Keeping a record
How to keep a pet care record
What happened, when, and who noticed. A simple way to keep the details, with a daily log you can copy.
What your family says becomes each pet’s record.
Tailogue is a group chat for your household, with an assistant in it. Say “fed Luna and Momo”, or send a photo from the walk — it is written down for the right pet, with who said it and when.
Say it. It’s recorded.
No forms and no drafts to approve. Tailogue writes down what was said, puts the right face on it, and shows you what it wrote.
A message, a voice note, or a photo. When the photo shows who it was, Tailogue knows. When two look alike, it asks — with its guess already picked.
The whole household talks in one place. One sentence can be several records: “Bori and Dori had hay” is a meal each, on one line.
Every pet gets a thread: their day in order, with the photos, and who was there. Got something wrong? One tap takes it back; the history stays.
Their week, counted. Their month, kept.
How many walks, how many meals finished, the weight against the last weigh-in — counts from what your family said, each one opening the entries behind it. And the good days, collected: the photos of their month, with the words that came with them. A photo kept as a record of a symptom never ends up there.
Ready for the vet.
Open a summary before the appointment: every time something was noticed, when it was said to have happened, in the words that were used, and who saw it. “Around five” stays around five. Nothing is guessed, and nothing is diagnosed — it is the record, for the person who can read it.
Care, shared.
A partner, a sitter, the friend who walks her on Thursdays. Everyone in the household is in the same chat and sees the same record, and every entry says who added it — so “did anyone feed her?” has an answer, and “give Luna her pill at 8” is on everyone’s day.
We remember.
We don’t pretend to know.
We don’t diagnose.
Tailogue counts and dates what you recorded and shows the entries behind every answer. It never names a condition or a cause. When something needs a vet, the answer is a vet.
We don’t overwrite.
A correction is a new entry; the old one stays in the record’s history. What you knew on the day is never rewritten by what you learned later.
Reminders you set are yours.
They go off at the time you set them. Muting the assistant never silences one.
Questions.
Which animals?
Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds — the record does not mind what species. Five animals in one household is fine; the chat asks which one when nobody said.
Do I have to use the assistant?
No. Tap + Log on a pet and enter it yourself. When the assistant writes something down, it shows you exactly what, and anything new it made can be undone with one tap.
Does it tell me what is wrong with my pet?
Never. It shows you what you recorded, counted and dated. It does not name conditions, causes or likelihoods. For that, a vet — and a record to bring them.
Who can see my pet’s records?
The people in your household, and nobody else. Your records are not public and are not sold.
iPhone or Android?
Both. Two of us build it — one on each phone.
