Icon Display
If a pet has expired or missing immunization records that are required for their species, their name will display in most places in the app with a red shield icon beneath it. If a pet has required immunization records that will expire within 30 days, their name will display in most places in the app with a yellow shield icon beneath it.
Immunizations that are not required will not trigger yellow or red shield icons.

Making Reservations for Pets with Expired Immunizations


Updating Immunizations
Immunization records for pets can be updated from both the Shield Icons on the dashboard and the Animal's Profile page.

Can I view owner files instead of downloading them?
When you click the Download File button for a file on an Owner's page, your browser may download the file when you really just want to view it. We understand! What happens when you click that "Download File" button will be different depending on four things:
- Your browser (i.e. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.)
- Your operating system (i.e. Windows 7, MacOS, iOS, Android...)
- The settings in your browser and operating system.
- The File Type.
For example, in Chrome for MacOS, with the default settings, PDF and .png files open a new tab, where you can view the file, as well as download it, whereas the browser will just download a .MOV file instead of letting you view it in another tab.
Personalized browser configurations (i.e. pop-up blockers, spam filters, etc.) may cause issues when attempting to view owner files. However, we've built it so that, regardless of your browser, operating system, or file type, you can view the file, provided your settings allow.
