• Medication log: allowing you to record details of all of your pet’s medications, their doses and how often they should be given
• Medication reminders: allowing you to set up a reminder alarm for when you should give your pet their medication, allowing for separate alarms for each medication prescribed
• My Pet: allowing you to record your pet’s details, including information about their epilepsy diagnosis and tests carried out, a notes function to record any questions you want to ask your vet, and a contacts log to save details of relevant professionals to have quick access to
• Export function: allowing you to package and send your pet’s seizure diary, medication diary and medical history by email to your vet or any other email account
• Sharing function: for you to anonymously share your pet’s medical history, seizure and medication diaries with the RVC to contribute to future research into canine epilepsy
• Educational material: a wealth of information is included in the app, from the basics of what epilepsy is, how it is diagnosed and identifying different seizure types, to practical advice on what to do when a seizure strikes and good medication practice.

Ratings and Reviews
Developer Feedback
Too soon to rate the app so I choose a neutral 3. Today, we learned that our furry family member has epilepsy. It was suggested that we start to keep a journal. It was also suggested that we keep track of time and/or take video. This app would be even more valuable if it included these features....a timer and video capture. Other than this improvement suggestion, the app is easy to navigate & use. Thanks!
Download Your Info Regularly
Keeping detailed records of your dog’s seizures is key to helping you and your vet minimize the negatives related to epilepsy. I was thrilled to learn of this app through a Facebook group that focuses on canine epilepsy. This past weekend the app stopped opening for many group members. The developer says they’re “working on it” but I fear all my info has been lost. Detailed seizure descriptions, medications and notes all gone. So if you do use this app -and can get it to load - figure out how to download the info you input in case the app stops working for you too.
UPDATE:
After a couple of weeks (apparently they ran into unforeseen complications) they got the app back up and running. ALL my info was there! I uploaded another seizure event and then downloaded my full log, just in case.
Fix the dates already
It seems people have been complaining about the problem with the days of the week showing incorrectly for years on this app. Recognizing triggers is very important with seizure treatment and when your app is saving incorrect info no matter what we enter in the log, it is not helpful! It consistently shows the date we enter but once saved, the day of the week is recorded incorrectly. Many people have discovered that their dogs seizures are a result of house cleaning or yard services and the chemicals being used that occur on a particular day of the week. Knowing the day of the week helps to recognize trends (triggers) so we know what to avoid and change! Fix this issue!
