About client registration in the Vello client portal

If a person is not a client of your practice, they can use the Vello client portal to complete client registration.

Note: New client registration is a beta feature and is only available for specified customers. If you want to try the beta feature, contact ezyVet customer support.
After registration, a client has access to the client portal and they can:
  • Make appointments
  • Get access to appointment information
  • Know about medical care for their pets
  • Add pets
  • Change pet photos

Registration information and ezyVet records

A new client's registration information syncs to ezyVet. As a result, it is not necessary for staff to make the applicable records directly in ezyVet.

This table shows the registration information that a new client enters in the client portal, and where the information syncs to in ezyVet:
