Every time you schedule the next vaccination (or antiparasitic treatment, worming treatment or an appointment at the vet’s), an alert (local notification) is automatically set for that date at 8 a.m.

The Notes feature allows you to record all types of events in the life of your pet. For example, the previous vaccinations, the care it received, the exhibitions in which it participated and so on.

You can enter an unlimited number of notes for each animal: select the “Notes” cell and tap the “+” button to add a new note.

A note includes the following information:

• a date in the past or future
• a title
• a photo / image (optional)
• a text description (optional)

The list of notes is presented in reverse chronological order, i.e. from the newest to the oldest.

Go to the animal’s description then hit the “Notes” label, which will display the list of previously entered comments. You can add, modify or delete notes in the same way as weight measures.

Notes can help you keep track of any information regarding your pet, whether past or future facts/events. You can even add a picture to each note, in a similar way to the pet picture.

A badge appears when you are late for a scheduled action for one of your pets (if you have forgotten a vaccination, for instance). The badge indicates the number of late actions for all your pets.

Go to the animal’s description then hit the “Edit” button in the navigation bar. Hit the camera icon and select whether you want to take a picture or use one from your library.

Go to the animal’s description then hit the “Edit” button in the navigation bar. Scroll down and hit “Weight”. You can then input a weight measure using the sliding bars and the date the measure was performed on.

Go to the animal’s description, scroll down and hit “List” (located under the “Weight” label). You can add, modify and delete weight measures from there.

Go to the RSS articles page then hit “Bookmarks” in the navigation bar. This will display the current list of active RSS feeds. Hit the “+” button, and indicate the name of the feed and its complete URL address.

You can set the dates for the upcoming scheduled treatment for each of your pets: vaccination, flea treatment, worm treatment.

If you leave the default value (“Never”) for the treatment recurrence, the application will send you a local notification on the scheduled day but will leave you to enter a new date for the next treatment.

On the other hand, if you choose any other value for the treatment recurrence (every month, every three months, etc.), the application will send you a local notification on the scheduled day and will also automatically schedule the next treatment the following day.

For example: It’s April 10th.

You schedule the date for the next flea treatment on April 20th, with the recurrence frequency set to “Every month”.

On April 20th at 8a.m., you will receive a local notification (alert) reminding you of the flea treatment.

On April 21st, the application will automatically schedule the next flea treatment for a month later, i.e. on May 20th.

You can nonetheless modify the treatment dates anytime you want.

Application data backup is a built-in feature of your iPhone-iPad and iTunes, as long as you regularly synchronize your device with iTunes on your PC or Mac.

At the beginning of the syncing process, iTunes saves the following data from your device:

• Contacts and Contact favorites
• App Store Application data
• Application settings, preferences and data
• Music, videos, photos, etc.

When you change your device, or even with your current device, you are able to restore that backup with iTunes. You will thus be able to retrieve all the data and content saved during the last syncing.

For more information about backup saving and restoring, please visit: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=us_US

You can also use the “iTunes Database export” feature (see below) to run an individual backup of your application data. Be careful to properly save the “Database_Export.db” file on your PC or Mac.

Running iOS 5 or higher with a valid iCloud account, you can export your application database from your device to another device (iPhone, iPad or iPod touch) using the same iCloud account.

A) From your source device (device A):

• select About, Settings, Database Management, Import Export
• select “iCloud – Export Database”

B) From your target device (device B):

• select About, Settings, Database Management, Import Export
• select “iCloud – Import Database”. Check that the date and time correspond to the file you exported from device A.
• just confirm the import by clicking on “Yes” in order to replace the former database of device B by the one just transferred from device A.

Once finished, device B contains exactly the same app data as device A.

Note 1: iCloud sync may take several minutes to complete, especially when data size is large and Internet connection, slow.

Note 2: if you have just installed and launched the app on device B, you are advised to wait a few minutes for the app to sync with iCloud, before exporting your data from device A.

This process will allow you to export your application database to another device.

Note 1: the Export feature can be used to back up your app database: in this case, select the ‘Database_Export.db’ file in iTunes, and click on ‘Save to’ to back it up on the chosen support (hard disk, USB storage, etc.).

Note 2: another way to back up your device is to Sync it with iTunes.
