Why tracking matters during canine chemotherapy
Side effects often appear in the days following a treatment, and your vet team needs to know exactly when and how strongly they showed up.
Appetite dips, low energy, and stool changes can be subtle, and it is hard to compare one cycle to the next from memory alone.
Supportive medications like anti-nausea drugs come with their own schedules, and missed doses can make a rough patch worse.
What the tracker actually does

Record each treatment date so you can line up side effects with the days after a session.

Log nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, low appetite, and tiredness as they appear through each cycle.
Appetite & energy
Track how much your dog eats and how active they are to see how they recover between sessions.

Frequently asked questions
- When do chemo side effects usually appear in dogs?
- They often show up in the days following a treatment, though timing varies by dog and protocol. Log daily so your vet can see the pattern for your pet.
- Are side effects in dogs as severe as in people?
- Many dogs tolerate chemotherapy with milder effects than people expect, but every dog differs. Track what you actually observe and share it with your oncology team.
- What should I do if my dog won't eat after chemo?
- Note it in the app and contact your veterinary team, since persistent appetite loss needs attention. The app records the trend but does not advise on treatment.
- Can the app tell me if a side effect is dangerous?
- No. It only stores your entries. Judging severity is for your veterinarian, so call them with any concerns.
- Does this app replace my oncology team's guidance?
- No. Chemotherapy must be managed by your veterinary team. This app is only a tracking tool and is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
