Your Kennel's Compliance — At a Glance
One number tells you everything: your kennel's overall compliance score. Break it down by category — vaccinations, vet details, diet plans, consents — and see exactly which pets have gaps before an inspector ever asks.
Live Compliance Score
A real-time percentage for your whole kennel, colour-coded so you know instantly where you stand. Green means you're ready. Amber means check the gaps. Red means act now.

Built for DEFRA & Ireland:Required fields change by region. UK kennels see Animal Welfare Regulations 2018 requirements; Irish kennels see their own standard. The report adapts automatically.
Fix Gaps in Seconds — Not Hours
Click “Fix 2 gaps” on any pet, and a focused panel opens showing only the missing fields. No scrolling through a full profile — just the information you need to collect. Save, and the compliance score updates instantly.
Only What's Missing
The fix panel shows only the fields that need filling in — vet details, dietary requirements, consent forms. No distractions, no full-page edit forms.
Context That Explains Why
Each section explains why the field matters: “Required under the Animal Welfare Regulations 2018. Kennel staff must be able to contact the pet's vet in an emergency.”
Save & Return
Save updates the pet's record and returns you straight to the compliance report with the score recalculated. Fix all your gaps in one sitting.
The whole point:The report creates urgency. The fix flow makes it easy. Together, they turn compliance from a dreaded chore into a five-minute task.
How It Works
Compliance is built into every part of The Kennel Manager — not bolted on as an afterthought.
Pets check in with records
Vaccination dates, vet details, allergies, and consent forms are collected at booking and stored on the pet's profile.
The report finds gaps
The compliance dashboard scores every pet, highlights what's missing, and tells you exactly what would fail if you were inspected today.
You fix them in one click
The fix flow shows only what's missing. Fill in the gaps, save, and your score goes up. Do it before the inspector does it for you.
The Right Rules for Your Region
UK and Irish kennels have different requirements. Kennel Manager knows which fields are mandatory for your region and scores accordingly — so you're never chasing paperwork that doesn't apply to you.
UK — Animal Welfare Regulations 2018
- Insurance, vet details, dietary schedules required
- DEFRA Star Rating checklist alignment
- Microchip and exercise restriction tracking
Ireland — Standard Practice
- Core vaccination and vet records
- Dog Breeding Establishments Act support
- Fewer mandatory fields, same quality reporting
Weighted Scoring
Critical fields like vaccinations and vet details count 3x. Important fields like diet and exercise count 2x. Standard fields like insurance count 1x. Your score reflects what actually matters.
