How to Transfer a Pet to Another Owner

If a pet needs to be assigned to a different customer account, you can transfer ownership directly from the pet's profile.

📍Path: Customers & Pets → Select Customer → Open Pet Profile → Three-dot Menu (⋮) → Transfer Pet

When to Use This Feature

Use Transfer Pet when:

  • A pet has been added under the wrong customer.

  • Ownership of the pet has changed.

  • Family members want the pet linked to a different customer account.

  • Duplicate customer records need to be consolidated.

Note: Transferring a pet moves it to a new customer profile—it does not delete the pet or its history.

Prerequisites & Restrictions

Before transferring a pet, keep the following in mind:

  • No Attached Payments: The transfer cannot be completed if there are any payments, paid appointments, or invoices associated with the pet. These must be resolved first.

  • Existing New Owner: The new owner profile must already exist in your customer database before starting the transfer.
