A digital puppy go-home packet is a shareable claim link generated from your pup's Voocie health record — it contains every vet exam note, vaccine date, deworming entry, weight check, and family tree link the new owner needs to continue care without starting from scratch. When the new owner opens the link and claims the record, it transfers to their account and their new vet can access it from the first visit.
The difference between a paper folder and a Voocie go-home packet is permanence: paper gets wet, faded, or lost in a move; a Voocie record lives with the pet for life and is accessible from any device.
- A digital go-home packet is a claim link — the new owner opens it, creates a free account, and the pup's complete health record transfers to them.
- It includes vet exam notes, vaccine series, dewormings, weight checks, microchip number, and the family tree linking back to the dam's record.
- The new owner gives their vet the pup's private Voocie address and records continue filing automatically — the health story never starts over.
What does a puppy go-home packet contain?
A Voocie go-home packet includes everything a new owner's vet needs to see on the first visit — and everything the new owner needs to understand their pup's early health history:
- Vet exam notes: every pre-placement exam your vet performed, dated and attributed to the clinic that sent them. The new vet sees a real clinical record, not a breeder's hand-typed summary.
- Vaccine series: each vaccine administered, the date, the product name, the lot number, and the administering clinic. The new vet knows exactly where the pup is in their series and when boosters are due.
- Deworming schedule: product name, dosage, and dates — the full deworming history from first treatment through the last dose before pickup.
- Weight checks: the pup's weight at each vet visit, creating a growth record the new vet can reference when assessing development.
- Microchip number: logged in the record so the new owner can transfer registration without hunting for a separate document.
- Genetic testing documents: any health clearances or panel results attached to the pup's record or linked from the dam's family tree.
- Family tree: a link to the dam's Voocie record showing her health history, pre-breeding exam, and any sire information you've added. The new owner can see that real clinical records back the family history.
How is a digital go-home packet better than a paper folder?
Paper folders are the industry default for one reason: they require no setup. But the trade-offs are significant. A new owner who moves to a new city, switches vets, or has an emergency at 2 a.m. has to locate the folder, find the right page, and hope nothing was missed during the original hand-off.
A Voocie record is different in three ways:
- It's always accessible. The new owner opens the app or any browser. No folder to find, no pages to scan.
- It continues growing. Every future vet visit files into the same record. The go-home packet isn't a snapshot — it's the beginning of a lifetime health story.
- It's verifiable. Records entered by the vet clinic carry the clinic's identity. A buyer can see that a vaccine record came from an actual veterinary practice, not from a typed summary.
For breeders, the practical benefit is speed. Instead of assembling a folder for every pup — photocopying, printing, collating — you generate a claim link and text it to the buyer. Done in under a minute per pup.
How does the breeder generate a claim link?
In your Voocie breeder account, open the pup's individual record and select "Generate go-home link." Voocie creates a one-time claim link tied to that pup's record. You send the link to the buyer before or at pickup — by text, email, or any messaging app.
The link is valid until the buyer claims it. Once claimed, the record moves to the buyer's account. Your breeder account retains a read-only copy for your own program records.
What does the new owner do when they receive the claim link?
- Open the link on their phone or computer.
- Create a free Voocie account (or log in if they already have one).
- Claim the pup's record — it now lives in their account.
- Give their new vet the pup's private
@pets.voocie.comaddress. From that first visit forward, the vet CCs that address on visit summaries and records file automatically.
The new owner doesn't need to transcribe anything, scan anything, or rebuild a health history from scratch. They start where you left off. Talk to your vet about the best way to introduce Voocie at the first puppy appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Does the new owner need to pay for Voocie to claim the record?
Claiming a record is free. Voocie is $99/year (about $10/month) for a full account, which gives the new owner access to the complete health record, the pup's private email address, emergency card, and ongoing auto-filing from their vet. They're not required to upgrade immediately to view the go-home packet.
What happens if the buyer loses the claim link?
You can generate a new claim link from the pup's record in your breeder account. The old link is invalidated when a new one is issued.
Can I add my own notes to the pup's record before generating the link?
Yes. You can add feeding notes, temperament observations, socialization milestones, and any other breeder notes before generating the claim link. These transfer to the new owner along with the clinical records.
Does the family tree include the sire's records too?
Yes, if the sire has a Voocie record. You can link the sire's record when creating the litter, and his health history becomes part of every pup's family tree. If the sire doesn't have a Voocie record, you can attach any available health clearance documents manually.
What if the new owner's vet has never heard of Voocie?
The vet doesn't need to know Voocie by name. The pup's private address is a standard email address. The vet CCs it on any visit summary, the same way they'd CC a client's own email. Records file without any integration or setup on the vet's end.
