Records and appointment system for a veterinary clinic

We are a veterinary clinic with several doctors and a growing base of regular clients. Right now everything lives in paper folders and a couple of shared spreadsheets, which means visit notes get lost, vaccination dates are missed and nobody has a full picture of a pet's history. We want a web application that becomes the single source of truth for patients and appointments.

At the centre are patient cards. Each animal has its own profile linked to an owner: species, breed, age, weight, chronic conditions, allergies and a chronological medical history where a doctor records complaints, diagnosis, prescriptions and follow-up notes for every visit. The appointment side needs a calendar view per doctor, the ability to book, move or cancel a slot, and a clear status for each visit. Doctors should open a card during the appointment and add records without switching between tools.

The third key feature is reminders to owners. The system should automatically notify clients about upcoming vaccinations, repeat treatments and scheduled check-ups, and let the front desk see who has not confirmed. We expect role separation (administrator, doctor, assistant), a responsive interface that works on a tablet in the exam room, and export of a patient's history to a printable document. Data protection matters, since these are personal contacts and health records of animals.
