APP by ASPCA is one of the essential dog apps out there. It provides a database of plants, hazards, foods, medications, and other materials that are toxic to your dog. The app also includes a calculator where you can calculate the estimated severity of the poisoning based on how big your dog is and by how much of the material they ate.

Dog Training

[Price: Free]
Dog Training is an app that gives you tips on how to train your dog. Most people have their own style when it comes to stuff like this. However, an app like this one can give you some pointers to help along the way. It includes tips, popular training methods, and popular tricks for common problems like getting your dog to stop barking or your puppy to stop biting. It’s another one of the better free dog apps, although this one does contain advertising.

DogVacay or Rover

[Price: Free]
DogVacay and Rover are two very reliable dog apps for those who need a sitter. DogVacay boasts well over 40,000 dog sitters and Rover boasts similar numbers. We’re sure there is some crossover from one to the other in that area. In any case, both services offer insurance, 24/7 support, and other little features. For instance, DogVacay has the sitter send images of the pet every day so you can see that they’re okay. Dealing with animals during trips, vacations, and other events can be rough. Apps like these can help and they do offer services for other animals as well.
You can grab DogVacay using the button below. Download Rover by clicking here!

MapMyDogWalk

[Price: Free]
MapMyDogWalk is an app that does exactly what it says it does. It lets you map out walks that you plan on taking with your dog. It uses Google Maps support to let you do things like create a route, find dog parks, dog-friendly restaurants (if listed), water fountains, and waste bag dispensers. You can also drag the pins around to alter your route as you see fit. The app also tracks the route length, time it takes to complete, speed, pace, and even calories burned. It’s not half bad for what it is.

Google Maps

[Price: Free]
Another great option for dog apps is Google Maps. Most of us use this one for things like finding restaurants, checking out traffic, and other daily activities. However, you can also use the service to find vets, dog parks, dog friendly restaurants and hotels, and map out dog walks. It doesn’t have fitness features like MapMyDogWalk, but it does everything else slightly better. It’s especially useful in emergencies when you need to find a vet open at all hours to help a sick pupper.

PetCoach

[Price: Free]
PetCoach is a newer app that helps you find free veterinary advice. It’s kind of like the WebMD for pets (aside from PetMD, of course). You can search for things like symptoms or behaviors and see if it’s symptomatic of anything potentially serious. You can also ask questions and get answers from vets, dog trainers, pet nutritionists, and other varieties of experts. It doesn’t substitute for a real visit to the vet, but it’s a good spot for some advice on smaller stuff. They also support other pets aside from dogs.

Pet First Aid by Red Cross

[Price: Free]
We don’t like to think about such things, but there is always a chance of something bad happening. Pet First Aid by the American Red Cross can help. It has detailed instructions on how to give enough emergency care and first aid to your dog until you can make it to a vet. It also has guides on administering medication, preventative care tools, and you can even program your vet’s number into the app to call them quickly if the app isn’t working. Perhaps the best part is that there are quizzes about the content so you can make sure you learn it. It’s a free app and you should get it.

Runtastic Running and Fitness

[Price: Free / Subscription up to $4.97 per month]
Runtastic Running and Fitness is one of the better fitness apps out there for humans. It lets you do a variety of things like plan your runs, map your runs, and give you stats about how well you’re doing. A great idea is to map out a good walk or run and take your dog with you. They need to stay in shape too! It may not be great as a standalone dog app, but it’s kind of like a human-oriented version of MapMyDogWalk. You can try out and use the basic features for free. The premium stuff will require a subscription.

Tractive GPS Pet Finder

[Price: Free]
Tractive GPS Pet Finder is an app that helps you find your lost pet. It’s a companion app for the Tractive GPS device and the two work in tandem so you always know where your dog is. You can do things like set up a virtual fence so you can get notified if the dog leaves their yard. You can also see a history of where they’ve been, track your dog in real time, and it’ll even reminder you when it’s time to charge up the actual GPS device. It’s a bit of an investment, but it’s better than printing out flyers and worrying when your dog goes missing.
