Adding a Medicine

Use the Breedr app to add and record vet & medicine records against your animals on the go.

Medicines can only be added to the medicine cabinet via the mobile app. Our medicine database is taken directly from the NOAH Compendium and list over 500 medicines. If the medicine is not part of the NOAH database, medicines can be added as a private medicine. 

The quickest way to add a medicine to the cabinet is by scanning in the 2D bar code on out outer packaging. 

Please note this example of a 2D bar code. Any other type of barcode will not scan.

Watch our quick video to show you how to add a medicine to your medicine cabinet
