We use smartphones every day, in almost every aspect of life, even when it comes to our pets. Some apps can ease pet care, and help us to create a better and safer environment for cats or dogs.
1. Pet First Aid
Sometimes it is required to help an injured or sick pet before seeing the vet. Pet First Aid app is provided by the American Red Cross and allows you to receive helpful information and instructions on how to react in a specific situation at any time.
Whether it’s a tip on how to bandage and disinfect the injured paw, or how to give a medication to your pet, on the app you’ll find many handy tutorials for everyday situations. In case of emergency, Pet First Aid app helps you to find the nearest vet hospital or a doctor on call.
2. Pet Phone

It helps you to remember scheduled appointments with veterinarians, medication and vitamin intake, or when your pet has to get another vaccine. Also, you can also control the weight of your dog to preserve his health. Pet Phone app stores all relevant information about your pet. You can easily forward them to your vet, so you do not have to remember them next time you visit him.
3. Whistle
Sometimes your pets can be notorious escapers. They are hyperactive and curious or just want to hang around the neighborhood. You can’t always give them all your attention whenever they want to. So they decide to do it on their own 🙂
Especially for cats, it’s hard to control them; because of their tinny anatomy, they can easily escape from the yard. If your pets like to run away from time to time, buying Whistle tracker may not be a bad idea. Place this GPS tracker on a collar and connect it to the Whistle application, which gives you timely information about the movement of your pet. You can set Whistle to react whenever your cat or dog leaves their safe area – at that point; you get a notification. There are also some additional features, such as speed, distance, or calorie consumption.
4. My Talking Pet

Think about what your dog or cat wants you to say to you, record that and have fun.
