Animal Welfare Professionals

My family struggles with keeping track of who did what for our dog Riley and we were wondering what methods people use to track everything? A load of people have recommended that new free app OurPet (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ourpet/id1435861045) and so I think we might try it since everyone who uses it says its a game-changer for petcare, but I was also wondering what else people use?

I don't know if this may help, but all of my pets go to Banfield Pet Hospital. Since they are all on a Wellness Plan, we also use their App to help monitor upcoming health and wellness appointments (vaccinations, routine deworming, comprehensive physicals, dental cleaning, urine/fecal/blood screening, etc.). The App also has a Log feature that helps me track their weight and add any notes pertinent to one of my 7 animals. 

The App also has an "Ask a Vet" feature which connects me to a Vet 24/7 to ask any questions that I may have. The App has come a long way since I began care with Banfield 4 years ago. 

Are you referring to a daily regime? An old-fashioned list on the refrigerator could be helpful too. List what needs to be done, and each person who does it has to check it off. My husband and I have broken it into two pieces. I do 1/2 and he does the other. If for some reason we can not - we ask the other to cover. Pretty much, our dog lets us know if he is missing something, even his snacks! Let us know what you find out about the app.

I absolutely agree with Sharon.   As a mom for my own as well as several foster pets (all seniors with various meds and supplements at various times,  I borrowed this technique from small local shelter.    I could use app or spreadsheet on computer,   But a schedule on fridge or bulletin board which can be checked off, is handier.   One other thought,for one animal a pill box, one that has places for several times a day (which I use for my own medications, might help.
