If you are looking for a way to streamline your vet paperwork, there is an online resource you may find very helpful. GlobalVetLink, the nation's premier electronic provider of animal health documentation, continually updates and improves its system and database to lessen the burden of paperwork on veterinarians. GlobalVetLink has provided electronic health documents, such as health certificates, Coggins certificates and GoPass equine passports for more than 150 million animals.
GlobalVetLink's electronic document system increases efficiency of veterinary paperwork. Documents are electronically available to state animal health authorities of both the state of origin and destination for health certificates and the state of origin for Coggins certificates. Not only do the state animal health officials receive these certificates electronically, but the option to make them available through a secure, online site to the owners is also possible. Owners are granted access to MyVetLink.com at the issuing veterinarian's discretion, where they can print electronically signed, pdf copies of their Coggins and health certificates.
All of the documents generated within the secure GlobalVetLink database have been approved to move animals into all 50 states, as well as three U.S. territories. The web-based GlobalVetLink system does not require any downloads or software and can be accessed from any computer connected to the internet. Information needs to be uploaded only once and can be used again and again. The GVL database is an easy way to store information and create health documents.
Another reason why GlobalVetLink's certificates are superior to hand-written is the quality of digital photos. Using digital photos on Coggins certificates eliminates the need for hand-drawn markings. In addition, the digital photos are stored in the database and new photos are only needed if the horse's appearance changes.
There are several certificates available from GlobalVetLink specifically for equine vets, such as Coggins, health certificates and passports. For vets treating swine, GVL offers electronic VFDs, health certificates and veterinary prescription certificates. GlobalVetLink offers health certificates for many other species, including canine and feline, as well as avian, bovine, caprine, cervid, ovine and poultry.
