Tickster Pet Scan helps dog owners perform routine tick checks and keep an organized care history for each dog. Using your iPhone camera, Tickster guides you through a visual scan and highlights possible tick candidates for closer review. Each completed scan is associated with a selected dog and added to that dog’s Care Timeline. With Tickster, you can: • Perform guided visual tick checks • Highlight possible tick candidates during a scan • Maintain a separate scan history for each dog • Record body areas, confidence, findings, and owner notes • Review prior scans in a simple Care Timeline • Save optional snapshots for later review • Follow practical scan reminders • Copy a vet-ready summary to share with your veterinarian • Read educational pet-health and tick-awareness information Snapshot saving is optional and turned off by default. When enabled, saved snapshots provide visual context for later review or discussion with your veterinarian. With optional foreground location access, Tickster can provide local tick-awareness and weather context. Tickster does not access your location in the background, and its core scanning and record-keeping features remain available without location permission. A Tickster membership is required to perform new scans. Monthly and annual auto-renewable subscription options are available through the App Store. Eligible new subscribers may receive a one-week free trial. Pricing and final offer eligibility are shown by Apple before purchase. You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple Account settings. Tickster is a routine screening, education, and tracking aid for dog care. It does not diagnose disease, confirm whether a finding is a tick, determine whether a tick carries an infection, recommend treatment, or replace veterinary care. Contact your veterinarian if your dog seems unwell, you find an embedded tick, or you have health concerns. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
