Dental disease is one of the most common problems in dogs, and prevention is all about consistency. PetHealthLog lets you log brushing, dental chews and additives, keep a streak going, and note any gum or breath changes - so daily dental care doesn't quietly slip. Free, no account, works offline.
Vets recommend regular tooth brushing and dental chews for dogs, but the reality is that daily dental care is easy to start and easy to let slide. A few missed days become a few missed weeks, and the plaque builds up quietly until the next check-up.
Because it's a slow, preventive routine, there's no immediate feedback to keep you going - which is exactly why a simple streak and log make a difference. Seeing the run of days you've kept up, and catching a gap early, is what keeps dental care on track.
PetHealthLog is free, needs no account and works offline, so logging a brush or a dental chew takes a second and builds into a record you can actually keep up with.
What the tracker actually does
Log brushing, chews and additives
Add tooth brushing, dental chews, water additives or a dental diet - whatever your routine is - and tick each as you do it.
Keep a consistency streak
A visible run of days keeps the daily habit going and makes a missed day obvious before it becomes a missed week.
Note gum and breath changes
Jot a quick note if the breath worsens or the gums look red, so you can flag it at the next vet visit rather than forgetting.
Weight and vet visits in one record
Keep cleanings and vet visits on the same private timeline as the daily care.
A vet-ready PDF
Take a clean record of the home dental routine to the next dental check-up.

How often should I brush my dog's teeth?
Many vets suggest daily brushing as the gold standard, with dental chews and additives as helpful extras rather than replacements - but the right routine for your dog is a conversation with your veterinarian. The tracker's job is to help you keep up whatever routine you and your vet decide on.
Do dental chews replace brushing?
Generally they're considered a useful addition rather than a full replacement for brushing, but it depends on the product and your dog. Your vet can advise what fits your dog; the tracker just helps you stay consistent with it.
Does it work offline?
Yes. PetHealthLog is a progressive web app that works offline, so you can tick off a brush or a chew without a connection.
Is this a substitute for veterinary advice?
No. PetHealthLog is a record-keeping tool, not veterinary advice. Dental disease should be assessed and treated by a licensed veterinarian; the tracker just helps you keep the home routine consistent.
Informational only - not veterinary advice. PetHealthLog helps you keep records and stay organised, but it does not diagnose, prescribe, or decide your pet's treatment. Diagnosis and any plan should be decided with a licensed veterinarian.

When to contact a vet immediately
A tracker is for patterns over time — it is not for emergencies. Contact a veterinarian or an emergency clinic right away if your pet has difficulty breathing, collapses or cannot stand, has a seizure that does not stop or seizures that repeat, is straining to urinate without producing urine, has severe bleeding, or may have swallowed something toxic (see ASPCA Animal Poison Control).
