Pins Pets helps you keep critical care records for the companions who count on you. Track vet meds and treatments for dogs and cats in one place — species body maps, inventory, schedules, and clean exports when you need a backup or a handoff for your veterinarian. Pet records stay encrypted on your device by default. Optional account sign-in (when enabled) is for access only. Pet health logs are not uploaded by default. No ads. No tracking SDKs. What you can do • Multi-pet profiles (dogs, cats, and more) • Species body maps with tap-to-log sites • Inventory for vials, chews, tablets, insulin, and more • Weekly schedule with .ics / text export • Dose calculators (including mg/kg) • Optional device passphrase lock Who it's for People who want a calm, private way to organize pet care records on their phone — schedules, inventory, and clean exports for their veterinarian — not a clinic portal and not a social feed. What Pins Pets is not Pins Pets is a personal organization tool. It is not a veterinary device and does not diagnose, treat, or cure. It does not replace a veterinarian. Always consult a qualified veterinarian for pet health decisions. Publisher: 220 Tech LLC Website: https://the220tech.com Support: info@the220tech.com Privacy: https://the220tech.com/privacy.html
