For retail pet stores
Pet store management software built around your daily work.
Every animal in your store has a history that several people add to: arrival details, feeding, vaccinations, treatments, paperwork and the eventual handoff to a new owner. UKM keeps that history in one place so the next person on shift can find it.

What you need
What pet stores tell us matters.
Consistent work across staff
New and part time staff follow the same daily records, checklists and forms instead of relying on memory or a notebook behind the counter.
Answers while the customer waits
Find an animal’s vaccinations, treatments, breed information and documents quickly when a customer asks.
Busy periods
Bulk tools for feeding, vaccinations, treatments, printing and pricing help when many animals need the same update.
Owners with more than one store
Multi location support and reporting help owners see what is happening across stores. We will review your structure during a demo.
A supported workflow
From arrival to a new home
- 1
Review the animal’s record
Breed, microchip and registration details, ancestry and existing documents are kept on the pet record.
- 2
Record daily care
Staff log feeding and daily records, with bulk operations for groups of animals.
- 3
Track vaccinations and treatments
Care entries stay attached to the animal so the history travels with it.
- 4
Prepare paperwork
Use customizable forms and templates, store documents and collect digital signatures where your workflow supports it.
- 5
Hand off to the customer
The customer profile and the animal’s documents come together for a clear handoff conversation.
Sample animal and organization. No customer data.
A retail sale is not a shelter adoption
UKM uses retail language for retail work. Your customers buy a pet; the records and paperwork reflect a sale and a handoff to a new owner. Shelter workflows have different expectations, which is why they have their own page.
| Topic | Retail pet sale | Shelter adoption |
|---|---|---|
| What changes hands | A sale to a customer | An adoption to an adopter |
| Paperwork focus | Sale documents, care history, registration details | Adoption agreements and shelter policies |
| Where we discuss it | This page | Shelters and rescues page |
Honest fit
Where UKM helps, and where another system may still be needed.
| Area | What UKM can help organize | What may need another system |
|---|---|---|
| Animal records and care history | Pet records, daily records, vaccinations and treatments, documents | Clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions stay with your veterinarian |
| Supplies and equipment | Inventory management for supplies and equipment, plus expense tracking | Full point of sale, payments, accounting or warehouse systems are not claimed |
| Customers | Customer profiles, messaging, coupons, promotions and bulk discounts | Your existing marketing or loyalty tools may still be needed |
| Your website | Website media library, video galleries and e-commerce integration have been part of UKM | Your specific website platform should be confirmed in a demo |
Checklist
A pet store buying checklist
- Can any staff member find an animal’s full care history in a few steps?
- Do daily records work for one animal and for a whole room of animals?
- Are sale documents, registrations and signatures kept with the record?
- Can you set roles so staff see what their job requires?
- Can an owner review activity across more than one location?
- Is it clear which tools still handle payments and accounting?
What we will discuss in a demo
- How many locations and staff roles do you have?
- Which records do you keep on paper today?
- Which point of sale and accounting tools will stay in place?
- What paperwork goes home with a new owner?

Questions
Does UKM replace my point of sale system?
We do not describe UKM as a full point of sale, payment or accounting system. Inventory in UKM covers supplies and equipment. Tell us what you use at the register and we will explain how the two would work side by side.
Can UKM handle several stores?
Multi location support is a long standing UKM feature. Structures vary, so we review your stores, staff and reporting needs in a demo before recommending a setup.
Can we update many animals at once?
Yes. UKM includes bulk tools for feeding, vaccinations and treatments, printing, pricing edits and pet management.
Is breed and ancestry information supported?
UKM includes breed information, pet ancestry, and microchip and breed registration records. We will show the exact fields in a demo.
