You authorize attending veterinarians to record and store your pet's vaccination records, treatment histories, prescriptions, and diagnostic lab reports on MediNest. You can inspect or export these records anytime from your Pet Owner Portal.
6 Fees & Payments
Creating pet profiles is free for pet owners. Consultation, medication, and clinical service fees are set directly by individual veterinary clinics. Any online payments are processed securely through certified payment gateways.
7 Emergency Medical Notice
For acute, life-threatening pet emergencies (severe trauma, poisoning, respiratory failure), do not wait for an online appointment. Transport your pet immediately to the nearest 24/7 veterinary emergency hospital.
8 Limitation of Liability
MediNest is not liable for medical outcomes or independent actions of participating clinics, nor for unforeseen telecommunications disruptions beyond our direct control.
