APPC by ASPCA

free



There is a plethora of good info out there. BUT you need to choose an app, download it and GET FAMILIAR with it. Having 10 apps on your phone that you are not familiar with it's useless...
Other fun apps:
Bring Fido
It is a good resource for dog-friendly destinations, accommodations and restaurants.

What an awesome idea for a post! There are a TON of apps out there...in fact, I probably own about a third of the photography ones that are available on the app store! I have never actually looked for pet apps before. I love the photo editing apps and often use them in my posts! Guess it is the artistic side of me. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful apps...I appreciate it!!

Those are great! I may need to get the GPS pet tracker. Bentley has run off twice this summer already. He's not allowed off leash at all anymore, not even in our own yard, but the tracker would definitely give me some peace of mind!

I've heard a lot of good things about Pet Saver. I don't have a smart phone so I'll have to take your word for it :) Though I have decided when I get a new phone the ResQWalk app is one of the first things I'm going to use.

I love it that so many pet apps are starting to spring up. The Pet Saver app looks like a really great one for any pet owner. It would be nice to have that information right at your finger tips in a moment's notice. Unfortunately bad things happen when you are least prepared for them.

These are such great apps and many I haven't heard of! We use ResQWalk and love it :)
