Introducing Pet Portals!

Pet Portals are private, secure web pages that contain your pet's health information and are available as a free service from North Shore Veterinary Hospital.  You can use your Pet Portal to conveniently manage your pet's health online at any time of night or day.  Use your pet portal to:

	Remind yourself with an e-mail when to give that heartworm medication or apply a flea/tick preventive.  Medication Minders make it easy!
	Request refills off prescriptions and special diets - even when we're not open.
	Request an appointment.
	Print out your pet's vaccination record.  If you ever forget to bring proof of vaccination to your boarding facility, just print out your pets' vaccination record from your Pet Portal.  Many facilities will accept this as proof of vaccination.
	Use PetNotes to easily create and print out pet health care instructions for pet sitters or kennel staff when you are out of town.
	Ask us non-urgent questions or communicate your concerns via Pet Mail - an easy-to-use messaging system available only from your Pet Portal.  Our staff monitors Pet mail each day that we're open for business and will make sure that your questions are answered quickly.

How can I get a Pet Portal?

Just give us your e-mail address and you will receive a password by e-mail.  To get your Pet Portal simply:

	Visit our website and click the Pet Portal login button.  Just follow the instructions you'll find under the "Want a Pet Portal?" header.
	Give us your e-mail address when you visit the hospital.
	Give us your e-mail address when you next speak with us on the telephone.

How do I access my Pet Portal?

Just enter your e-mail address and password in the Pet Portal login box on the home page of www.nsvh.com.  You can bookmark the login page but not your Pet Portal since it is a secure site.

What do you do with my e-mail address? 

We use your e-mail address as your Pet Portal sign-in name.  You have the option of receiving your pet's service reminders by e-mail.  We use e-mail to contact clients about important practice and animal health news, such as information about Lyme Disease.
