A log for the whole dog
Log a pee, a meal, a walk, a dose of medicine or a weigh-in with one tap. Lucky Dog Log watches the gaps between them, works out how long your dog usually goes, and tells you when that much time has passed — and why it’s telling you.
How it works — in four chapters
Seventeen things a dog does, on one screen. Pee, poop, water, food, a treat, teeth, grooming, a nail trim, a probiotic: one tap and it’s logged, nothing else required. A walk or a nap gets a running clock. Medicine, a vaccine, a weight get the detail they need and no more.
Long-press any tile to backdate it or add a note, so the common case never pays for the rare one.
Every dog has a rhythm, and it isn’t the average. A dog who goes out every two hours all day and then holds it for eight overnight has no moment that looks like five. So the app takes the typical gap and trims the long ones — the overnight, the afternoon you forgot to log — until what’s left is how your dog actually spends a day.
It says how sure it is. A rhythm it isn’t confident about is shown, but never fires a notification.
The reminder says the dog’s name and says why it fired. That sentence is the product: you can agree with it, or glance at the dog and decide it’s wrong, because it told you its reasoning. Quiet hours are respected — except for medicine, on purpose.
Reminders are computed on the phone. No account, no signal, no server: it works in a back yard at six in the morning.
Invite the people who help look after them — a partner, a sitter, the neighbour with a key. Everyone sees the same log, everyone can add to it, and the reminders fire on every phone. A dog you don’t share never leaves yours.
Got a vet’s invoice or a vaccination record? Photograph it and the app proposes the entries it finds — the vaccine, the medicine and its instructions, the day’s weight. You tick what to keep. Nothing is written until you say so.
One tap from the watch face; the walk clock runs while your phone stays in the kitchen. Android and the web follow: see where each platform stands.
The part we won’t pretend at
Lucky Dog Log records what you observe. A weight or a temperature is shown against a typical range as a cue for you, and nothing more: no screen will ever call a number “high” or “abnormal”, because a phone doesn’t know your dog and your vet does.
What it can do is put the whole record in your hand at the appointment — when the last dose was, how the weight has moved, how often she’s really been going out — instead of “I think it was Tuesday?”
The dog is the point. They get a face, a name, an age and a profile that holds the things you’re always asked for and can never find: the microchip, the rabies tag, the insurance policy, the after-hours vet.
