How to read a PetLive record
What each field means, and which ones should change your mind.
The number is permanent. Bookmark it; it will still resolve after the animal sells, and it is the only reliable way to refer to a specific individual in an email to us.
"Settled" is the field to read first. An animal held ninety days has been through a full cycle of our water; one held twelve days has not.
The parameters are not a boast — they are an instruction. Matching them before it ships is the single largest thing you can do for the animal, and it costs nothing.
