Best pet health apps in 2026
If your vet clinic uses it, PetDesk handles appointments and reminders from the clinic itself. For a video visit with a vet from home, Vetster. To keep vaccines, vet visits and a daily care calendar yourself, Pet Care Tracker is free. On Android, SmartPet Vet checks whether a food or plant is safe for your pet and keeps a pet passport you can share as a PDF, and Pawsport keeps a dog’s vet passport and family care in one place.
How we picked: a pet health app has to remember vaccines and treatments for you and keep the records you need at the vet. We checked each app’s own store description for reminders, records, sharing and platforms. None of these apps diagnoses or treats; for anything urgent, call a vet.

Reminders and records you keep yourself
Pet Care Tracker is a free care calendar for dogs and cats with daily reminders, vaccination tracking, health records and activity logs. Pawsport keeps a dog’s vet passport with microchip number, documents and photos, reminds you about rabies and combination shots, deworming and tick and flea protection, and lets the whole family share one care journal; it can also start a search if a dog goes missing.
Can my dog eat this?
SmartPet Vet checks food, plants and household items for dogs, cats and small pets by text, photo or voice, calculates daily portions and logs weight. Its pet passport holds vaccines, medicines, allergies and lab results you can share as a PDF before an appointment, with reminders for vaccines, deworming and fleas. Its developer says the AI assistant gives informational guidance only, not diagnosis, and sends you to a vet for urgent symptoms. It runs on Android.
Your vet clinic and online vets
PetDesk connects you with the clinics, groomers and boarding places you use: appointment requests, reminders and messages in one place, as long as your clinic works with PetDesk. Vetster books online video visits with vets and, where available, prescriptions. For your own health records, see medication reminder apps.
