Where they differ
A log of the day, or a record of what changed
CovePet keeps the things the vet will ask about: a symptom, a dose, a weight, dated to the minute and grouped into one concern when they belong together. The day’s walks are not the point.
DogLog is built to log the whole day, and it does that well: walks, meals, potty breaks, with a pack of people logging into the same dog.
One page for the visit
CovePet turns the relevant records into one page you control, behind a link you can switch off after the visit.
DogLog gives you charts and a stats page. The vet gets what you show them on your phone.
The whole house
Dogs and cats, and a record for each. Half of our own house is cats.
DogLog is for dogs.
What each app is built for
CovePet does not try to be the other app. Both export your data, so trying one does not trap your notes.
Choose DogLog when
- A walker or a sitter logs your dog’s day with you.
- You want charts of the routine as well as the health notes.
- Your household is on Android.
Choose CovePet when
- You mainly need to remember what changed and what to tell the vet.
- You have a cat as well as a dog.
- You want one page for the visit.
Notes
