A Patient Encounter in PetChart
Walk through a complete patient visit — from arrival to checkout — and see how PetChart keeps you in flow.
Patient Arrives
Tech pulls up the patient chart instantly. Fast chart access matters on every visit because history, vaccination status, and alerts need to be available before the exam starts.
Instant chart access from any deviceVitals & Intake
Weight, temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and BCS are entered directly. Veterinary consultations frequently exceed their scheduled time slots, so structured intake saves critical time.
Structured data entry reduces documentation driftClinical Examination
The DVM examines the patient while the AI scribe captures encounter context. With the majority of veterinarians reporting burnout symptoms (Merck Animal Health Wellbeing Study, 2024), reducing after-hours charting is essential.
AI reduces after-hours documentation burdenSOAP Note Generation
With one click, the AI scribe generates a complete SOAP note — subjective history, objective findings, assessment with differentials, and a treatment plan. The vet reviews, adjusts, and finalizes during the visit rather than after hours.
Chart during the visit, not afterOrders & Prescriptions
Prescriptions include drug database lookups, weight-based dosing, and interaction checks. Transparent treatment plans help clients understand next steps before they leave the visit.
Built-in drug database with safety checksClient Summary & Checkout
An AI-generated client-friendly summary is sent to the portal so estimates, invoices, and follow-up booking can happen in the same digital workflow.

AI Clinical Scribe — Your Documentation Co-Pilot
PetChart's AI scribe isn't a generic transcription tool — it's trained on veterinary clinical workflows. It understands the difference between a canine wellness exam and a feline dental workup, and generates appropriately structured notes for each.
Security & Compliance
Patient data security isn't optional. Here's how PetChart protects every record.
AES-256 Encryption
All patient data encrypted at rest and in transit (TLS 1.3). Industry standard for healthcare data protection.
Row-Level Security
Database-level access controls ensure users only see authorized records. Each query is scoped to the authenticated user's permissions.
Comprehensive Audit Trails
Every record view, edit, and deletion is logged with user, timestamp, and IP — required for compliance and malpractice defense.
Role-Based Access Control
Granular permissions for DVMs, techs, front desk, and practice managers. Critical for multi-provider practices.
Automatic Backups
Continuous cloud backups with point-in-time recovery. Unlike on-premise servers, no local IT management required.
Cloud-Native Architecture
Cloud delivery makes updates, backups, and remote access easier to manage than clinic-owned server infrastructure.
Switching EHRs? We Make It Painless.
PetChart's guided migration tool imports patient records, medical history, vaccination data, and client information from CSV exports or supported legacy systems.
