Changes to clinical summaries in ezyVet version 40.4
Versions of ezyVet after version 40.4 include microchip information in the Patient Details section of clinical summaries. The information makes sure that you can give documents to clients to obey regulations of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) of the United States.
Since August 1, 2024, the CDC makes it mandatory for each dog who enters the United
States to have:
- A microchip
- Documentation of their microchip number
Note: Versions of ezyVet also automatically include the patient color in
the clinical summary. The CDC does not make it mandatory to include the patient
color in the necessary documents to take a dog into the United States. But patient
color information helps make sure that clinical summaries agree with other documents
that clients send to the CDC (for example, a patient photo).
Note: If a client takes a dog into the United States, they must
complete all of the forms that the CDC makes mandatory. An ezyVet clinical summary is not sufficient to obey the
regulations. If a client has questions about what they must do to obey the
regulations, tell them to refer to the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/importation/dogs/
