TCB Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just curious what's the most common media that people use nowadays to keep track of when treatments have been done/are due. Ie. Calendar, Phone App, Computer Program etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I schedule everything for standard, easy to remember times. Anything that is 3 monthly such as worming gets done at the start of each season, Anything monthly gets done on the first of the month and anything yearly gets done at the start of the year.

Yonjuro Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have an app called Pet Phone, it does exactly what you are talking about. I looked at quite a few different ones and this seemed to tick all the boxes. There is also a weight chart and you can keep track of food intake etc. Pretty sure it is available on Android as well as mac https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pet-phone/id298342540?mt=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise+Hudson Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Google calender synced to the iphone, that way I can always check it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podengo Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Google calendar synced to my smartphone :) Edited February 25, 2014 by DiscoDobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Calendar on Outlook on my computer. I also have filed every piece of paper ever generated by vets. Also normal paper calendars: one in study and one in kitchen .. the places I spend most of the time. Rain hail or shine, I am on my computer at some stage throughout each day, so that is the best place - I put all reminders in Calendar on Outlook and the thing is recurring events can be scheduled for years ahead and not deleted until done.

minimax Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Reminder on my phone, also calendar in the kitchen (everyone in the house has their own column on the calender for their schedule and events, pugs included :laugh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosetta Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Simple desk calendar. The main thing is to use something you know you will look at every day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I use an app called iPetCare on my phone. You can add in all types of treatments from vaccinations, worming treatments, flea/tick and it also has weight management so you can track and record your pet's weight. There's space to add dietary requirements and I love that it has a place for your pet's DOB and tells you their age down to years and months.

aliwake Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 This inspired me to look for an app - found one called 'pet planner' for android, which seems pretty good. You can have multiple pets, and multiple treatments etc. And it's free :) I wish I'd thought to have it to track his weight when he was a pup!

Sash Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I just have reoccurring reminders set up on my Google calendars so they pop up on the computer and on my phone as they're due. I also tend to do everything in the first few days of the month so the end of one month is always a prompt to make sure I haven't run out of anything in time for the next treatment.

denali Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I just remember the general time they get it - Mid month. I write the exact day i give it to them on the box and will usually leave the box out during the mid week of the month so i dont forget it the day its due :) And then rewrite the date so i always know when it was last given.

minimax Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 This just reminded me that my alarm to do the flea/tick stuff went off last night and I forgot to do it. So, even the best systems fail when you dismiss the alarm without actually doing anything :p Off to do it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vehs Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 boys get a monthly wormer at the start of every month. I used to have a cute little clock that the vet gave me but when it ran out of batteries a few years ago you couldn't replace them. This way is easy, I have labeled all the sachets so if we 'think' we didn't do it we can check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdashdot Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Start of the month means worming time and flea/tick treatment as well. When fortnightly application is needed, mid month as well. I just remember, I don't use apps on my phone for anything (I have a smart phone but I don't use it for smart stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Monthly spot at the beginning of the month. I also use MS Outlook synced with my iPhone to keep a track of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elise+Hudson Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I was fine doing it into my head till I moved to QLD and needed to add in fortnightly advantix to the mix, now I get confused if I don't have it written down somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
