Why Your Dog Needs a Digital Health Passport

The paper booklet problem

If you've had a dog for more than a year, you've probably experienced at least one of these:

• You can't find the health booklet when you need it
• You're not sure if the last booster was in March or May
• The vet's handwriting is impossible to read
• You're at the border and realise you left the documents at home

These are not edge cases, they're everyday frustrations for millions of dog owners. And they're completely avoidable.

What is a digital health passport?

A digital health passport is a smartphone app that replaces, or supplements: the paper booklet. It stores:

• Vaccination history with dates, batch numbers, and vet details
• Vet visit records with diagnosis, treatment, and cost
• Medication logs with dosage and schedule
• Parasite treatments with automatic countdown to next dose
• Weight measurements on a trend chart

Everything is in one place, always with you, and impossible to lose.

5 reasons to switch now

1. Smart reminders

Paper booklets don't notify you when a booster is due. A digital passport sends push notifications 30, 7, and 1 day before every deadline: so you never miss a vaccination again.

2. PDF export in seconds

Planning a trip abroad? Need to show vaccination history at a dog hotel? Generate a professional PDF health report in one tap. No printer, no rushing.

3. Family sharing

Multiple people care for your dog. A partner, parents, a dog sitter. With family sharing, everyone sees the same up-to-date health history. No more "did you give the medication?"

4. Accessible anywhere

Whether you're at the vet, at the border, or in an emergency clinic abroad: your dog's complete health history is on your phone. No paperwork required.

5. Never lose it

Paper wears out, gets wet, gets left behind. Digital records live in the cloud, backed up automatically, and available on any device linked to your account.
