Updating a pet

Pets change over time — new quirks, health updates, or just a better glam shot. The Edit Pet page lets you keep their profile accurate and up to date.

Step-by-step​

  1. Open the pet From the Clients & Pets → Pets list (or via a client profile), click the pet’s name, then hit Edit.

  2. Update the basics

    • Change their Name, Breed(s), Sex, Age, or Weight.
    • Update the linked Client if ownership has changed.
    • Replace or remove their profile photo.

  3. Adjust health & medical info

    • Edit Temperament (e.g. calm → nervous).
    • Update Allergies and Medical Conditions as needed.

  4. Refresh grooming & vet info

    • Set a new Last Groomed date.
    • Update their Microchip Number.
    • Change vet details if they’ve switched practices.

  5. Update pet notes Keep quirks and reminders fresh — e.g.

    • “Now tolerates the dryer”
    • “Needs harness for walks to the salon”

  6. Check booking history At the bottom, you’ll see their Booking History:

    • Dates
    • Status (Completed, Cancelled, etc.)
    • Groomer
    • Notes recorded at the time

    This gives you quick context before the next appointment.

  7. Save Click Update Pet to save changes and return to the Pets list.

Header actions​

  • New Booking – create an appointment for this pet directly from their profile.
  • Delete Pet – removes the pet from Barkway. (Careful — this cannot be undone.)

Pro tips​

  • Keep Last Groomed dates current — they power recall reminders and reports.
  • Use Booking Notes for one-off session info; keep recurring quirks in Pet Notes so they carry forward.
  • Delete pets only if they’re genuinely no longer needed — history is lost when you remove them.

🐾 With the Edit Pet screen, Barkway makes sure every furry friend’s profile stays accurate, useful, and ready for their next groom.
