Pet care app for dog owners and cat owners: Track vaccination reminders, feeding schedules, pet weight, vet expenses, and health records in one easy pet diary — for one pet or your entire household. Everything you need to remember about your pet, in one place. TailwagHaven keeps the small things from slipping: when the next meal is due, which vaccine is coming up, what you actually spent at the vet this month, and how your pet's weight is trending. TODAY, AT A GLANCE Open the app and see what is due — feeding and water reminders on your own schedule, not a generic one. Tick them off as you go. VACCINES YOU WON'T FORGET Add a vaccine with its date and turn on a reminder. TailwagHaven tells you what's due before the vet does, and keeps a clean history of what's already done. WHAT YOUR PET REALLY COSTS Log expenses by category — food, vet, grooming, toys. See the month's total, how it compares to last month, and where the money went. WEIGHT, TRACKED PROPERLY Log a weight in seconds and watch the trend build into a chart. Useful at the vet, and useful for catching changes early. NOTES THAT STAY WITH THE PET Jot down a limp, a food that finally agreed with them, or what the groomer said. Colour-coded, sorted how you like. A CARE ASSISTANT THAT KNOWS YOUR PET Ask about weight, vaccines, behaviour or costs. The assistant reads your pet's own records — breed, age, weight history, upcoming vaccines, this month's spend — so answers are about your pet, not pets in general. It is not a veterinarian and never replaces one. MORE THAN ONE PET Add every animal in the house. Each keeps its own schedule, vaccines, expenses, notes and weight history. PRIVACY No sign-up, no account. Your pet's records live on your device. Reminder schedules sync to our server so notifications can reach you, and questions you ask the assistant are sent to be answered. Nothing else leaves your phone. Free to use!
