About

NectarVet

Read full description

NectarVet is for pet owners whose veterinary practice uses Nectar. Sign in with the mobile number your practice has on file — the app finds your hospital from it — and everything they have shared with you is in one place. • Appointments — see upcoming and past visits, and request a new appointment for the date, time and reason that suit you. • Prescriptions — current medications, with refill requests sent straight to the practice. • Records — visit notes, surgery notes and lab results, with PDF downloads you can save or share. • Vaccines — every vaccination and when it is next due, plus a vaccine summary you can print. • Pets and family — keep your pets' details and household contacts up to date. • Reminders — what is due next, so nothing slips. Signing in requires a client account at a veterinary practice that uses Nectar. Your practice creates the account; the app does not offer sign-up. There are no ads, purchases or subscriptions.
