Animal Database UK
Built for UK animal collections

The complete platform for animal collections

One workspace for animal records, medical, weighing, training, HR, compliance and visitor engagement. Replace the spreadsheets, the WhatsApp groups, the dog-eared logbooks — and give your keepers a single place to record their day.

Everything in one place

One platform, every part of the day

From the morning rounds to the end-of-year inspection — we cover the lot.

Animal Records

Every animal with its full history — movement, identifiers, breeding pairs, photos and documents. Filter, sort, search instantly.

Medical & Prescriptions

Vet-grade medical records, recurring prescription schedules with dose-time reminders, lab results, post-mortems and vet sign-off workflows.

Daily Weighing

Kiosk-style entry on a tablet, charts per animal, below-minimum alerts to staff with weight-alert permission, and refuse-to-weigh capture.

Training & Sessions

Rate each session from Very Good through Good, OK, Poor and Very Poor — or mark it Not Trained when the session didn’t happen, with a reason. Notes, weekly cadence targets, tether compliance, and a per-animal training programme.

Enclosure Cleaning

Per-enclosure cleaning schedules, missed-clean dashboards, sign-off workflow for area leaders, and history exports for inspectors.

HR & Training Records Add-on

Staff & volunteer profiles, rota, time-off requests, mandatory + learning-path online training, practical sessions and certificate generation.

Feeding & Diet

Plan, prepare and log every feed. Recurring diet rules per animal, today’s prep view for the kitchen, approval workflow for new diets, leftover tracking and a full audit of what was prepared vs. what was actually eaten.

Site Register

Fire register / roll-call with GPS sign-in, public QR poster, optional payroll-hours tracking, and automatic reminders to sign out.

Health & Safety

Risk assessments, accident book, SDS register, EICR & PAT testing. Token-link reviewer workflow, training-course linkage and inspector-grade PDF exports.

Per-section permissions

Build the roles your collection actually needs — whether that’s a private keeper and a vet, or a full team of paid staff, volunteers, vets and managers. Every module has its own view / add / edit / delete / approve toggles, and any module your tier doesn’t use simply isn’t shown.

Policies

Central library of company policies with version history, mandatory-read acknowledgement per user, expiry reminders, and a public read-only embed for the careers / public-facing site. Print-ready PDF exports for inspectors.

Documents

Per-animal, per-staff and collection-wide document store. AAL / Zoo licences, vet contracts, insurance certificates, SOPs — categorised, expiry-tracked, permission-gated and visible on the compliance dashboard when something’s out of date.

Diet Plans

Per-animal diet plans with multiple feeding times, full food item catalogue, days-of-week scheduling and a complete change history (who changed what, when, and why). Plans drive the daily Feeding & Diet prep board automatically.

Mobile App

Native iOS & Android apps. Face ID / Touch ID login on iOS, push notifications, deep linking and offline-tolerant kiosk modes for the weighing room.

Inspection-ready, every day of the year

Built around the Standards of Modern Zoo Practice 2024 (coming into force 2027) and the APHA inspection sheet. The compliance dashboard scores zoo and AAL licensed collections against every section — from food & water, to enclosure environment, to public safety, to staff training — and tells you exactly what's missing.

  • Real-time scoring, not end-of-year scramble
  • Drill-downs to the underlying records
  • Export PDFs for inspectors with one tap
  • Per-area weights so critical sections can't be masked

Training that respects experience tiers

Every animal has a traffic-light experience rating. Keepers see only what they're qualified to handle, advanced animals need approval before a junior keeper can log a session, and tethered animals with a 'Not Trained' status require sign-off with a reason.

  • GREEN / AMBER / RED tier on every animal & user
  • Push + email approval requests in real time
  • Per-animal cadence targets ("3 sessions/week")
  • Full programme + history per animal

Medical records your vet can access

Your vet gets their own dedicated dashboard — a focused view of the animals in their care, with no other parts of the system in the way. Review prescriptions, respond to feedback requests, sign off post-mortems and add notes directly, all from a separate vet login.

  • Dedicated vet dashboard — limited, focused view of just their animals
  • Prescriptions auto-schedule by the hour with per-dose audit
  • Stock decrement on every dose administered — batch + expiry tracked
  • Body-condition + flying-weight context on every record
  • One-tap feedback request from keepers to the vet
  • Post-mortem capture meeting SoMZP §8 requirements

Onboarding in days, not months

Designed so that when you join, there's no professional services engagement and no week-long onboarding workshop. You'll add your animals and your team, and the data will start working for you from day one.

1

Sign up

Pick the modules you need. The platform adapts to the level of regulation your collection actually operates under.

2

Add your collection

Bulk-import animals via CSV, or add them in 60 seconds each with the species lookup & auto-taxonomy.

3

Get the team on

Invite staff by email. They install the mobile app, biometric-login once and they're logging weights from the enclosure.

4

Watch compliance lift

Daily activity flows into the compliance dashboard. By inspection day, every check has a paper trail one tap away.

Goodbye, scattered records

One platform replaces all this

Weights in a notebook, the rota in someone’s photos, the WhatsApp group asking “did anyone feed Otis?” — Animal Database UK brings every record into one place, shared with the whole team and ready for inspection.

Weight spreadsheets

Per-animal charts + below-minimum alerts that actually reach the duty manager.

"Did anyone…" WhatsApp

Push notifications for missing records, with one-tap deep links to log them.

Paper logbooks

Searchable history per animal — every weight, session, medical and feed.

End-of-year scramble

Inspection-ready every day. Compliance is a real-time score, not a paperwork sprint.

Optional add-ons

Two modules you can switch on when you need them

The core platform covers everything required to run your collection day-to-day. When you outgrow it, two add-on modules slot in for an additional monthly fee.

Optional add-on

HR & Training

A staff & volunteer workspace alongside the animal data — with a full internal LMS so you build the courses your keepers actually need, instead of paying a third party for off-the-shelf content.

  • Interactive course builder — drag-and-drop content blocks (rich text, images, videos, PDFs, embedded quizzes)
  • In-course quizzes with pass marks and unlimited retakes
  • Auto-generated PDF certificates on completion, with collection branding
  • Learning paths — ordered sequences of courses (e.g. "Junior keeper induction")
  • Practical training sessions (e.g. animal handling) signed off in person
  • Staff & volunteer profiles with HR document uploads
  • Rota build + per-week shift assignments
  • Time-off requests with token-link manager approval
  • Per-user training records + manager training compliance reports
  • Hours-worked report from the Site Register sign-ins
Optional add-on

Sponsorship & Adoptions

Turn supporters into a revenue stream. Sponsorship packages, Stripe Connect payments, and certificate generation for welcome packs.

  • Sponsorship packages per animal or per species
  • One-off payments via Stripe Connect (the income lands in your own Stripe account)
  • Custom welcome certificate generation (PDF)
  • Order admin + customer email notifications
  • Animal carousel + shop-embed scripts for your existing website
  • Manual order entry for in-person or cash sponsorships

Add-on pricing is confirmed when subscriptions open. We'll send you the full pricing sheet with the launch date:

Health & safety that ties into your training

A risk assessment isn't a piece of paper in a folder — it's a live document linked to the people qualified to follow it. Our H&S module is built so every assessment, accident report, SDS sheet, EICR cert and PAT log lives under one auditable umbrella, with a paper trail you can hand straight to the HSE inspector or your AAL renewal.

  • Risk assessments with hazards, who's at risk, control measures & residual risk
  • Link a risk assessment to the HR training courses staff must complete to work under it
  • Token-link review workflow — invite internal or external reviewers without giving them logins
  • Accident book with follow-ups + PDF report
  • SDS register with per-product PDFs + batch download
  • EICR & PAT testing registers with review reminders

Inspector-grade output

Every record exports as a PDF the inspector wants to see

We use the same TCPDF engine across the platform with a standard provenance footer ("Generated by Animal Database UK · datetime · Page X of Y") so every printout is traceable. Page-break logic is hand-tuned: rows never split, headers repeat, and tables stay aligned through 50+ pages.

Page-break logic is hand-tuned — rows never split across pages, headers re-render on every page, table widths are fixed in millimetres so columns can't drift apart on long reports. Tested on real collections with 200+ animals and 14-page weekly reports.
