Allergies & intolerances

The thing that must never be missed.

Food, medication and environmental allergies โ€” each with the reaction and how bad it gets โ€” sitting where a carer, a sitter or an emergency vet will actually see them.

  • Food, medication and environmental allergies
  • The reaction it causes, in your words
  • A mild or severe rating on each one
  • Severe allergies flagged in red
  • Positioned directly under the digital passport
  • Printed prominently on the vet health summary

Why placement matters

Buried information isn't information.

An allergy recorded four screens deep is a fact nobody reads at the moment it matters. So allergies are not a page you navigate to โ€” they are the first thing under the passport, on the screen everyone opens.

The out-of-hours vet

A practice that has never met your dog, at 2am. One PDF, allergies at the top.

๐Ÿ 

The sitter with the treat jar

They meant well. The ๐Ÿšซ and the red "severe" tag are what stops it.

๐Ÿ’Š

The medication reaction

A drug allergy is the one nobody thinks to write down, and the one a locum most needs to know.

Allergies and food, together

Two places, one message.

The allergy record is the warning; the ๐Ÿšซ flag in the food library is that warning where the feeding actually happens. Record the allergy properly, then flag the specific foods it rules out, and the person filling the bowl sees it without needing to know the clinical detail.

CorePaw doesn't work out what they're allergic to.

Identifying an allergy takes a vet โ€” usually an elimination diet or testing, and time. What CorePaw does is make sure that once you know, everybody else does too, immediately, without having to ask you.

FAQ

Allergies FAQ

What kinds of allergy can I record?

Food, medication and environmental โ€” chicken, a particular antibiotic, grass pollen. Each one carries the reaction it causes and a mild or severe rating.

Why do allergies get their own section?

Because they are safety-critical and time-critical. Anything a sitter, a kennel or an out-of-hours vet needs to know in five seconds should not be three taps deep in a menu, so allergies sit directly under the digital passport with severe ones flagged in red.

What is the difference between an allergy and a food "avoid"?

An avoid is a ๐Ÿšซ flag on a saved food in the feeding library โ€” useful for preferences and mild intolerances. An allergy is a record in its own right, with a reaction and a severity, shown under the passport and printed on the vet PDF. Anything that causes a real reaction belongs in allergies.

Do allergies go to the vet?

Yes, prominently. They are one of the first things on the printable health summary, above the vaccination history โ€” which matters most at an emergency practice that has never seen your animal before.

Can a sitter see them without being able to change anything?

Yes. Invite them as a Viewer: they see everything, including the allergies, and can change nothing.

Does CorePaw diagnose allergies?

No. It records what you and your vet have established. Working out what an animal reacts to is a job for a vet โ€” often a diet trial or testing โ€” not an app.

Impossible to miss, by design.
