Smart phones are here to stay and they are getting better with
each new version released. I happen to be an iPhone owner and I love,
love, love it! The smart phone is not only a phone, but a camera, video
device, day planner, plays music, has email, internet, books, games, a
flashlight, and so much more all in one small portable device that fits
in your pocket. If you want to make life a little easier or a little
more fun, there is an app for it.
With
more than 150,000 apps available for the iPhone alone, and new ones
being added daily, it can be overwhelming to keep up on what is new, hot
and actually useful. There are a number of apps geared towards our
pets and the lifestyles of pet owners. Whether you need to track your
dog's vet appointments, organize their medical information, find the
nearest pet store, or locate a dog park in an unfamiliar city, there is
an app out there.
Below are four pet apps available for the iPhone. They are reasonably priced, convenient, and may be useful for some of you diehard iPhone/pet owners.
MiPets $1.99: Keeping a binder of your pet's health is important but it is not practical to carry with you at all times. MiPets app solves this dilemma by tracking vet appointments, microchip numbers, medications, food/diet information, etc. The number of pets you can track is unlimited and files can be e-mailed which is handy if you are changing vets or boarding your pet.
Pet Safe $2.99: Do you know what plants are toxic to animals? The Pet Safe app does. It contains a searchable database of plants harmful to dogs, cats and horses. The Pet Safe app is compiled by an expert toxicologist from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The app has toxicity symptoms for each plant and a direct link to the Animal Poison Control Center hotline. A portion of the proceeds go to the ASPCA.
PetSnap $1.99: We all love pictures of our dogs. Getting your furry friend to look at the camera can be challenging. The PetSnap app has 32 different sounds to catch your dog's attention. Crank up the volume on your phone and start snapping away. Once you have taken the perfect shot, frame it and send it to friends and family.
PawTrotter $2.99: Need to find a dog friendly business? This can be a challenge especially when you are traveling and unfamiliar with the area. The PawTrotter app has more than 130,000 pet stores, dog friendly hotels, veterinarians, and dog parks. You do not even need to enter an address, the app uses the iPhone's GPS to pin point your location and find businesses near you.
