Set a schedule once and PetHealthLog keeps every dose on track - including the doses you would otherwise miss. Built for senior dogs, chronic conditions, and busy multi-pet homes.

If your dog is on daily medication, you already know the quiet anxiety of it. Was the morning pill given, or did someone in the house assume the other person did it? Did the twice-a-day antibiotic actually get its second dose? For a senior dog managing a chronic condition, the schedule can stack up fast: a heart medication in the morning, a joint supplement at lunch, an evening tablet with food. Miss one and you are left guessing whether to give it late or skip it.
Most owners try to hold all of this in their head or scribble it on the fridge. That works until a vacation, a sick day, or a simple distracted morning breaks the routine. A dedicated dog medication reminder app removes the guesswork - but many of them want an account, an internet connection, or a subscription before they will even let you log the first dose.
PetHealthLog takes the opposite approach. It is free, it asks for no account, and it works offline. You open it, add your dog's medications, and it does the remembering for you.
A reminder is only useful if it survives a missed day. Here is what PetHealthLog does differently.
Add a medication with how many doses it needs per day. The app shows you what is due and lets you mark each dose logged with one tap, so you always know what has and hasn't been given today.
If the app was closed when a dose came due - overnight, or while your phone was in your pocket all day - it catches those doses up the moment you reopen it and shows them as due now. A late dose is never silently dropped, so you can decide what to do instead of wondering whether it happened.
Every day you log your dog's care builds an adherence streak. Life happens, so a single missed day is forgiven by a streak-freeze rather than wiping your progress - the gentle nudge that keeps a daily routine from quietly falling apart.
Log a symptom with a simple 1-to-5 severity, note appetite or food, and record weight over time. When meds and symptoms sit on one timeline, it is far easier to see whether a treatment is helping - and to show your vet a clear history at the next visit.
Keep a separate profile for each pet. Multi-dog households and owners caring for a senior dog on several medications can manage everyone without mixing up schedules.
Your dog's medication history is sensitive, and it is also something you need at the worst possible moments - at the emergency vet, on a trip, or when your signal drops. An app that depends on a login and a server can fail you exactly then.
PetHealthLog stores everything locally on your device. There is no account to create, nothing is uploaded to a server, and there is no tracking. That means it opens instantly, works on a plane or in a basement clinic, and your records stay yours. Because the data lives only on your device, you can export a backup any time and restore it on another phone.
Free, offline, and ready the moment you open it.

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).
