There’s an app for everything! I have lots of apps on my iPhone and iPad, and many of these apps are taking up huge amounts of memory.
Recently, I had to do an “app clean-up” on my iPhone. I decided just to keep apps that I often use and are important. I also made an “app list” of new apps and apps I might have the need to reinstall. Right now on my iPhone, I have 5 apps; 4 apps I frequently use and 1 I am currently testing.
5 Apps For Pet Owners
1. ResQwalk
An app we previously shared: Walk Your Dog, Help A Rescue with ResQwalk #Walk4Animals. ResQwalk, a free app, has gone through several updates. Basically, ResQwalk allows you to help a rescue group while you walk your dog. Watch the video below for more information.
ResQwalk is a must have for every dog owner – great way to help a shelter pet one step at a time.
2. Pet First Aid by American Red Cross
I had this app since 2014, it cost $.99, now it’s free to download. This app is handy for an emergency. It offers simple step by step directions on what to do in a situation when your pet requires first aid. During our road trips, the locator feature identifies the nearest AAHA vet hospitals and urgent care which became very useful.
3. Animal Poison Control Center (APCC)
A free app from ASPCA. It’s a compilation (with photographs) of toxic plants, food, medication, household and weather hazards. This app has been very handy on our nature walks. Sugar is always curious about plants and flowers.
4. Bring Fido
This free app has gone through several updates. Bring Fido is known for their dog travel directory. This app provides a list of dog friendly hotels (which also allows you to book it), dining, parks & beaches and pet events (which I often use).
5. Activ4Pets : A New Approach to Pet Care
An app I’m currently checking and intend to use. Activ4Pets safely secure (encrypted platform) your pet’s health records.
You have the option to share this information with a vet, especially if you are seeking a second opinion. Activ4Pets also allows you to access a network of worldwide veterinarians who can provide a second medical opinion. However, this feature comes with a membership fee of $50/year up to 4 pets. The free membership only lets you save basic information such as pet ID, emergency and veterinarian contacts, but you’ll have access to Activ4Pets pet loving community. Curious about Activ4Pets app? I invite you to check out Activ4Pet.com.
What pet related apps do you have on your iPhone?
we will look if the fido app and the aspca app will work for europe too… many thanks for great tips Sugar!
You are so right! There are apps for EVERYTHING. I too have started streamlining the number of apps I keep on my phone. Some on your list I’ve not heard of – so I will bookmark them and check out. Thanks
Sugar don’t BOL…but my mom still uses a flip phone
Hugs madi your bfff
We use those cool apps
Snorts,

Think the Activ4Pets app. is a terrific way to keep track of data, especially if you travel and need to access it in an emergency situation. Technology is a powerful tool that can and should be harnessed for our pets’ well-being. Thanks for sharing info about all of these apps!
Mom hardly ever even uses her phone – she keeps it around for emergencies basically. The only apps she has on it are the weather and tide times 🙂
I love these apps. I am contacting our local Humane Society to get them signed up on ResQWalk.
Thanks. I haven’t gotten another pup since BJ died, and I’ll save them for when I get a pup.
Thanks for this post, Sugar! I’ve been looking for a good app for tracking Shadow’s and Ducky’s info. I will check out Activ4Pets for sure. It’s time for me to delete some of my apps, too.
Great app suggestions! I just downloaded a few of them. It’s always great to have quick access to health and animal hospital information in case of an emergency.
Thanks for the information!
Bring Fido would be great for us but it only is compatible with the iPhone. If they develop it for Android I’d definitely add it. Walk for a Dog has stopped working for us so I’ll check out ResQWalk.
