The Pet Health+ guide
How to get the most out of Pet Health+ on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, one feature at a time.
Adding a pet and a vaccination takes a minute and needs no guide. This one covers everything after that: logging what the vet gave, reminders that reach you on the Lock Screen and your wrist, proof of vaccination for a kennel, and keeping it all safe.
Written for Pet Health+ 3.8.1 on iOS and iPadOS 26.
