IDEXX PetDetect and ezyVet

IDEXX PetDetect is a system that you can use to print temporary identification labels for patients directly from ezyVet. The label dimensions of the PetDetect system use a collar format.

The information that the collar labels identify can include:
  • Patient owner
  • Appointment information (for example, why an appointment was necessary)
  • Demeanor
  • Medications
PetDetect collar labels:
  • Help you to decrease the time necessary for patient check-ins
  • Help you to increase patient safety (for example, because a collar label can clearly give a patient demeanor)
  • Help you to monitor the clinical information of patients

For more information about PetDetect, refer to www.idexx.co.nz/en-nz/veterinary/software-services/practice-solutions/#petdetect.

To use PetDetect with ezyVet:
  1. Install the PetDetect drivers for your device
  2. Make sure that the PetDetect printer operates correctly
  3. Configure ezyVet label templates that have the correct dimensions for PetDetect collar labels
Note: ezyVet does not have a dedicated integration for PetDetect. An integration is not necessary to use PetDetect with ezyVet.
