Gone are the days of scraps of paper with puppy weights jotted down. Paper that invariably gets stained, chewed or lost. We all carry our phones with us so why not use it to track your pups progress? Features • Create a litter using Mum’s name and the date the pups were born. • Tracking and update multiple litters. • Identify puppies by collar colour and log other info for each pup - sex, colour etc.. • Set a reminder to weigh your pups. • Record pup’s weight daily. In addition to storing weights the app generates a progress graph do you can compare the growth of each pup in the litter. Store these records in your app or use the report feature to share or print them. It is incredibly important to weigh your puppies regularly. With small babies it’s impossible to tell if they’ve lost or gained a few grams without tracking weight. Gaining weight indicates that your puppy is growing and progressing. If one pup falls behind immediate action and extra attention is needed to ensure they thrive. This Fair Hero app was originally developed to allow me to track and record my own litters. It is an invaluable tool that I want to share with other breeders xxx
