Prescriptions? Filled. Appointments? Set up. Specialist referrals? Streamlined...All with a decisive swipe of your index finger. With the explosion of mobile technology, VitusVet joins other terrific mobile applications – all with the same goal in mind: to help your pet get great care and to make pet care easier for you. What are some of the other helpful apps for pet owners? We’re glad you asked! ### With Health In Mind There’s no shortage of apps to entertain you or guide you, but those apps involving – or centering around – your pet’s health are definitely among the most helpful. For instance: - **Pup Tox** – Perhaps one of the most critical of mobile apps for pet owners, [Pup Tox](http://www.puptox.com/) informs you of what your pet should not be exposed to, and what to do if a questionable ingredient is consumed. But don’t let the name fool you: it’s not just for dogs. - **Red Cross** – Every pet owner hopes to never need to use pet [first aid](http://www.redcross.org/mobile-apps/pet-first-aid-app) or CPR, but having the information available when you need it is absolutely critical. - **Map My Dog Walk** – This [app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mapmydogwalk-brought-to-you/id492760186?mt=8), made possible by Subaru, allows you to track walks or hikes with your dog. By measuring speed, duration, distance, and elevation via GPS, you can reach fitness goals together. ### Speaking Of GPS... If you happen to be traveling out of town, or just looking for new pet-friendly opportunities, the [Bring Fido](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bringfido-pet-friendly-hotels/id682820712?mt=8) app is your one-stop shop. From pet friendly hotels around the country to eateries, and from beaches to parks, this GPS-centered app has all of your pet’s needs covered. Also, the [Tagg](http://www.pettracker.com/) Pet Tracker uses your mobile device’s GPS signal to locate your pet if he or she happens to slip outside. Your pet has to wear a tracker on his or her collar, but if you're ever looking for your pet, your phone will help you narrow down the search perimeter. ### Behavioral Apps For Pet Owners When training your pet to follow commands, perform tricks, or use the bathroom, you guessed it: there’s an app for that! - **Clicker Training** – If you are like us, one device is all you need. When using clicker [dog training](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dog-clicker-training/id580952069?mt=8), you can easily turn your phone into the clicker device required for positive training. - **Potty Breaks** – [Puppy Coach](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puppy-coach-101/id415665352?mt=8) is a fun, eye-catching mobile app that can help you train your dog’s bathroom schedule, among other worthy endeavors. - **Dog Whistle** – This [app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=proffesionals.dog.whistle.cat.repelent&hl=en) can help a pet respond to commands via high frequencies. Although not a substitute for proper or professional training, this app could come in handy if you are attempting to get your pet to come home or to quiet down. - **Pet Acoustics** – Many pet owners struggle with an anxious pet and could potentially benefit from sharing soothing sounds and music from the [pet acoustics](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pet-acoustics/id333229175?mt=8) app. It’s always worth a try! ### VitusVet App For Pet Owners Our own [VitusVet app](http://vitusvet.com/for-pet-owner/) ensures that you always have your pet’s complete medical records at your fingertips.
