Animal Breeds

Animal Breeds build on your defined Animal Types by allowing you to add more detailed classifications within each species. Once your Animal Types are in place, breeds let you refine your care processes even further — supporting breed‑specific size settings, vaccination rules, pricing variations, and tailored service requirements. Together, animal types and breeds ensure that Pet Manager can accurately reflect the real‑world differences between the pets you care for, keeping your workflows precise, flexible, and aligned with each animal’s unique needs.
