Medications

The Meds tab keeps a pet's daily and occasional medications: what to give, how much, when, and whether you did.

1. 1

   Add a medication. On the pet's Meds tab, tap +. Enter the Name and Dosage ("16 mg", "1 tablet"), then the Frequency: Once daily, Twice daily, Every other day, Weekly, Monthly or As needed. Set the Start Date, and an End Date for a course that ends.

2. 2

   Set its reminder. For twice-daily meds, turn on Morning and Evening separately, each with its own time; one of them is enough. Other schedules have one Daily Reminder with a time. You're reminded only on dose days: a weekly med reminds you once a week.

   

3. 3

   Check off a dose. On the Today card at the top of Meds, tap the circle beside the medication. Twice-daily meds show 1/2, then 2/2.

   

4. 4

   Skip a dose. Touch and hold the medication, choose Skip Dose, and add a reason if you want ("vomited", "vet said pause"). It's recorded as skipped, not missed.

   

5. 5

   Pause or stop. Touch and hold, then Stop Medication. Resume Medication brings it back with its reminder. A course that has ended can be extended with Extend.

6. 6

   See how it's going. Tap a medication: Consistency (30 days) shows the share of doses given, and Recent History lists each one.

   

• Mark as Done on the reminder notification logs one dose, for the day it was due.
• The Today's Care widget and the Apple Watch have a check button beside each dose due.
• Mark dose on the pet's Today tab jumps to Meds.

Medications are part of Pro. Without it the Meds tab shows a Pro badge.

• A monthly medication started on the 29th, 30th or 31st falls on the last day of shorter months.
• No reminder is ever set before the start date.
• A deleted medication waits 30 days in Settings → Recently Deleted.
• Ask your vet what's right for your pet.
