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.
