Winnipeg Veterinary Hospital Announces New High Tech Service for Tracking Pet Care


WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Sept. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southglen Veterinary Hospital announced that they are now using Petly to track pet vaccine records, prescriptions, and pet health. Pet owners complete a brief registration process to activate their secure account using their email address. Once the registration process is complete, pet owners can then login at home to view their pet's vaccine records and request prescription refills. The new electronic record keeping system will put a pet's health records at a pet owner's fingertips and reduce the hassle associated with prescription refills or missed vaccinations, says veterinarian Dr. Sra.

Winnipeg veterinarians Dr. Sra, Dr. Tait, Dr. Drain, Dr. Blankvoort and Dr. Capao are leading the charge to make pet care information easily accessible for all pet owners. The veterinarians at Southglen Veterinary Hospital are now offering pet owners access to Petly, an online service that tracks a pet's veterinary records, vaccination history, medications, and more.

"Petly makes pet care easier and more efficient for pet owners," said Dr. Sra. "In addition to tracking health information, Petly also includes helpful appointment reminders, like when a pet is due for a vaccination booster. This makes it easier to stay on top of your pet's health."

Dr. Sra noted that keeping pets up to date on their vaccinations is one area where even the best-intentioned pet owners may fall behind.

The doctor added, "Pet owners may not realize when a pet is due for a vaccination booster or miss the reminder card in the mail; this leaves pets exposed and vulnerable to possible infection. Now with Petly, these appointment reminders are fully automated. And if a pet is running low on medication, pet owners can quickly log in and request a refill. It's easy, streamlined, and truly puts pet care first."

Petly also includes pet care news updates as well as tips and tricks that are customized based on a pet's breed and age.

"Petly is the full package and we are excited to be one of the first animal hospitals in Winnipeg to be offering this service to our clients," said Dr. Tait.

In addition to Petly, the Winnipeg animal hospital offers a number of high-tech services for pet owners, including online appointment scheduling and online forms. The online forms are especially popular with new clients, says Dr. Drain, since it reduces time in the waiting room and allows the forms to be completed in the comfort of a client's home or office.

"We know pet owners are busy, and our goal with these services, including Petly, is to streamline pet care," said Dr. Capao. "With Petly, we're keeping all important information in one, centralized location for easy access at any time."

Southglen Veterinary Hospital offers annual wellness exams, vaccinations, pet surgery, veterinary dental care, and more.
