The best apps for pet owners in 2026 — and which job each one does
HeyVetto, Vet Record, MyPetLogger, PetDesk, 11pets, Great Pet Care, Tractive and Rover, sorted by job: the health record, the clinic, a lost pet, a sitter. Prices as of October 2026.
Guides for the owner at the counter, not for the vet: what the lab sheet says, which shots a puppy needs, where the records should live, and how two people give one dog her tablets without giving them twice.
HeyVetto, Vet Record, MyPetLogger, PetDesk, 11pets, Great Pet Care, Tractive and Rover, sorted by job: the health record, the clinic, a lost pet, a sitter. Prices as of October 2026.
What to leave a pet sitter — food, medication, the vet, allergies, chip, vaccines, routine — and why the medical half belongs on their phone, where every dose they tick shows on yours.
HeyVetto, PetNoter, Vet Record, 11pets and VitusVet on the five things that matter at the counter: who reads the sheet, who ranges the lab values, who shares doses, who lets you leave. Prices as of September 2026.
Two people, one pet, one prescription — and nobody's sure. What to do if you double-dosed, and how to set up a record both phones can see.
The clinic, the drawer, the camera roll, a chat thread and your memory — why each fails at the counter, and how to pull them into one searchable record.
One folder per pet, a one-page summary in front, a photo of every sheet on the day. What to keep, how to get copies from your vet, and what a new vet actually asks for.
Every shot from 6 to 16 weeks, what each one protects against, what to do about a missed dose, and how to keep the certificates you'll be asked for later.
ALT, ALP, HCT, USG — a plain-language glossary of the codes on a dog or cat's blood and urine results, and how to read the reference range beside them.
HeyVetto reads the dose, the date and the lab values off the photo, keeps the photo beside them, reminds you before the next dose, and shares the record with the other person in the house. Free while we're in testing.
