A warm, modern app for dedicated dog owners — people whose lives revolve around their dogs. Built exclusively for dogs, launched with the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever community. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • GPS walks — live route, distance, and time, recording even with the screen locked, plus a lock-screen Live Activity and a walk log • Vet appointments — day-before and day-of reminders • Medications — daily, weekly, monthly, or as-needed. As-needed (symptom) meds log every dose with the reason, send "give again" reminders on your interval, and roll up into insights you can share with your vet • Flea & tick prevention — automatic due-date math, 3-day-out alerts • Vaccinations — 30-day expiry alerts before each shot lapses • Weight — chart, ideal-range tracking, lbs or kg • Stool scores — the Purina 1–5 Fecal Scoring System • Skin & eye condition — 1–10 scales with symptom chips • Feeding — schedule with per-meal logging • Heat-aware walk advisories — a hot-day banner tuned for thick-coated breeds • Grooming, teeth, coat, nails, ears, paws — full care checklists • Pet sitter, vet, and emergency contacts with tap-to-call THE EMBER SCORE A daily wellness number, 0–100, calculated live from your logs across weight, medications, stool, skin, walks, and feeding. Color-coded green (thriving), amber (a few things to watch), or red (consider calling your vet) — so you see your dog's care at a glance. SHARE THE CARE • Family Sharing — share a dog with your partner or family. Everyone sees the same record, logs sync between you, and you choose who can view versus edit. • Sitter Mode — hand a sitter a temporary, live view of your dog's routine. They log meals and walks; you see it all. Their access ends when the sit does. VET REPORT Tap once to share a clean summary of recent readings with your vet — Mail, Messages, AirDrop, or your vet's portal. COMING NEXT — LITTER NETWORK Connect with your dog's littermates from the same breeder. Compare growth, spot shared health patterns early, and schedule walks together. PRIVACY Your dog's data stays on your device unless you choose to share it — through a Family Sharing or Sitter invite, a Walking Club, or a vet report you send. No ads, no analytics, no third-party tracking. Medications are never included in shared records unless you explicitly opt in. BUILT FOR • Owners who already keep notes and want them organized • Households sharing the care of one dog • People who bring records to vet appointments • Toller owners first — every breed welcome emberpaws.ca · Made by an owner-developer in Nova Scotia. Named after Ember (LittleM) — the founding Toller pup. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.3.0 — 2026-06-09 This update makes medications far smarter — especially the ones you give only when your dog needs them. AS-NEEDED MEDICATIONS • Log every dose, with the time — give a second dose the same day and both are kept • Set "every N hours" and get a reminder when the next dose is due • Note the symptom behind each dose — upset stomach, itching, pain, and more SYMPTOM INSIGHTS • See how often a med is given, flare-up clusters, and the reasons over time • Spot patterns — whether doses line up with hot days, stomach trouble, or skin flares • Share the insights on their own, or include them in your Vet Report DAILY COURSES • Put a daily med on a short course with an end date — its reminders stop on their own when the course is done EMBER SCORE • As-needed meds no longer affect the score — only scheduled meds count, so a day you don't need a symptom med won't ding it • Rebalanced what the score weighs: more on feeding and walks ALSO • Fixed the hot-weather walk advisory so the heat banner reliably appears on warm days Thanks for being part of the founding pack. Questions or ideas? Email hello@emberpaws.ca ### 1.2.3 — 2026-05-31 Three big additions for the people — and the dog — who do the walking. GPS WALK TRACKING • Track a walk with GPS: live route, distance, and time • Keeps recording with your phone locked and in your pocket • A lock-screen Live Activity shows the walk in progress — with an End button right there, so you never forget you're recording FAMILY SHARING • Manage who each dog is shared with, right inside the app — switch a family member between view-only and can-edit, remove someone, or stop sharing • See at a glance how many people a dog is shared with • Entries show who updated them last, so co-parents always know who did what SITTER MODE • Extend an active sit without sending a new invite (+1 day, +3, +1 week, or any date) • Clearer when a sit has wrapped; works offline and syncs when you're back STABILITY • Fixed crashes when removing a sit or deleting a walk • Fixed a freeze when opening your full walk history • A major sharing reliability pass so shared dogs land cleanly and stay put — the whole care team sees the same thing Thanks for being part of the founding pack. Questions or ideas? Email hello@emberpaws.ca ### 1.2.2 — 2026-05-26 Sitter Mode is here. Going away for the weekend? Schedule a sit, send a tappable iMessage invite. Your sitter taps it on their iPhone — and they get a focused dashboard with your dog's feeding times, walk plan, and (only if you opt in) medication schedule. Every meal, walk, and dose they log flows back to your dashboard in real time. When the sit ends, their access ends — automatically, no cleanup on your end. Also new: clearer sitter-mode discoverability from the main dashboard, owner-mode view of the sitter's notes, plus the usual round of polish and bug fixes. Built with private CloudKit. No subscriptions. No accounts. No tracking. ### 1.2.1 — 2026-05-24 Stool Tracker just got smarter the new Insights view surfaces trends, frequency patterns, colour flags, and food correlations so you can spot issues before they need a vet visit, plus a full History view to scroll back through every entry. Family Sharing is also tighter: when a household member logs a meal, walk, or medication, it appears on your device instantly. ### 1.2 — 2026-05-20 The biggest EmberPaws update yet — built around the people in your day. Walking Club Invites, Family Sharing, Daily Routine, Walk Tracker. Walking Club Invites — share a tappable link to a walk. Friends tap it on iMessage and the app opens straight to the walk, ready to RSVP. No code-typing, no Safari detour. Family Sharing — bring the household in. Vet appointments, walks, feedings, and weights sync across every iPhone via private CloudKit. Never our servers. Daily Routine — a morning and evening checklist of every walk, meal, and medication your dog needs today. Tick them off; the dashboard tracks how today is going. Walk Tracker — tap Start when you leave, tap Stop when you're home. Distance and duration log themselves. Battery-conscious — uses iOS visit tracking, not raw GPS. Plus: smoother RSVP refresh, heat warnings, eye health tracking, vaccine auto-schedule, sitter info sheets, grooming reminders, and dozens of small touches. Free. No subscription. No account. No tracking. The way it's always been. ## More apps by MICHAEL CASPER PETITPAS - [Verse Off](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/verse-off/id6761696956) - [VerseRoom](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/verseroom/id6763440006) - [CrosbyTrails](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/crosbytrails/id6766148816) All apps by MICHAEL CASPER PETITPAS: https://appshunter.io/developer/1890951122 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
