How aftercare drifts apart across locations
Your clinics may start with the same discharge handout. Then each clinic edits its own copy: a vet changes the rest period, someone rewords the pain medication, a line gets dropped. It only takes a few edits for the same surgery to go home with different instructions, depending on which clinic did it.
Spay discharge instructions at three clinics in the same group, after each clinic has edited its own copy:
Northside:
- Rest: Strict rest for 10 days, leash walks only.
- Pain medication: Meloxicam once a day with food, for 3 days.
- Recheck: Recheck the incision in 10 to 14 days.
- When to call: Call us if the incision opens, swells or oozes.
Downtown:
- Rest: Rest for 14 days.
- Pain medication: Pain medication as directed on the label.
- Recheck: Recheck the incision in 10 to 14 days.
- When to call: Call us if the incision opens, swells or oozes.
Lakeview:
- Rest: Keep her quiet for a couple of weeks.
- Pain medication: Meloxicam once a day with food, for 3 days.
- Recheck: Left out.
- When to call: Call us with any concerns.
When each clinic runs aftercare its own way:
- Owners get a different standard of aftercare depending on which clinic they walk into, and every version has your group’s name on it.
- Every protocol change means emails, reprinted handouts and chasing each clinic to switch over, and some keep sending the old version anyway.
- Vets and techs who cover a shift at another clinic send patients home with a handout they’ve never seen.
- You can’t compare follow-through between clinics. You hear about problems when a recheck goes badly or a client complains.
How Care Connect keeps aftercare consistent
Your clinics share one set of care guides instead of keeping their own copies. Change a guide once, and every clinic sends the new version.
When every clinic sends the same guide:
- Every owner gets the same clear plan, whichever clinic treated their pet.
- A protocol change takes one edit. Every clinic sends the new version from the next patient on, with nothing to reprint or chase.
- Staff can cover a shift at any clinic and send home the guide they already know.
- Each clinic’s contact details, like its phone number, hours and emergency contact, are kept in one place. Change them once, and every guide shows the update, even ones already sent.
The group’s spay recovery guide has its rest period changed and saved, and the guide at Northside, Downtown and Lakeview updates to match.
How groups work in Care Connect
Your group is one organization in Care Connect, with a location for each clinic. The organization holds what every clinic shares. Each clinic keeps what’s local to it, like the phone number on its guides and its own schedule.

Scheduling, intake and exams at every clinic
Run the whole visit in Care Connect, from the booking to the SOAP note. Every clinic works with the same tools, each patient’s record follows them from clinic to clinic.
A schedule for each clinic
Each location has its own calendar and a board for today’s visits, set up with that clinic’s appointment types, hours, staff schedules and rooms. Anyone who works at two clinics uses one login and switches between them.
- Day, week and month views, with recurring appointments
- A board that follows each visit from check-in to discharge
- Time off and blocked hours for each person
- Email reminders before appointments

New clients without duplicates across clinics
Each clinic gets its own online form for new clients, so the paperwork is done before the first visit and nobody retypes it at the front desk.
If the email belongs to a client at another of your clinics, Care Connect says so and links the two records when you merge them. A client who visits two of your clinics has one record.
- Send the form link by email or text, or link to it from each clinic’s website
- Owners add their pets, upload vaccine records and sign your consent form from their phone
- Accept a new client and Care Connect emails them an invite to the free Every Wag app, with their documents already on file

One history for each patient, whichever clinic they visit
Every clinic uses the same structured exam: physical exam by body system, dental chart, body map, vaccines and photos. Care Connect writes the SOAP note from what was recorded, so every clinic’s notes follow the same layout.
A patient’s timeline shows exams, guides and forms from every location in your group.
- Pre-consult answers fill in parts of the exam
- Review and edit the SOAP note before you finalize it
- Each timeline entry shows which clinic it came from

See which clinic needs help, from one screen
Care Connect shows how far owners at each clinic get through their guides, and how many aftercare calls each clinic logs. You can see where to step in without visiting every location or asking each one for a report.
Care guides by location

| Northside | 91% | 64% |

In this example, Lakeview’s owners finish half as many guides as Northside’s, and Lakeview logs many more calls about instructions. All three clinics send the same guide, so you know to look at how Lakeview’s team hands it over at checkout.
