Create a Rabies Certificate

Easily generate a rabies certificate with Shepherd. Create a certificate for an existing rabies vaccination from the patient profile, the treatment history, or from within the invoice. The steps for each process are detailed below.

1. Select the ‘Add Rabies Certificate’ button

2. In the Vaccination field, select from the list of vaccinations on the pet's record
