👍👍 it's the best it is so easy to use! Thanks to ever made it!
PetVet is essential for any dog or cat lover. The interface is super easy to use, and the list of symptoms and conditions is very complete -- my dog has pancreatitis and the description of how it affects her was right on target. I bookmarked the condition and can now refer back to it at any time, even offline. Another cool feature is the Vet Locator -- just hit a button and is it finds the vet closest to wherever I am! I would never stop making annual trips to the vet, but having PetVet will help me care for my pup all year round.
I live in the Baltimore area — not exactly a small place. Guess how many veterinarians and animal clinics this app found for me. Zero. You would think it would, at the very least, list a local emergency clinic, right? Nope. Its list of conditions also is woefully inadequate. In its current form, this app is almost worthless, and, in my humble opinion, should not have been released until it was able to provide much, much more information. There is some, so it I'm (generously) giving it two stars, but it needs a lot of work to make it download-worthy.
My first experience with this app has been very positive. Found exactly what I need and the text was written by two wonderful vets. Easy to understand yet technical enough to be very useful.
I like almost everything about this app. The ability to look up conditions by listing symptoms is an inspired idea and works well. There are a few bugs that need to be worked out - for instance, if you look at "Inappropriate Elimination" for cats, the description tells you how to deal with "Excessive Barking" in dogs. A few glitches notwithstanding, the information is pretty thorough and up-to-date. I was very excited about the "Vet Finder" and was looking forward to having this easy lookup on my phone when we travel. Wouldn't it be great to be able to quickly look up nearby veterinary hospitals in case of an emergency? However, it is not helpful at all. I asked it to find the vets nearest my current location (we are in Southwest Georgia) and the two closest it could find are in Brooklyn, NY and Columbia, MO. Not exactly a short drive. If some of the glitches were ironed out and the Vet Finder was fixed this could easily be a five star app.
This is a great app!
This app is close to perfect, however, the selections of symptoms are very limited, as well as the conditions list and vet finder. This app has a lot of potential, I can't wait for more updates!
i thought this would be a game to care for animals
