Airvet connects pet owners with a live vet over video in minutes, any time of day. The consult eases anxiety, gives you a plan, and helps you decide whether an in-person clinic visit is necessary. The key limitation: vets cannot prescribe medication, so for infections or pain the call ends with a referral to an offline provider. Vet availability late at night and on holidays is not guaranteed. The app works as a first triage layer, not a substitute for a clinic.
Gelobt
A real vet joins within minutes, not a bot. Video lets you show symptoms and your pet's behavior. Takes the panic out of late-night situations when every nearby clinic is closed.
Kritik
Vets cannot write prescriptions, so for infections or pain the consult ends with a referral to an in-person provider. Doctors are sometimes unavailable at night altogether. No captions for the hard of hearing. No dark mode. The connection sometimes drops and the charge still goes through.
Für wen: Pet owners who need a late-night consult to assess how serious a situation is and decide whether to rush to an emergency clinic right now.

The app structures dog training as a video course with step-by-step instructions and a built-in clicker. Users regularly report real progress, from basic sit and down to tricks. The biggest loss was the removal of the social feed, which was the main motivator for daily check-ins. Daily engagement dropped even among users who enjoy the content.
Gelobt
Step-by-step video lessons are clear without any prior dog-training knowledge. The built-in clicker is synced with the cue in the video.
Kritik
Removing the community and comments killed the main behavioral hook. Most tricks and advanced lessons are locked behind a subscription starting at $150 per year.
Für wen: Owners of puppies and young dogs who want structured video lessons with visible progress and are willing to pay for an extended command library.

The app turns a second phone or tablet into a monitor for a dog left home alone. The key feature is a noise log with timestamps: you can see when the dog barked or whined and for how long. It helps owners of anxious pets make the call on whether to head home. The main technical conflict is that audio capture blocks music and navigation on the monitoring device.
Gelobt
A noise log with the ability to replay sounds after the fact. The option to talk to your dog through the microphone. A one-time purchase at a low price, which users appreciate compared to subscription-based alternatives.
Kritik
The app monopolizes the audio stream: you cannot listen to music or podcasts while monitoring is active. If the connection drops, you can only restore it from the camera device, not remotely. The activity detector sometimes shows the pet as resting when it is not in frame.
Für wen: Dog owners dealing with separation anxiety whose pet has a spare phone or tablet available. A budget replacement for a dedicated camera for one pet.

Dogo builds a puppy training structure from basic commands to tricks, with a clicker and daily exercises. The bathroom tracker lets multiple family members see a shared log, but sync lags and requires a manual refresh. The vaccination schedule was removed after a UI update, and users lost a key feature. Walk reminders are quiet and easy to miss. The app keeps owners accountable for daily training, but insurance upsell notifications cannot be filtered out.
Gelobt: Step-by-step training courses with articles and video lay out a roadmap from scratch. The shared bathroom and walk tracker gives everyone a common log without messaging back and forth. Daily exercises create a routine and keep things interesting.
Kritik: Sync between family members breaks occasionally and does not recover on its own. The vaccination schedule disappeared after the redesign. Bathroom reminders are silent and do not repeat. Deaf pets are completely left out of the clicker mechanic.
Für wen: New puppy owners who want a structured training course and a shared bathroom and walk log with their partner.

PetDesk is a connector app between a vet clinic and the pet owner. Online appointment booking, vaccine reminders, visit history, and in-app prescription refills are real utilities for families with pets. The email-validation onboarding is broken for a significant share of users: the confirmation email either does not arrive or a marketing email comes instead. Medical records cannot be edited manually.
Gelobt: Online vet booking and prescription refills without a phone call, vaccine and annual checkup reminders, visit history all in one place.
Kritik: Health data like weight and notes cannot be edited by the user yourself. Clinic sync is not always current and vaccines can show as outdated.
Für wen: Pet owners at a regular vet clinic connected to PetDesk, especially those who frequently reschedule or are managing chronic conditions.

Whisker is the companion app for the Litter-Robot self-cleaning litter box. It tracks litter box visits per cat, monitors weight via the built-in sensor, sends fill and error notifications, and lets you remotely trigger a cleaning cycle. The real value shows for multi-cat households. The problem: the app frequently loses its WiFi connection after a power outage and requires a manual reset. Older LR3 models are not supported properly.
Gelobt: Automatic cat weigh-in at every visit. Per-cat visit history helps you catch behavior changes early. Notifications when the drawer is full.
Kritik: After a power outage the device does not reconnect to WiFi automatically and needs a manual reset. Error notifications are not granular and you cannot choose which specific errors to get alerted about.
Für wen: Owners of one or more cats with a Litter-Robot 4 who track weight and visit frequency as a health indicator.

The client app for the VCA vet clinic network. Appointment booking works reliably and visit history is accessible. But the architecture is one clinic equals one profile: if a pet ends up at an emergency or specialist at a different VCA location, the data is unavailable. Dosage reminders broke after an update and were never restored. Records are only stored for the past two years.
Gelobt: Instant access to a vaccination certificate right from your phone. Appointment booking and messaging with the vet all in one place without phone calls.
Kritik: The profile is tied to one clinic location. A trip to the network emergency center resets access to history. Push notifications mix health reminders with marketing and cannot be separated.
Für wen: Pet owners who see the same VCA clinic on a regular basis and want their vaccination history at their fingertips.

Pawp provides access to a veterinary specialist via chat or video around the clock, plus an emergency fund. Consults genuinely help at night when clinics are closed. The problem is the gap between the insurance promise and reality: when users actually file a claim, many get denied. Licensed specialists cannot always write prescriptions, and a referral to see a vet in person undercuts the core value proposition. The service works as a first anxiety filter but falls short as a real insurer.
Gelobt: Consults available at night and on weekends with no wait. Fast reimbursement approval in simple emergency cases relieves stress. Specialists understand symptoms and give a clear action plan.
Kritik: Insurance denials hit hardest at the worst possible moment, right after a serious loss. Licensed specialists without prescribing authority make the consult incomplete. The required pharmacy with 10-day shipping does not work for acute conditions. The service covers cats and dogs only.
Für wen: Cat or dog owners who need an after-hours anxiety consult and understand that the emergency fund does not cover every situation.

The app for Petlibro smart feeders and water fountains. Feeding schedules work, water and food consumption monitoring is available, and the camera with pet identification by coat adds context. The biggest problem is the family scenario: only one account can be logged in at a time, so couples constantly knock each other out of the session.
Gelobt: Scheduled feedings with a manual dispense option on demand. Camera notification when a specific pet approaches the feeder. Water consumption history.
Kritik: Only one active session per device: a second person in the household cannot check feeder status without the first person logging out. Subscription pop-ups appear on every tap near feature buttons. The device goes offline and a missed feeding is not always flagged as an error.
Für wen: Full-time working owners who need to remotely feed a pet on a schedule and confirm that food and water were consumed.

A structured socialization and training program for puppies broken down by age and pace. The standout feature is the post-lesson rating system that automatically adds repetitions for weak skills. The weakness is the sheer volume of content, which overwhelms beginners and creates anxiety instead of confidence.
Gelobt: Articles are written clearly and illustrated modules make exercises easy to understand. The results-based repetition system feels like a smart coaching approach.
Kritik: An update wiped the profile and progress for several users. The number of tasks at each stage feels like too much: instead of a sense of progress, users feel behind. The AI chat in the free version gave inaccurate advice on a basic command.
Für wen: Puppy owners from 8 weeks who want a structured development plan rather than a random collection of tips.

The app turns old devices into a two-way camera with a microphone and bark and motion alerts. The core mechanic works: watch your pet from anywhere, talk to them, get alerts. Connection instability and a limited free tier reduce the overall value.
Gelobt: Two-way audio so your pet can actually hear you. Bark alerts with audio recording. Works across different WiFi networks, unlike some competitors. Repurposes an old iPhone or iPad as a dedicated camera. Night vision included.
Kritik: Connection is unstable: "cannot connect to server" in hotels and unfamiliar networks. Video freezes and requires reconnection. Night vision is not enough in complete darkness. Free mode is capped at 30 minutes per day. The pricing model changed: annual subscription first, then a monthly video fee was added on top.
Für wen: Dog owners who work outside the home and want to see and hear their pet in real time, especially when the animal has separation anxiety or is a puppy in training.

Thrive is a proprietary vet clinic app for booking appointments and storing a pet's medical record. Key features break periodically: the booking button freezes, the vaccination card disappeared after an update, pet names cannot be changed, and preferred specialists cannot be saved. The app is useful when it works, but it works unpredictably. For multi-pet owners, repeated intake questions at every visit suggest that data does not carry over between sessions properly.
Gelobt: All medical records for multiple pets in one place. In-app booking is faster than calling when the feature works. Tied to a specific clinic with vets the owner already trusts.
Kritik: Booking freezes without explanation and users end up calling anyway. The vaccination schedule was removed, leaving only a list of past visits. The pet profile has no way to mark an animal as deceased and does not save name changes. Preferred specialists cannot be saved.
Für wen: Thrive vet clinic clients who need to store records for multiple pets and occasionally book a visit without calling.

The GPS collar with a virtual fence works for some owners, but signal reliability and battery life degrade over time. The collar trains the dog to respect boundaries, but the signal drops and large breeds sometimes push through the correction. Works for rural properties and travel if you charge it daily.
Gelobt: Boundary training without a physical fence: after the training course, dogs hold the perimeter even without the collar. Portable: one fence setup works at any location, even a campsite.
Kritik: Battery needs daily charging and holds half the charge after about a year. GPS signal is unreliable indoors, which can cause the collar to correct the dog while it is resting. A replacement chip costs $400 when the collar itself is $500.
Für wen: Rural property owners without a physical fence who are willing to charge the collar daily and commit to a training course.

A communication platform between a vet clinic and the pet owner: appointment booking, chat with the vet, a health journal, and photo uploads. It genuinely works when it works. The problem is stability: the app periodically stops loading for months at a time, magic link login blocks families with multiple adults, and journal entries cannot be edited after saving.
Gelobt: Clinic chat saves phone calls. A health journal with photos and visit notes appeals to users who manage to get it set up. In-app booking without a phone call is seen as real value.
Kritik: Magic link as the only login method blocks households where two adults manage a pet's records from separate devices. After an outage, users cannot log in for months and support does not respond. Journal entries cannot be edited after creation.
Für wen: Pet owners whose vet clinic is on Digitail. The value depends entirely on how actively the clinic uses the platform.

A GPS tracker and e-collar system for working and hunting dogs. The GPS tracking mechanic works in the field with a good signal. The geofence is unreliable: the boundary shifts and the dog receives a correction inside the safe zone. Apple Watch and phone sync are out of alignment. No multi-user access to a single account.
Gelobt: Tracking multiple dogs at the same time in the field. Tone and vibration as commands without an audible beep. A dog's GPS trail on the map helped one user locate a cat after a dog attack (a real case described in the reviews). Compact map interface for navigating hunting grounds.
Kritik: The geofence boundary shifts arbitrarily and the dog gets shocked inside the allowed zone. GPS repositions to another country on signal loss, which is critical with an active geofence. Apple Watch shows data that does not match the phone. Cannot log in from two smartphones simultaneously. Cannot disable the blinking light on the collar. Offline maps cannot be downloaded for enough area to cover remote hunting grounds.
Für wen: Hunters and dog handlers with working dogs in the field who need a GPS tracker and the ability to issue commands at a distance. Not suitable for urban use due to an unreliable geofence.

A GPS collar with a virtual fence and a training program from Cesar Millan. The concept works: a portable perimeter without a physical fence that you train the dog to respect. Battery degrades quickly, GPS shows inaccuracies, and Halo 3 support was discontinued after a few years. For owners of multiple dogs across different properties, the value holds up.
Gelobt: One fence setup works at any new location without reconfiguring. The training program is built into the app: step-by-step levels with feedback counts visible per dog. The recall feature returns the dog with a voice command through the collar.
Kritik: Battery drops from 48 to 38 hours on a replacement. The collar delivers a shock indoors on false triggers. Support for older models ends without notice and no replacement parts are sold.
Für wen: Owners of active hunting and herding breeds who frequently change location and want to train the dog to a perimeter rather than just track them.

A full-featured platform for vet records: vaccines, documents, visit history, and a food journal. The custom reminder interval mechanic is partially broken (every 3 days does not work). Data sometimes disappears after updates. The clinic database is incomplete and lacks exotic animal vets.
Gelobt: A food journal for tracking a pet's reactions to different foods. Upload of medical documents to the profile. Vaccine and visit reminders. Support for multiple pets under one account.
Kritik: Custom reminder intervals are unreliable: non-standard periods (every 3 days) do not save. After updates, a pet profile can reset or data can vanish. Reminders can only be deleted and recreated, not edited. Date of birth does not save correctly. The vet clinic database is incomplete and adding a vet manually throws an error. The appointment feature only shows past visits.
Für wen: Owners of multiple pets with chronic conditions who need an observation journal, document history, and reminders for recurring procedures.

A veterinary portal tied to a specific clinic. Vet records, prescription refills, and staff chat all in one place. The app works when the clinic has set it up correctly. The problem is in the architecture: users are automatically assigned to a clinic with no way to switch themselves, and messages are archived without warning.
Gelobt: All vet records in one place with history. Chat with staff instead of a phone call. Prescription orders placed directly from the app.
Kritik: Automatic clinic assignment with no user choice: visiting an emergency vet makes the primary clinic disappear from the interface. Conversations are archived randomly and the vet cannot see previously sent data. A blank screen appears when trying to open lab results.
Für wen: Owners with one regular clinic that is connected to Otto and has set up the integration. Not a good fit for anyone who moves between clinics.

A video training course for puppies structured by developmental stage. It helps owners learn basic commands without a professional trainer. The real value is in sequential video lessons and step-by-step tasks. The biggest failure is a subscription cancellation flow so hidden that users keep getting charged against their will.
Gelobt: Video format with demonstrations makes basic commands easy to understand. Users report that the app helps build a bond with the puppy and brings structure to training sessions.
Kritik: Subscription cancellation is only possible through the website, not the App Store, and even there it is not obvious. Lessons do not accommodate deaf users: no captions. Content for advanced commands barely goes beyond the free trial period.
Für wen: New puppy owners who want to complete a basic training course on their own without hiring a trainer.

The app turns an old iPhone or iPad into a pet surveillance camera. It works, but only on a single WiFi network, which makes remote viewing from outside the house impossible for many users. The platform distribution model (separate purchases for iOS and macOS) causes persistent frustration.
Gelobt: Repurposing old devices as dedicated cameras is a clever idea. A one-time purchase instead of a subscription attracts users. Low-light mode is adequate for nighttime monitoring. Motion and sound alerts are configurable.
Kritik: Works only on one WiFi network, so remote viewing when away from home is unavailable for many users. Motion notifications fire roughly 50% of the time. Video recording is capped at 4 seconds with no way to store more. Activity log shows photos, not video. Requires a separate purchase on macOS.
Für wen: Pet owners who have an old iPhone or iPad and want a budget camera without a subscription, as long as the camera and the viewing device are on the same WiFi network.

MyPurina is a Purina loyalty program: scan receipts, earn points, get coupons. A food recommender based on your pet's profile is included. As a pet-care tool it is very limited: no feeding journal, no reminders, no vet records. The value is strictly in saving money on Purina purchases. The main friction point is a receipt rejection system that gives no explanation.
Gelobt: Receipt scanning with automatic points for Purina products. Coupons for the next purchase available right inside the app.
Kritik: The food recommender ignores filters: ask for no chicken and it suggests chicken. The receipt rejection system is opaque and does not explain what went wrong.
Für wen: Owners who buy Purina regularly and want to earn some money back through points. Useless for anyone feeding a different brand.

The app structures dog training as a course with lessons and progress tracking. Users who get into the content appreciate the methodology, especially the work on reactivity during walks and the structured command sequence. But getting there is hard: payment screens appear during onboarding, and users report discrepancies between the advertised price and what was actually charged.
Gelobt: Step-by-step lessons on reactive barking and basic commands give a concrete algorithm rather than general advice. Users with Chihuahuas report noticeable improvement in leash behavior.
Kritik: Onboarding collects multiple payments at once (main subscription plus additional guides), which comes across as a dark pattern. Some users were never able to access the app after paying.
Für wen: Owners of puppies and young dogs who are willing to pay for a structured course with step-by-step lessons, provided they sort out the subscription before the first charge.

Zoetis's app for tracking pet medications and earning cashback on vet drugs. The core is relevant (medication journal, vaccine reminders, vet clinic directory), but the majority of users came for the points, and that part has been broken for months.
Gelobt: The medication journal with scheduling and reminders works for those who get to it. Multi-pet support: separate profiles with different diets and schedules, including multiple vet clinics.
Kritik: The points program is frozen: the receipt submission button does not work and the app crashes on the rewards screen. Without points, users see no reason to open the app and ignore the care features.
Für wen: Owners who buy Zoetis prescription drugs (Simparica, Revolution) and are willing to use a care journal in exchange for discounts.

The companion app for a QR tracker tag for pets. GPS tracking and a geofence are listed as features but do not work: the tracker shows incorrect distance, the map does not open, and boundary-exit notifications do not arrive. The app is stuck on an un-updatable version and will not let users log in.
Gelobt: A QR tag with a pet profile as a way to get a lost pet returned. A social photo feed for pet owners. Walk route tracking. Fast replacement of a damaged tag when support is responsive.
Kritik: The app demands an update that is not available in the App Store and completely blocks login. GPS shows inaccurate distance (plus or minus 70 feet instead of a few feet). Leash notifications do not trigger. A Pro subscription does not compensate for non-functional features. The profile does not display when a tag is scanned without extra steps.
Für wen: Pet owners who want QR identification on a collar and basic walk tracking. Real-time GPS tracking is effectively unavailable.

A client portal for a vet clinic for online booking and viewing upcoming procedures. After the migration from the previous platform, most users could not log in: old accounts were not transferred and password recovery does not work. Those who did get in found only appointment booking with no medical history, lab data, or the ability to add a pet manually.
Gelobt: Online booking without a phone call is appreciated by the few users for whom the app works. The basic booking interface is clear.
Kritik: The migration from the previous platform broke login for a large share of users. Pets disappeared from the list with no way to add them manually. Medical history and lab results cannot be viewed, yet that is exactly what users expected to find.
Für wen: Clients of specific vet clinics that use PetOne. Not suitable for self-managing a pet's health.

A client portal for a single vet clinic. Users want to book a vet visit and view visit history, but the basic flows break: adding a pet fails, login stops working after updates, and booking freezes. Vet records and lab data are unavailable, even though that is the primary request.
Gelobt: The single-window concept for the clinic is appealing: some users value online booking without calls and quick access to the vet's schedule.
Kritik: Login breaks after every major update. Adding a new pet does not work. Vet records and prescriptions are inaccessible through the app, which is exactly what users expected first.
Für wen: Clients of a specific vet clinic who primarily need online booking. Not suitable for managing a pet's health comprehensively.

A GPS tracker for dogs with an activity step counter and a leaderboard. Pet care is not the primary use case: there is no feeding, medication tracking, or vet records.
Gelobt: Activity and step stats work well for city owners of active dogs. The leaderboard motivates getting outside for walks.
Kritik: Tracking requires the owner's phone to be nearby for reliable results. Multi-pet mode is broken: two pets appear on separate maps with no combined view.
Für wen: Not relevant for the pet care category. This is a GPS tracker.
