Welcoming a new pet into the family might seem easy at first when the pet is healthy, but it is important to the pet’s health to keep track of important information that is all inclusive and allows the owner to access easily whenever it is needed.
iPetCare: Care for Dogs and Cats ($1.99) is an app that allows the owner to store important information about each of your furry friends. Include the name, photo, physical information, and any medical and service provider information. The weight chart allows the owner to charge the growth of your dog or cat to make sure you are feeding them correctly and giving them enough exercise as they grow. Include information regarding all medical visits to be sure your pet is up to date on all vaccinations, as well as a directly of groomers, vets, and pet boarding. Also included is a section for pet news to keep you the owner up to date on any news related to your pet.
A similar program that also allows the user to track pet information is My Dog (Free). My Dog for iPad is not as detailed as the iPetCare app, but does allow the owner to save pertinent information about your pet. The difference with this app is that it also includes information for traveling with your pet and allows the owner to search for pet friendly hotels.
Dogs Pro HD ($4.99) or Cats HD breed guide ($2.99) are both apps that allow the owner to research into a dog or cat’s breed to find information regarding what the illnesses and diseases the animal would be susceptible to getting during their lifetime. Information is given regarding the breed traits and how to spot specific breeds. The app includes information about each of the breeds so an owner can find out what type of animal breed would be the best fit for their family. A similar iPad app for dogs is Breed Health for Dogs ($4.99) to inform you of potential inherited diseases in your dog and steps to take to prevent them.
Your pet has needs and it is up to you to purchase items that are safe and fun to entertain your pet both inside and outside. Pet Supplies (Free) is an iPad app that allows the user to purchase pet supplies from the comfort of home. Find the lowest prices and a huge selection and often free shipping.
Puppy and Dog Trainer ($3.99) is an app specifically designed to help new dog owners teach their pet basic training. This app instructs the owner how to keep their puppy from chewing or barking, as well as how to housebreak the new puppy.
When your pet starts having changes in behavior or develops symptoms, use the app called Pet First Aid ($3.99) to search symptoms and record vital information. This app includes videos and instructions to help you take care of your pet during emergency situations when you are not able to reach your vet or pay for expensive emergency care.
