Driyu profile vs vet clinic portal records: overlap and gap

A vet clinic portal holds your pet’s clinical history with one practice. A Driyu profile carries an owner-friendly summary across practices, sitters, and reunion scenarios.

Quick answer: Vet portal: full clinical record at one practice; not portable; not finder-facing. Driyu profile: owner-managed summary fields, portable across vets, sitter-friendly, finder-facing on scan. Most owners want both.

What the vet portal does

Stores full clinical history at one practice. Lab results, surgical reports, medication doses, weight history, ICD codes. Usually accessible to the owner via portal. Not portable to another vet without a records request.

What the Driyu profile does

Owner-managed summary (vaccine dates and types, microchip, allergies, current medications, vet contact). Portable across vets, sitters, and boarders. Finder-facing on the public scan page (with toggles).

Where the gap sits

Vet portal does not travel with you. Driyu profile does not hold the full clinical chart. The owner’s job is to copy the relevant summary from the portal to the profile, especially after a major visit.

How Driyu fits

Driyu is the portable summary layer that travels with the pet. The vet portal is the deep clinical store. Bring the summary to every appointment; let the vet’s portal carry the chart.

Frequently asked questions

Will my vet portal share records with Driyu automatically?

No. The owner brings the summary into the profile after each visit.

Should I link the portal to Driyu?

Driyu does not have a portal-integration feature today. Many owners screenshot or photograph the visit summary and update the profile manually.

Which is more comprehensive?

The vet portal for clinical depth; the Driyu profile for portability and reunion utility.

What if I switch vets?

Request a records transfer from the old vet; bring the Driyu profile to the first new-vet visit.
