When your pet can’t tell you what’s wrong
PawLife keeps track of the small things: what your pet ate, how they moved, how they slept. When the pattern shifts, you see it early, and you hear it plainly when waiting is the wrong call.
PawLife doesn’t diagnose anything, and it never stands in for your vet.
That familiar feeling
You know your pet better than anyone. In an anxious moment, memory and intuition still aren’t enough.
One skipped breakfast feels like nothing. Then you’re sitting there trying to remember what the last three days looked like.
Without the usual picture it’s hard to tell a random off-day from the start of something serious.
The notes are in one place, the prescription is a photo somewhere, and the decision has to be made tonight.
Uncertainty grows faster than the symptom: “let’s keep an eye on it” turns into hours of searching, doubt and guilt.
Instead of anxious searching
Not another screen full of numbers. A plain answer: what’s normal for your pet, what to keep an eye on, and when it’s time to act.
Meals, walks, weight and sleep add up to a picture you recognize, so anything unusual stands out by itself. You never have to keep a spreadsheet.
A calm symptom check and your pet’s full history get you to the right question for the vet, instead of a night spent searching for a diagnosis.
Care routines, food safety and documents stay in one place, and a quiet reminder arrives when something is due.
When worry becomes clarity
“You stop googling symptoms at night. You see what changed, you know what to watch — and when it’s really time to call the vet.”
Features
Every note feeds the same story: health, feeding, care and documents, shared with everyone at home.
Powered by AI
Ask anything about nutrition, health, behavior or a breed's quirks. The answers already know your pet's profile, weight history and medical records, so you don't have to explain the backstory first.
Passport, prescriptions, insurance, discharge summaries: every paper in one vault, with PDF import and multi-page documents.
Snap a photo of any vet document. The AI pulls out diagnoses, medications and follow-ups, then files them as records.
Portions calculated from weight, age, breed and activity level. Log a meal straight from the reminder banner: fed, ate half, or refused.
Track food by the package: restock by the can or bag, and see how many days are left before you run out.
Weight trends charted over time, free. Set a target and the chart tells you how much is left, how fast it's going, and when you'll get there.
Log symptoms, energy and appetite changes. The calendar view is where patterns become obvious.
Log consistency, color and frequency. Digestive trouble usually shows up here before it shows up anywhere else.
Vaccinations, surgeries, lab work, dental and exams. The whole history is there when the vet asks for it.
Reminders that keep doses on time, with dosage tracking, backdated doses for the one you forgot to log, and one-tap re-prescribing.
A daily diary with mood, tags, notes and photos. The AI writes a weekly recap and points out behavioral patterns you might not have noticed.
Export the full health history as a vet-ready PDF: nutrition data, weight charts and medical records.
Deworming, flea and tick, grooming: treatments that repeat on schedule and remind you before they come due.
Store the policy with its end date and get a reminder before it lapses. Vet due dates go to your calendar in one tap.
Invite your whole household. Everyone sees the feeding status, everyone can log a meal, and nobody double-feeds the dog.
Is this safe for your pet? Look it up: 500+ foods rated by toxicity, each with the reasoning behind the rating.
Browse food database →Point the camera at a food label. The AI reads the ingredients and nutrition panel and tells you whether it suits your pet.

Lost-pet QR tag
Print the tag from the app and clip it to the collar. Whoever finds your pet scans it with a phone camera and sees your phone number, your notes and the microchip number. They don’t need the app, an account, or anything installed.
The app generates the code. Paper, a sticker or an engraved tag, whatever survives your walks.
Any phone camera opens your pet’s page. They reach you in seconds instead of driving a found dog around the neighborhood.
And the person holding the leash has just seen what PawLife does. That’s how a lot of owners first hear about us.
It’s in the free plan. The tag has never been behind the paywall.
