Make everyday care easier with TailNotes. Keep a diary for your pets, save notes and documents, track weight, and organize care reminders.

Divide it into meals, choose feeding times and mark who has fed your pet. TailNotes does not prescribe the daily amount. Invite a loved one to care together. Both caregivers can update the shared diary and feeding plan. Feeding marks help you check whether a meal has already been recorded. Create pet cards and missing-pet posters to share the information you choose. TailNotes Plus includes multiple pets of your own, inviting a caregiver and exporting pet cards. Your first pet’s diary, weight, reminders, feeding plan and natural-food calculator remain free. Accepting an invitation is free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DOG.ME at none against Pet Journal's 3. DOG.ME also leads on iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.0). Pet Journal's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
