i. Introduction
Management Information System or MIS is a term used to describe a
computer-based solution which consists of a hardware and
software component. Automation plays an important role in
any type of business.
This will convert a complicated process into a straightforward
operation that will aid in management decision making. Veterinary and
Pet Shop Management Information System is an online platform that
will automate every transaction including the appointment scheduling,
laboratory test, clients and pet information and many more. PHP and
MySQL will be used in the Backend development while the
developers will use the Bootstrap Framework for the user interface of
the application.
The current setup is being done manually; records management,
appointment scheduling and other transactions are based on pen,
paper and folder methods, in line with those problems, efficiency of
outputs are also affected. With the citation of the problems
encountered in the manual setup of business, the researchers and
developers decided to create an information system that will replace
the manual method of records management.
ii. Backgroud of the study
This will store the information of the pet owners (name, contact,
address) stores information of pet/animal (animal name, type of
animal, breed, etc) sets an appointment and schedule of consultation
and check-up (date of appointment, message and details) The module
that will generate invoice for the customers and to record the payment
as well. The module that will allow the user to encode the products
and accessories that is available in the store and can be accessed by
the customers in the catalog section of the web application. The
module that will print-out the records such as the list of clients and
pets, reports on income and many more. Automation will be very
important in this kind of business; it will also broaden or widen their
client-base and it will result in an efficient and productive work.
Customer can now keep in touch with their veterinary and be updated
on the different ways to take good care of their pets. This will serve as
a challenge to the developers in order to enhance their skills in
systems planning and development. This will be a guide to the future
researchers and developers who want to conducts a similar study like
this one. Future researchers are free to upgrade and add more
functionality to this project.

General Objectives
• Profit
The primary objective of any business is to make a profit, and pet
shops are no exception. This store/clinic sells different kind of
goods for the animals and will also take good care for them.
• Animal Care
There are many cases of animals that are abandoned and
unsheltered. One of the objectives of this business is to help other
animals. We’re aiming to lessen the numbers of animal abuse and
make them feel that they are loved, and also give chance to
customers to have a good pet.
Specific Objectives
• Owner – The process will be so beneficial and a great help for the
business through an accurate income sales report and time saving.
Medicines monitoring for stocks level and expiration, to give the client
assurance health safety of their pets in terms of medicines in takes.
• Clients – Are assured to have a correct information datas in the
records or files of their pets.
• Staff – It will improve their service, productivity and provide accurate
reports to the clients, it will also help in encoding and retrieving
patient’s records during consultation.
• Patients – It can be monitoring the health issues, diets concerns, and
vaccination monitoring and immunization schedules.
Researchers – This project helped us in a way we realized what we
can contribute to the society and how we can apply the knowledge
that we acquired. And also, to analyze what are the needs and where
we can improve the particular business process.
Future Researchers – This system may be a basis for the future
researchers who might come up with the same idea of the Veterinary
and Pet Shop Management Information System and will use as a
basis for their study.
Local Studies
Specifically designed to precisely meet the needs of veterinary clinic
and animal hospital owners. Choose from any or all of the following:

DigiTail
Cycle (SDLC)
The traditional system development methods used most
byorganizations today, is a framework that provides a structured
sequential processes in the development of information systems. The
stages of the SDLC begin with planning, requirement analysis,
designing, programming / coding, testing and maintenance. Each
stage of the SDLC involves a number of personnel who have special
competencies such as in the stage of requirement analysis and
design required Systems Analyst personnel, designing stages
required programmer and so on. [12]. The prototyping model is a
systems development method in which a prototype is built and tested.
In the prototype model, the working programs are prepared quickly
[12]. UML is a modeling language which helps to simplify the process
of software design. UML includes a flexible graphical notification to
create visual models of basically object-oriented software systems.
[13]. Hypertext Preprocessor is a general-purpose programming
language originally designed for web development. PHP is open
source software that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance [14].
MySQL is an open-source relational database management system
(RDBMS) that can be used for developing web application [15]. (J T
Purba et al, 2020).
Synthesis
This synthesis focusses on the functions in the system and discusses
the results of the articles appearing in this study. The discussion
concerns the role of the system and its functions, the value of system
function for foreign and local system development, the constitutive
effects of its functionality. The proposed Veterinary and Pet Shop
Management Information System will ensure the reliability and
efficiency of the system. Whereas, non-automated procedure means
that the proponents are relying on a current process that cause of
inefficient in data gathering, storing, and processing. Furthermore,
the related literature discuss in local and foreign studies are related to
the present system study. Researching on related system give inputs
to the proponents. The ideas collected from the related system helps
a lot the researcher to create the additional functions that is lacking.
The related system also gave information to this study as basis for
developing it. The proponents took the missing functions and propose
a system to make it more efficient and user friendly.
b) Source of Data
b.1 Population / Participants
This study shall employ the use of Convenience sampling, it is the
easiest method of sampling because participants are selected based
on availability and willingness to take part. Useful result can be
obtained, but the result is prone to significant bias, because those
who volunteer to take part may be different from those who choose
not to (volunteer bias), and the sample may not be representative of
the other characteristics, such us age or sex (PHAST 2020). Since the
study is intended to ascertain the implications the implications of
veterinary and pet shop information management system, the
researchers choose to do the research to the available participants
since the current situation nowadays is the new normal.
The population of the study will be comprised of 1 employee of Animal
Wonder and 1 employee of Pampermi Pet Shop.
