Your vet told you to monitor your pet's breathing rate at home. VentiPaw makes it simple, accurate, and shareable. Designed for dogs and cats living with cardiac conditions - MVD, DCM, HCM, and congestive heart failure - VentiPaw gives you the monitoring tools your veterinary cardiologist actually wants to see between appointments. ---------------------- BREATHING RATE MONITOR ---------------------- The single most important thing you can do at home for a pet with heart disease. Tap along with each breath for a precise resting respiratory rate, or use the camera to detect breathing motion without touching your pet at all. Results are logged automatically with the time, activity state, and notes. Reference ranges are calibrated to your pet's species and breed - so you always know what normal looks like for them specifically. ---------------------- HEART LISTEN ---------------------- Hold your phone gently to your pet's chest for a 30-second microphone-based heart rate screening. Flags potential irregularities for follow-up with your vet. A useful between-visit data point when you notice something feels off but aren't sure. ---------------------- MEDICATION TRACKING ---------------------- Log every cardiac medication - Furosemide, Pimobendan, Enalapril, Atenolol, Spironolactone, and more - with dosage, frequency, and daily reminders so no dose is ever missed. The dose log records exactly what was given and when, building a complete medication history over time. ---------------------- VET-READY PDF REPORTS ---------------------- One tap generates a shareable PDF with breathing and heart rate charts, breed-specific reference ranges, trend data, and full medication history - ready to email to your vet or cardiologist before an appointment. No more trying to remember readings from three weeks ago. ---------------------- HISTORY & CHARTS ---------------------- Breathing and heart rate trends charted over 7, 30, 90 days, or all time. Color-coded zones show normal, elevated, and alert ranges at a glance. Tap any point on the chart to see the exact reading, date, and notes. Export to CSV for your own records. ---------------------- HOME SCREEN WIDGET ---------------------- See your pet's latest breathing rate and alert status at a glance - without opening the app. ---------------------- PRIVACY ---------------------- Everything is stored on your device and synced privately through your own iCloud account. No user accounts. No external servers. No analytics. No ads.
