MoeGo lets you record a pet's feeding and medication needs directly inside a boarding or daycare appointment.

Your staff can track care tasks, record outcomes, and leave notes — all without leaving the appointment.

This article covers how to use feeding and medication within an appointment.

To configure the available dropdown options first, see how to set up Pet Feeding & Medication 👈

Add feeding & medication to a new appointment

When creating a new Boarding or Daycare appointment, you can:

  • Set up feeding instructions directly within the service details

  • Select “Needs Medication” to add medication dates and instructions

When creating a new boarding or daycare appointment:

  1. Fill in service details as usual — client, pet, dates, service type.

  2. Set up feeding: Enter feeding instructions directly in the feeding section within the appointment form.

  3. Add medication if needed: Toggle on Needs Medication to enter a medication schedule and instructions.

Edit feeding & medication on an existing appointment

  1. Open the appointment.

  2. Navigate to the Feeding & Medication section.

  3. Edit feeding or medication schedules as needed.

From here, you can:

  • Assign feeding and medication tasks to specific staff members

  • Record feeding and medication outcomes using feedback selections

  • Add additional internal notes for the care team

Record care outcomes during the stay

Once a pet is checked in, your staff can use the feeding and medication section to document what happened at each scheduled time.

Record feeding or medication feedback: Select the appropriate feedback option from the dropdown — for example, "Ate all (100%)" or "Took full dose on time."

Leave care notes: Add internal notes next to the feedback dropdown for anything that needs further context — for example, "Pet was nervous, fed in separate area."

Assign tasks to staff: Assign each feeding or medication task to a specific staff member so responsibility is clear.

For more details on assigning and managing staff tasks, please refer to the Staff Task Management guide here.

Set feeding & medication in a pet's client profile

You can also store default feeding and medication schedules directly on a pet's profile so they pre-populate whenever that pet is booked.

Navigate to: Client Profile > Pet section > Feeding or Medication
