Every responsible boarding kennel, doggy daycare, pet-friendly resort, and grooming salon in India requires proof of up-to-date Anti-Rabies and core vaccinations (DHPPi / 7 in 1 for dogs or FVRCP for cats) before admitting your pet. Most pet parents respond by scrolling through their phone gallery, finding a photo of a paper vaccination card or a clinic invoice PDF, and forwarding it to the salon's reception phone on WhatsApp.
What rarely crosses a pet parent's mind at drop-off is what else lives on those forwarded PDFs. A typical veterinary invoice or municipal certificate contains your full legal name, flat number, residential society address, personal mobile number, and consultation spend. Once forwarded on WhatsApp, that file sits permanently on a shared reception phone accessed by rotating staff, with zero way for you to expire or revoke it after your pet comes home.
PetEYE built Records -> Record Access to solve this exact privacy-versus-convenience dilemma: giving groomers, kennels, visiting vets, and apartment RWAs verified access to the exact records they need—and nothing else—for only as long as you choose.
1. Why Static WhatsApp PDFs Fail Both Privacy & Care Quality
- Zero Data Minimization or Revocation: A grooming studio verifying your Shih Tzu's Anti-Rabies booster does not need your home address, adoption deed, or surgical billing history. Conversely, a housing society office checking your municipal license does not need your dog's clinical prescriptions.
- Missing Behavioral Context: A photo of a vaccine sticker tells a groomer or kennel handler nothing about how to handle your pet safely. If your dog has a thunderstorm phobia, dislikes high-velocity blow dryers near their ears, or guards food bowls, forgetting to mention that at drop-off can turn a routine session into a bite incident.
2. The 6 Granular Toggle Switches Inside Record Access
When you open Records -> Record Access and tap + Grant New Access, PetEYE opens the Grant Shared Access modal. Under Select Access Level, you can toggle six independent permission modules on or off:
| Module Toggle Name | Exact UI Subtitle in PetEYE | What the Recipient Sees When Enabled |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Records | Vax, Surgery, Visits & Prescriptions | Verified vaccination timeline (Anti-Rabies, DHPPi, FVRCP), deworming/tick status, clinical visits, surgeries, and lab reports (enabled by default). |
| Pet Licenses | Municipal or breeder registration documents | Official municipal corporation pet license details and registry verification status. |
| Adoption & Transfer Papers | Ownership transfer and adoption certificates | Acquisition provenance, adoption agreements, and legal ownership transfer certificates. |
| Vet Information | Primary vet clinic, doctor details & contact | Your primary veterinarian's name, clinic name, address, and direct emergency contact number. |
| Behavioral Quirks | Fears, triggers, unusual habits & known reactions | Documented handling triggers (nail-clipper anxiety, dryer sensitivity, resource guarding) so handlers adapt their approach. |
| Personality & Traits | Energy level, social behavior, playfulness & temperament | Social compatibility with other dogs/cats, play style, energy level, and temperament notes. |
Smart Default Protection: When you open Grant Shared Access, only Medical Records is selected by default—the other five modules remain unchecked until you explicitly tap them.
3. Which Modules Should You Share? 4 Real-World Scenarios
| Recipient Scenario | Recommended Modules to Enable | Recommended Expiry Date | Why This Combination Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grooming Salon Session | Medical Records + Behavioral Quirks | Tomorrow (+1 Day) | Proves Anti-Rabies status at reception and alerts the groomer to dryer/clipper sensitivities without exposing ownership papers. |
| Weekend Boarding Kennel / Daycare | Medical Records + Vet Information + Behavioral Quirks + Personality & Traits | Check-out Date + 1 Day | Gives boarding staff vaccination proof, playgroup temperament notes, handling triggers, and your primary vet's phone number. |
| Second-Opinion or Emergency Vet | Medical Records + Vet Information | 7 to 14 Days | Lets the consulting vet review prior bloodwork, surgeries, and prescriptions alongside your regular clinic's contact details. |
| Apartment RWA / Society Office | Medical Records + Pet Licenses + Adoption & Transfer Papers | 7 Days | Satisfies municipal registration and vaccination bylaws cleanly without sharing personal behavioral logs. |
4. Step-by-Step Walkthrough: Creating & Sharing a Health Pass
- Open Record Access: Go to your pet's Records tab, tap Record Access, and tap + Grant New Access.
- Fill Recipient & Scope: Enter the Recipient Name (e.g., "Paws & Bubbles Grooming") and 10-digit Recipient Mobile (10 digits), then toggle the exact modules needed under Select Access Level.
- Set the Access Expiry Date: Pick an expiration date (minimum tomorrow, defaulting to 3 months) and tap Grant Permission.
- Share via QR Code, Link, or WhatsApp: On the Permission Granted! screen, let the receptionist or doctor scan the on-screen QR code (
VET CAN SCAN THIS CODE), tap the green WhatsApp button to send the tokenized link (/petinfo/<ID>?token=...) directly to their mobile number, or tap copy.
5. Live View Counters, Editing & Instant 1-Tap Revocation
Every pass you issue remains auditable under the Active Links tab in Record Access:
- Live View Count Badge: A green pill badge with an eye icon shows the exact view count (e.g.,
👁 3) alongside active module tags and expiry date (Exp: 28 Aug), confirming whether the kennel or vet actually reviewed the pass. - Live Edit / Extend (Pencil Icon): If your trip is extended, tap the pencil icon to open Edit Access and toggle modules or extend the Access Expiry Date without changing the link.
- Instant 1-Tap Revoke (Trash Icon): Tap the red trash icon and confirm Revoke in the Revoke Access? dialog to invalidate the shared link immediately and move it to the History tab.
