Hound - Family Pet Care

I care for an elderly dog who has had some GI problems and tracking his food precisely has made a big difference. Hound accomplishes this simply and effectively, helping me count his calories and track his bowel movements. I tried several different apps and this one does the job simply and effectively without unnecessary requirements.

I have been using this app for a year now and loved it till the last update. It was better when you could insert the exact time.

This app is good for most part. 1 thing I didn’t understand is why we have to be connected to a server just to log our data? Please make it able to log our data OFFLINE as the adventurous ones go places without reception in the mountains and rivers. Not everyone wants to be in the city connected to WiFi or cell connection. Please make it able to log OFFLINE. Then when reception is available it can then upload the log that was stored OFFLINE. UPDATE: 11/18/23 I cannot access the app because it says the server is down and can’t connect to my account through Apple ID. This is a good app, too bad there is issues with being able to connect offline. App is not usable.

We have two dogs that caught kennel cough at the groomer. The vet put them on a steroid that made them very thirsty. Our previously house trained dogs started pee’ing all over the house. Aargh! So I downloaded Hound and set it up to remind me to take them out every 45 min. It was a huge effort, but it worked. After a week, their dosage went down and they didn’t pee so much. I could take them out every 1.5h, and not have accidents. Whew. The repeated reminders were a huge help.

The app has been useful, and while I do appreciate the latest update, beware that it did overwrite all my logged data unexpectedly.

I’m so excited to see what this app will develop into! So far it’s been very user friendly and is great for people wanting to be the best pet parents possible. My one suggestion for development is to allow custom actions to be saved. My 12yr old pug has joint pain that I want to start tracking (hence searching the app stores and finding this). It stinks having to type “pain monitoring” every time.

Does exactly what’s advertised with no adds or annoyances.

This app is just what we needed. It does a great job keeping a log of our dog’s schedule. Great to know that the developer is already working on a server version that will allow to sync between my wife.

The site has crash 3 times for me in less than 6 months! Loses all the data & you have to start over again! Don’t use, it’s a waste of time!

He used to be not ok but now I remember to always take care of him
