Health clearances

A health clearance is a test result for one animal: a hip or eye screening, a DNA panel, a heart exam. Record it once with its result, date and certificate, and BreederPro keeps track of whether it is still current.

Health clearances are available on every plan.

Adding a clearance

  1. Open the animal and go to the Health tab.
  2. Choose Health Clearances.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Fill in the form:
    • Test Name (required): for example OFA Hips, CERF Eyes or vWD DNA
    • Result (required): the outcome as the testing body reports it, for example Excellent, Normal/Clear or Carrier
    • Test Date: the date the test was done
    • Expires: the date the clearance runs out, if it does
    • Organization: the testing body, for example OFA, CERF or Embark
    • Certificate #: the certificate or report number
    • Notes: anything else you want to keep with it
  5. Save the clearance.

Status

Each clearance shows a status badge:

Badge Meaning
Current The clearance has no expiry date, or the expiry date is still more than 30 days away
Expiring The expiry date is within the next 30 days
Expired The expiry date has passed

Use the expiry date for tests that need renewing, such as some eye screenings. Leave it empty for permanent results.

Editing and deleting

Use the edit icon on a clearance to change any field, and the delete icon to remove it.

Sharing clearances

Clearances appear on the animal's shareable health profile, so a buyer or a vet can see them without signing in. See Health profile sharing.

Adding clearances from a document

If you have a certificate as a PDF or photo, Smart Import can read the clearances from it and add them for you, after you check them.
