Pawly

Read full description

Pawly brings all of your pet’s care into one app: medical records, a vaccination and parasite plan, medication courses, well-being, weight and grooming. Plus an AI assistant that knows your pet’s own history. MEDICAL RECORD AND DOCUMENTS • Every event in one place: vet visits, vaccinations, lab tests, parasite treatments, surgeries, treatments, weigh-ins. Photos and files attach to records. • AI document import: snap a vet report, pet passport or prescription — Pawly reads the records, prescriptions and pet details and offers to add them to the medical record. You check and confirm; the photo is saved as an attachment. • A reminder for any record. An overdue one reminds you again and lets you mark it done, reschedule or skip. CARE PLAN • A ready-made prevention plan for your pet’s species, age and season: vaccinations, deworming, tick and flea treatment, check-ups, lab tests, dental care, weigh-ins. Puppies and kittens get a first-year schedule. • Reminders come ahead of time. Done — the record appears in the medical record and the next date is calculated for you. • Add the plan and medication times to your phone calendar with one link. TREATMENT COURSES • Medication, dose, dose times, duration. A reminder for every dose with Done and Snooze buttons. • Mark a dose right from the notification. Pawly counts the doses given and saves a course summary to the medical record. WELL-BEING, WEIGHT AND BODY CONDITION • A one-minute daily check-in: appetite, activity, stool, mood, skin and coat; litter box and drinking for cats. • Pawly notices deviations from your pet’s own normal and sends insights. A weekly summary every Sunday. • Weight chart with a healthy range, WSAVA body condition score (1–9), a target weight from your vet, treat tracking. GROOMING AND CARE • Bath, brushing, nail trim, ear and tooth cleaning, grooming — logged in three taps, several procedures at once, at home or at a salon. • A schedule tailored to your pet and its coat type, with reminders like “time to trim the nails”. VET VISIT PREP • In a minute — a summary of the last 30 or 90 days: courses, well-being, weight, records, grooming, plan — and five questions for the vet based on your data. • Share it as text or open a separate page for the vet. AI ASSISTANT • Answers questions about health, care and behaviour using your pet’s medical record, weight and well-being. • “Remind me to check” asks how your pet is doing a couple of hours later. ALSO • Several pets: dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles. • Photo gallery, data export, dark theme. • English, Russian and Spanish. Pawly does not replace your veterinarian. The plan, insights and assistant answers are guidance; your vet confirms the vaccination schedule and treatment.
