Here is an example of animal fields in use on an animal's webpage.

By default, all animal fields are enabled for your organization.  Depending on your level of service, however, you may see different fields when adding and editing animals.

What do the animal fields do?

Animal fields are a quick way to display your adoptable animals' information in an easy-to-read format for potential adopters. When you to the Animal Disabled Fields page (Animals > Settings > Enabled/Disabled Fields), you can select which of these fields you want to use and which you want to disable. Remember that by default, all of them are in use. To disable any field or fields, just tick off the radio buttons next to the fields. The fields you have left will then display for you every time you add an animal. Below is the list of animal fields from the Disabled Animal Fields page. Note the animal's general color field. 

If you enable the General Color field, when you add an animal, you will see that field as a selection to fill out. Not in the example below, taken from the Add an animal screen, the general color field.

On your animal's information page, you will see only those fields you've enabled. Here is a portion of the animal page for Miss Moppet. Note the General Color is listed beneath her photo.
