Household Pet Vaccine Passport

One flat yearly price lets a multi-pet household store vaccine records, get expiry warnings, and hand a kennel-ready vaccination pass to any sitter.

In plain English

What category is this?
Clinics, coaches, and consumers buy for care, fitness, or wellbeing workflows. Here the focus is consumer subscription.
The idea, briefly

Build a boarding-ready passport, not just storage: pick the facility and the app maps each pet's rabies, DHPP and bordetella dates against that facility's window, warns before a shot lapses, and produces a shareable compliance pass (link, QR or PDF) for drop-off. One flat household price covers unlimited pets and unlimited family or sitter seats.

What buyers expect

People comparing tools like Vetify, VetPro Health 360, Pettify expect the basics to work without surprise fees or missing pieces. The loud complaints are: A clinic may hand back only a reminder receipt instead of an actual vaccination record, and a boarding facility will reject it. Scenario: an owner needs records for boarding, the front desk says the records are 'on my receipt', the emailed receipt only shows the next due date, and the facility refuses it. (Source is a search-result snippet that was not directly opened; and owners often cannot produce current records on request and sitters get ghosted. Scenario: a Rover boarder asks for up-to-date vaccination records and owners either ignore the request or send records that are not current. (Source is a search-result snippet that was not directly opened.

Should you build this?

The job is plausibly real, but the strongest pain evidence (clinics handing back only a reminder receipt, sitters getting ghosted, multi-pet scramble) is snippet-only and could not be opened, so it is interpreted rather than documented. A pet parent pays a small yearly fee to stop scrambling for vaccine proof before boarding, daycare, grooming or an emergency vet visit. The category clearly charges money, from $2.99 to $7.99 a month or up to $49.99 a year across Vetify, VetPro, Pettify and PokiPaw, yet free tiers stop at one pet (Vetify, PokiPaw, 11pets) - a real wall for multi-pet households. The opening is narrow and copyable, not guaranteed: a flat household price for unlimited pets and caregiver seats, plus a pass that matches each pet's shots to a specific facility's rules. Critically, Pet Health+ already gives unlimited pets, reminders and a vaccination-summary PDF for free, so the wedge is not price but requirement-matching (facility-specific boarding/daycare rules), which no checked source shows a competitor doing.
