PetBuddy: Catch issues early

About this app

PetBuddy helps pet parents answer the question that shows up at the worst time: Does this need a vet, or is this a vet visit I may not need right now? When your dog throws up at 2am, your cat acts off, a rash appears, or you are staring at a food label wondering if it is safe, PetBuddy helps you think clearly before panic takes over. Add your pet’s breed, age, weight, allergies, medications, health conditions, and notes. Then ask a question or upload a photo. PetBuddy uses that context to help you understand red flags, urgency, what to watch, and whether the next step looks like monitoring, calling your vet, or seeking urgent care. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH PETBUDDY Safety Chat Ask about symptoms, behavior changes, foods, toys, routines, and everyday pet-care worries. PetBuddy walks you through what to check now, what not to do, follow-up questions, and when to escalate to a vet. Sick Camera Take or upload a photo of vomit, stool, skin, eyes, wounds, bumps, swelling, discharge, or anything that looks off. PetBuddy gives visible-context guidance, urgency cues, and clear next steps. Photos are guidance only and do not diagnose. Food Scanner Scan food labels, ingredient lists, packaging, or unknown items. PetBuddy flags common concerns like chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, xylitol, allergies, species mismatch, and foods that need closer review. Toy Scanner Check toys, chews, and household objects for visible choking, ingestion, breakage, batteries, strings, stuffing, squeakers, sharp pieces, or size risks. Pet Profiles Create profiles for multiple pets with species, breed, age, sex, weight, height, allergies, medications, conditions, and notes, so guidance feels less generic. Health Journal Log symptoms, weight, vet visits, and changes over time. Spot patterns and bring clearer notes to your vet. Breed Scanner Estimate possible breed traits from a photo, including activity, grooming, and common health watchouts. Estimates are informational only. Soothing Sounds Use calming audio for stress, restlessness, frustration, and bedtime settling. EMERGENCY GUIDANCE STAYS AVAILABLE If PetBuddy detects emergency red flags like toxin exposure, breathing distress, GDV/bloat signs, urinary blockage indicators, eye emergencies, or severe symptoms, emergency guidance stays available even without a subscription. Premium unlocks unlimited non-emergency chats, scans, saved reports, and ongoing pet-management tools. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE PetBuddy is guidance only, not veterinary care. It does not diagnose, prescribe medication, replace a licensed veterinarian, certify food or toys as 100% safe, or reassure emergency-level symptoms. For urgent symptoms, possible toxin exposure, or medical concerns, contact a licensed veterinarian, emergency vet, or animal poison control. SUBSCRIPTIONS PetBuddy Premium is available monthly or annually. The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions auto-renew at the price shown in the app unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings -> Apple ID -> Subscriptions.
