The client card that belongs to the pet
Grooming records on United Pet Club live on the pet's own lifetime profile. The coat, the weight history, the notes from every visit and the health details the owner shares are one record that arrives with the pet and outlives any single salon.
What a pet's record holds
Coat and breed facts
Coat type, colors, patterns and markings, plus breed, including mixed breeds with their composition. The basics are right before the first appointment.
Weight, as a history
Each weigh-in joins a chart instead of overwriting a number. A Cocker that gained two kilos since spring is visible at a glance.
Grooming notes per visit
Blade preferences, matting found, how the coat behaved, what to do differently next time. Written once, findable forever.
Handling preferences
The dog that needs breaks, the cat that tolerates exactly one nail per sitting. Handling notes save the next groom before it starts.
Health context, shared by the owner
Allergies, skin conditions, medications and vaccinations can be shared by the owner when they matter for grooming. Private records stay private.
Photos and identifiers
Photos document the coat before and after seasons. The microchip lives on the same profile, registered free for life.
One pet, one page
Coat facts, weight chart and dated notes together, instead of scattered across cards and chats.
Why one profile beats a card file
A card file records your appointments. It knows nothing about the pet's life before your door, and it goes silent the day the client moves. A lifetime profile works differently: the record started when the pet was born, and every groomer, vet visit and home since has added to it.
That direction of ownership changes small things you feel daily. A new client's dog shows up with its breed, coat and weight history already filled in. A regular's profile remembers what you wrote in March. And when a client leaves, the notes you shared keep serving the pet at its next groomer, while your own records stay with your business.
The pet profile page explains the model from the owner's side. From your side it is simpler: less asking, less retyping, fewer surprises on the table.
Access the owner controls
Owners grant access per pet: full for a vet, limited for a groomer or sitter, withdrawable anytime.
Privacy is part of the design
You see what the owner grants, and grants come in levels. A limited grant, the usual one for groomers, shows the pet's essentials and care notes while keeping sensitive medical records hidden. The owner can widen it when a condition matters for your work, and withdraw it when the relationship ends.
Notes have their own honesty rule: once shared, a note cannot be quietly rewritten. Corrections are added as follow-ups, so the record shows what was known and when. Your private working notes stay yours until you choose to share them.
Grooming record questions
Can I replace my paper client cards with this?
Yes, and the replacement is better than a digital copy of the card. Records live on each pet's lifetime profile, so they arrive with new clients and persist after clients move on.
What health information can I see?
Whatever the pet's owner shares with you. A limited grant hides sensitive medical records by default; owners can share allergies, skin conditions or medication details when they affect the groom.
Can I record that a pet is difficult to handle?
Yes, as a handling or behavior note on the profile. Written plainly and factually, it prepares the next visit; there is no public label on the pet.
Who owns the grooming notes I write?
You write them, and you decide which are shared. Shared notes join the pet's record and cannot be silently edited afterwards, which protects both sides if a dispute ever comes up.
What happens when a pet is rehomed?
The profile moves to the new owner with the records that were shared with it. The pet's history stays whole, and your business keeps its own copies.
Does this work outside the United States?
Yes. Profiles, notes and record sharing work worldwide, in more than 70 languages, and the free microchip registration behind them is worldwide too.
