How to keep track of your pet's medicines
Quick answer: To keep track of your pet's medicines, add your pet, add each medicine or treatment, tick doses as you give them, turn on notifications and before a vet visit, print the sheet.
- Add your pet. Name, animal and weight. One pet is free; more pets need Pet Pro.
- Add each medicine or treatment. Copy the name and amount from the vet's label, pick how often (every day, every month, every 3 months…) and the time. For a monthly or 3-monthly treatment, set the date it was last given.
- Tick doses as you give them. Today shows what's due. Each medicine shows its next due date.
- Turn on notifications. Get a notification at each time, even with the browser closed. The medicine name is added by your own phone.
- Before a vet visit, print the sheet. Medicines, doses given in the last 30 days, weight changes and space for questions.
Monthly and 3-monthly treatments
Flea, tick and worming products are often given every month or every three months, which is easy to forget. Set the date of the last dose and the interval, and the reminder works out every next date. The right product and interval depend on your pet, where you live and the product itself: follow the vet or the label.
Weight matters for doses
Many pet medicines are dosed by weight, and weight loss or gain can be an early sign of illness. Weigh your pet regularly (bathroom scales: weigh yourself holding the pet, then without) and bring the history to the vet.
Human medicines are dangerous for pets
Never give a pet a human painkiller or other medicine unless the vet tells you to. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen, for example, are poisonous to cats and dogs. If your pet swallows a medicine by mistake or seems unwell after a dose, call your vet straight away.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes, for one pet, with reminders and notifications. Pet Pro adds more pets (up to 12) and the printable vet visit sheet.
Where is my pet's information stored?
In this browser on this device. If you turn on notifications, our server keeps only the reminder times under random ids; the medicine names never leave your device. With Health Pro you can also sync it between your devices, end-to-end encrypted.
Does it tell me what dose to give?
No. It only reminds you about what your vet prescribed. Doses depend on the animal, its weight and the product.
Can I use it for several pets?
Yes, with Pet Pro: each medicine is linked to one pet, and today's list shows everyone's doses together.
Will notifications work on iPhone?
On iPhone and iPad, add the page to your Home Screen (Share → Add to Home Screen), open it from there and turn notifications on. On Android and computers they work in the browser.
