Logging In:

Clients can download the free mobile app by searching for "Gingr for Pet Parents" in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. In order to access the customer portal for your facility using the app, you will need to obtain a unique invite code from the business. If you are unsure of the invite code for your facility, please contact them directly to request this information.

Once you have downloaded the Gingr for Pet Parents app from the Apple App or Google Play store, you will need to enter the invite code provided by your facility and then tap Continue. If you are a client with access to the customer portal at more than one pet-care facility, you will have the ability to use the mobile app for each one as long as you have the unique invite code from each business.

After the invite code has been entered successfully, you will be immediately taken to the portal's login page where you can sign in using the email address or phone number that you have on file with the facility. If you do not already have a customer portal account, you can create one from this page by choosing the "Sign Up" button.

On subsequent uses of the app, you will tap on the name of your facility and then enter your login credentials. If you have provided an invite code for more than one facility, you will see each one listed and you can choose the applicable one as needed.

How to: Navigate the Notifications Center 

The Notification Center tells you important information at a quick glance from your Customer Portal home screen. Information here can include things such as if you or your pet's profile is missing information, missing vaccines, and uncompleted Gingr PreCheck forms. The Notification Center will also give you quick access to Gingr PreCheck forms that were already filled out but may need to be modified prior to arrival. You can also select the "I'M HERE" button on the form upon arrival at a facility. 

You can click on notifications in the Notification Center and this will bring you to the associated page. Once all information is filled out that is associated with the notification, it will disappear from the Notification Center. Once your pet is checked into a facility, the Gingr PreCheck form notification will also disappear from the Notification Center. 

How to: Request Account Deletion

Customers are able to initiate account deletions to be completed by the facility by logging into the portal and navigating to Account » Manage Profiles. They can click the "Delete My Account" button to confirm the request. The facility will receive an alert to proceed with deletion where possible. 

Please note that owner accounts that have ever had reservation or invoice history cannot be fully deleted and may need to be disabled instead. 

Here is a recording of this process:

How to: Fill Out the Gingr PreCheck Form From the Portal

Step 1: Log in to Customer Portal. You can do this by clicking the link from the Gingr PreCheck email or SMS message sent by the facility, logging into the Pet Parent Mobile App, or by logging in through a browser. If you choose to log in to the portal via the Pet Parent Mobile App or through a browser, click on the Gingr PreCheck form notification from the Customer Portal Notification Center on the dashboard. If you clicked the link directly from the Gingr PreCheck email or SMS message sent from the facility, this will direct you straight to the associated Gingr PreCheck form.

Step 2: Click the "Start Gingr PreCheck" button.

Step 3: Fill out all required information. The Gingr PreCheck form is split into sections for owner information, the pet's information, and the booking information.

Step 4: Once all of the Gingr PreCheck information is filled out, you will receive a green success message and the page will give you check-in instructions. When you arrive at the facility on your scheduled start date, click the "I'M HERE" button at the bottom of the last page of the Gingr PreCheck form. This will notify the facility of your arrival.

Helpful Hints:

What should I do if my pet parent receives the message "Some error happened. Please contact the facility for assistance." and cannot log in?

If a pet parent experiences this error, their owner account has been disabled for log in. To enable, visit their owner form and change the setting 'Allow online login' = yes
