Hi,

I searched and only found one older discussion about this...does anyone use Petstablished? What are pros and cons?

We currently use Pawlytics but the medical component has limitations and Petstablished looks like it will do what we want it to. 

Thanks for any insight.

We use Petstablished. I am not familiar with Pawlytics, but if there are specific things you want to do with it, I can let you know our experience.

Thanks, Melissa.

Just curious if it is easy to navigate. We like Pawlytics but there is no way to easily print just medical history or send it to adopters. 

It is also not easy to set one reminder for multiple pets, like if a group of dogs are all due for a DAHPP, you have to enter it on each one separately (which is ok) but you get separate reminders instead of just one reminder list for a specific day. 

Also, how easy is it to navigate between pets? For example, if you are in your list of pets and click on one to enter info, will it go back to where you left off in the list? In Pawlytics if I am entering information for "Sadie" and go back to pets, it takes me right back to page 1.  Sometimes I am going through the list one by one just to make sure nothing is missing and it always takes me back to page 1.

I hope that makes sense. We are just looking for a better option for us now that we are growing. Thanks!

You can export everything as a PDF with one click of a button -- that part is super easy for us!

I believe Petstablished also would require reminders for each pet. It will copy profiles for litters of pups, etc. but there isn't a way (that I know of) to set "bulk" reminders.

It seems daily easy to navigate the pets.  It opens a new browser window when you click on the medical records and leaves a browser window open with the pet's profile information so you can toggle between both. It is easy to get fro the profile back to the list of all the pets (navigation on side and top of website). The navigation menu on the left is always available, regardless of what age you are looking at.

Hi Enger,

I've looked at most of the platforms in this space pretty closely, including Pawlytics, Petstablished, and FurballRescue. They all solve the single-org management problem to different degrees. The medical workflow gaps you're describing (printing histories, batch reminders, navigating between records without losing your place) are common across the category.

We built the AWRN (Animal Welfare Resource Network) to handle rescue and shelter operations, but also to connect partner organizations into a shared network so data moves between orgs instead of starting over every time an animal transfers. Medical records, foster histories, and vaccination schedules travel with the animal.

Still early and onboarding partners now. Happy to show you a demo if you want to see how it handles the medical side. No pressure either way, but wanted to make sure you knew there are options beyond the usual single-org tools.

Hi Enger,

What specifically are you running into on the Pawlytics medical side? Protocol scheduling, vaccine status tracking, heartworm/spay-neuter derivation? Knowing the actual gap usually narrows the field a lot - and it's useful context for the rest of us building in this space.

Full disclosure: I'm with FurballRescue (furballrescue.com) - a newer foster-rescue platform we built with the medical workflow as a focus area: protocol templates that auto-generate scheduled events, status derived from event history, species-specific vaccines (DHLPP for dogs, FVRCP for cats, etc.). You can try the demo at demo.furballrescue.com- click Log In, then "Create an account" and you'll come in as an admin so you can poke at everything. Easiest way to tell if it's even worth a longer conversation.

We're still early enough that we're bringing on a small group of founding members on very favorable (and permanent) terms - the discount is real, but what we actually need is honest feedback from rescues using it day to day. There's still some room to push the design, and we'd rather that shaping come from people who'll actually live in it. Worth a private chat if that trade sounds interesting. Otherwise, no pressure, and happy to answer specifics about how we handle anything Pawlytics is missing.

Hey! I'm with Shelterluv, and I recommend looking into our platform as well. Shelterluv is the most popular system in the market, and for good reason! Our customers say we're the easiest to use. 

• You can print or email just the medical history 
• At the end of an adoption, all relevant resources will pop up for you to email or print (including medical, the digitally signed contract/disclaimers, and any other adoption materials you like to share.)
• You can schedule and complete medical items for multiple animals at once with our "edit multiple" feature
• There's a "Task Manager" that helps you stay on top of what medical is due for your animals in custody

We'd be happy to do a demo or answer any questions! Please feel free to reach out to info@shelterluv.com.

I would encourage you to check us out over at AnimalsFirst as well! Our medical templates are customizable and we send reminders for items that are due, past due, or coming due soon (or all of the above). We also have an adopter portal so that your adopters can see their animal's information if they lose their email or printed copies.
