However, it is not limited to this.

Meanwhile, when the processor 110 receives user information from the user terminal 200 and creates profile information for a companion animal, the processor 110 may include identification information, health information, and user information in the profile information.

That is, because the profile information of a pet includes information related to the pet and user information about the user who is the owner of the pet, an RFID chip corresponding to the identification information is inserted into the body or a pet attached to the body. If an animal is lost, the owner of the pet can be easily found.

The processor 110 of the pet medical record server 100 shares the profile information with the external server 300 and then receives health change information about the pet from the user terminal 200 or the external server 300. You can.

For example, as a change in the health of the pet occurs, the user terminal 200 may transmit health change information about the pet to the pet medical record server 100 (S4-1).

For example, a user who is the owner of a pet can measure the weight of the pet at home. Also, if the weight of the pet changes, the user can transmit health change information including information about the change in weight of the pet to the pet medical record server 100 using the user terminal 200.
