For veterinary teams
How MaxVets helps you
MaxVets brings the owner-logged record from the MaxPet app into your consult room. You start each appointment with a structured, longitudinal history instead of relying on owner recall — and you keep clinical judgement exactly where it belongs. Everything here is decision support. Nothing here diagnoses.
A wellness and history tool for owners and their care teams. It does not replace a veterinary examination.
Step one
See the patient's longitudinal record
When an owner adds your clinic to a pet's care team, you get access to the history they have been building day to day — dated, structured and ready to review before the animal is on the table.
Weight and body trend
Follow weight, body condition and morphometric estimates over time, rather than a single figure quoted from memory.
Diet and intake
Current food and its energy density, logged meals and water, and diet changes — useful context for the whole consult.
Dated symptoms with severity
Symptoms logged with a severity and whether they have resolved, so you see the actual timeline.
Medication adherence
Per-dose logging shows whether doses were actually given, not just what was prescribed.
Activity, sleep and behaviour
Owner-logged activity minutes, sleep and a daily mood rating to round out the picture between visits.
Records and conditions
Clinical records — vet letters, lab results and photos — alongside toilet events, appointments and diagnosed conditions.
- A structured, owner-logged history to open the consult, instead of relying on recall.
- A shareable, exportable summary — weight, medications, conditions and clinical history — that the owner controls and can cut time spent gathering history.
- Visibility of whether medication doses were actually given.
Step two
Objective body-condition and feeding figures
For weight-management and feeding-plan conversations, MaxPet provides objective numbers you can talk through with the owner — derived from validated, peer-reviewed methods rather than eyeballing.
Body-fat from morphometrics
Canine body-fat percentage is estimated from the peer-reviewed Witzel et al. (2014) morphometric equations, using a few owner-taken tape measurements — chest and pelvic circumference, head circumference and hind-limb length — plus age. From that it derives an ideal (lean) body weight.
Calorie target and grams to feed
FEDIAF / NRC Maintenance Energy Requirement factors turn ideal weight into a personalised daily calorie target, then divide by the current food's energy density to give grams-to-feed.
Food energy from the label
Each food's energy density (kcal per gram) is entered by the owner from the manufacturer's own label. MaxPet tracks the day's intake against the computed allowance so over- or under-feeding is visible — no re-derived figures, no shared food database.
A bounded wellness score
A 0–100 Health Score gives an at-a-glance wellness composite across six weighted domains. It is a wellness indicator, explicitly not a diagnosis, and missing data lowers its confidence rather than the score.

UK locations with daily environmental data
The Health Score is structured like the American Heart Association's "Life's Essential 8", weighted across body condition (30), activity (15), nutrition (15), digestion (15), symptoms (15) and preventive care (10). It is always shown with a note that it does not replace a veterinary examination. See the full method →
Step three
Trend signals worth investigating
"See Trends" surfaces possible associations between what the owner logs and the pet's environment, diet and medications — hypothesis-generating context for you to investigate, never a cause.
How it is calculated
Tie-corrected Spearman rank correlations between logged metrics — behaviour and mood, sleep, activity, food, water, toilet counts, symptoms, weight and medication doses — and environmental factors, diet changes and medications.
Statistical association Not causation
Built to reduce false signals
It scans a 0–3 day lag to catch delayed reactions (pollen today, symptoms tomorrow), requires roughly 10 aligned days as a minimum, and applies Benjamini–Hochberg false-discovery-rate correction across all pairs.
Environmental inputs
Grass, tree and weed pollen, air quality including PM2.5 and PM10, temperature, humidity and rainfall — plus diet changes and medications.
Nationwide coverage
Licensed WeatherAPI.com data covering roughly 43,700 UK settlements, snapshotted daily, with each pet mapped to its nearest place.
Step four
Appointments and new-client invitations
From the clinic dashboard you can keep appointments and access flowing both ways — for pets you already care for, and for owners joining you for the first time.
Send appointments to your patients
For any pet whose care team your clinic is on, send a typed appointment (vet, surgery or other) straight into the owner's app so it appears in their record.
Invite a new client and propose a booking
Invite an owner by email to connect their pet to your practice, and propose their first appointment as part of the same invitation.
Step five
Manage your practice team
Bring your colleagues in so the whole team works from the same record.
- The clinic owner or a manager can invite vets and staff to the practice by email.
- An invited colleague joins your clinic automatically when they create their MaxVets account.
- Owners control who is on a pet's care team — family, sitters and vets — so access always reflects consent.
Bring the owner-logged record into your consult room
Start each appointment with a structured history, objective body-condition figures and trend signals to investigate — all as decision support, with clinical judgement kept firmly with you.
MaxVets supports your assessment. It does not diagnose, and it does not replace a veterinary examination.
