Your vaccine spreadsheet is read once, for the whole kennel: Dogs › Import on the website, the “⋯” menu of Dogs on the phone.
What it does
- Reads an xlsx or csv spreadsheet (2 MB), all its sheets, with no template to follow.
- Finds each dog in your kennel: by microchip, otherwise by name.
- Asks what unclear columns mean (“R”: Rabies?). One choice applies to all dogs.
- Shows each dog, its ticked vaccines and dates; what is already entered is unticked.
- “Save N dogs · M vaccines” writes it all at once. Owners, handlers and vets.
What others see
- The vaccines go into each dog's health record, as if entered by hand.
- The file is never kept: read, then forgotten.
What it doesn't do
- It creates no dog: that is “Import a roster”.
- It imports vaccines only, and only from a spreadsheet.
- It doesn't guess: an unclear dog, an ambiguous letter or a truncated year (“21/09/206”) are flagged to you.
- Nothing is written while a dog or a column is still unresolved.
The choice
- One reading for every file rather than one format per federation: each has its own. The review guarantees the result.
- A slower, dearer reading: the quick one sometimes copied a date onto the next vaccine, and the booster fell on the wrong day.
