How to: Transfer Ownership to a New Owner

In order to save a new profile, a pet needs to be added during creation. If you need to transfer an existing pet but do not have an owner account for the new owner, you will need to create a new account with a placeholder pet. Once you transfer the existing pet to the new owner, you can delete the placeholder. 

  1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation Menu: Owners & Pets » New Record.

  4. Navigate to the Edit Profile page of the animal that is changing ownership.
