Pet Apps




In this world of "There's an App for that", I thought I might put in my 2 cents about the ones I found fun/useful.  Please remember that these apps in no way replace your veterinarians office.  We are always happy to talk on the phone and examine the pet if need be.


Image Detail

PetSnap: Pet Photo App.  It has several sounds(squeaky toy, cat meow, bells, etc) to help get your pets attention to get a great picture. 





Pet Phone:  Allows you to put your pets health needs on your phone.  It tracks vet visits, medications, weight history and general info about numerous pets.

PetBook:  Its a calendar but it also have notifications.  It can remind you to medicate your dog or that it has a grooming appointment.

 

ASPCA Petoxins:  It has a list of toxic plants, with pictures and the symptoms they cause.  You can also call Poison Control from the App and get advice(I think there is a fee for this).






Dog Tricks - Best of 101 Dog Tricks:  This teaches 8 basic tricks.  Would be good for new dog owners.

Dog-a-Log:  Its a list of dog breeds with pictures and descriptions.  It is collected off of Wikipedia, and put in to simple app form.

Pet First Aid by Jive Media:  It has information on what do do in an emergency situation. (Burns, bleeding, choking, etc.)  It also has fundamentals for restraint and muzzling, with very helpful videos.  I think this is a great app for all pet owners to have.
