Itching has patterns. Let’s find them.

Why Tracking Your Pet’s Itch Changes Everything

It’s easy to get stuck in the same cycle:

Allergies feel unpredictable but the patterns are always there. They’re just buried in tiny daily moments most parents don’t catch.
Because no one told them what to look for.

Studies show one simple truth:
Patterns appear best when you track daily - NOT when you are relying on memory.

Daily Tracking Helps:

  • Spot early warning changes in as little as 7-14 days.

  • Catch tiny patterns you’d never notice on your own

  • See whether a treatment is actually helping

  • Reduce flare-ups and avoid unnecessary vet visits

  • Make every vet appointment more productive (and less stressful!)

Our Tracker Gives You:

  • A daily log that takes 30 seconds. No overwhelm. A Simple Repeatable Habit.

  • Space to record where & when your pet itches. These location-based patterns that vets rely on for diagnosis.

  • Track symptoms, treatments, and environmental changes all in one place. This helps uncover hidden triggers (pollen, heat, stress, food changes)

  • Designed by a veterinarian. Kind, simple, and actually usable for busy but caring pet parents.
