How to configure vaccination requirements
Most of the awkward conversations about vaccinations happen at the door. Recording requirements and expiry dates moves that conversation to a week earlier, where it costs nobody anything.
What you end up with: Requirements enforced quietly, before arrival day.
Steps
Decide what you require
List the vaccinations your insurer and your own policy require for each kind of care.
Record them on the pet
Add type and expiry date to each pet record.
Attach proof where you have it
Upload the document to the pet's record so it's findable later.
Use the expiry warnings
JAP flags records that are lapsing, so you can ask before the next booking.
Agree the door policy with your team
Everyone should give the same answer when a record is missing.
Recommended setup
- Ask for updated proof at booking, not at drop-off.
- Keep the same requirement list across care types unless your policy genuinely differs.
Tips
- Requirements can block a booking being confirmed, which is kinder than turning a pet away on the day.
