Electronic Patient Dossier for Dogs and Cats
Pet owners can now record their pet's vaccinations or X-rays in a database. The digital health booklet was launched by PHD AG, a public limited company owned by the Swiss Association for Small Animal Medicine (SVK).
As a digital health dossier, the PHBooklet enables pet owners to manage their pet's health data online and access it from anywhere.
What does the PHBooklet offer?
These can include, for example, vaccinations and treatments for parasite prophylaxis, but also medical assessments such as hip dysplasia in dogs. Medical history, laboratory findings, or the pedigree certificate can also be recorded in the electronic patient booklet. The PHBooklet can be unlocked by pet owners for veterinary practices of their choice or for other persons, such as holiday carers for dogs or cats. Responsible care of pets starts with preventive healthcare.
Who is behind the PHBooklet?
The PHBooklet is operated by PHD AG, which is wholly owned by the Swiss Association for Small Animal Medicine as its sole shareholder.
The SVK is a specialist section of the Society of Swiss Veterinarians (GST). Registration in the PHBooklet is subject to a fee for pet owners; the charge is 25 francs per year. Animal protection in Switzerland also encompasses adequate medical care for pets.

The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
