Feeding and medication settings define the dropdown options your staff will see when recording a pet's care needs inside an appointment. You configure these once — in Settings — and your team uses them across every boarding and daycare stay.

  • Go to: Settings > Customers & Pets > Pets > Feeding (or Medication) to manage these options.

  • For each category, click Add to create a new option or Edit / Delete to manage existing ones.

💡 Note: Feeding and Medication settings are only available for the Boarding & Daycare module and can only be configured on the desktop version.

Here, you can customize the following feeding options:
