Here are some great pet-focused apps that put everything from breed info to medical advice in the palm of your paw (er, hand).

PET FIRST AID: American Red Cross (free) .

Be prepared for all kinds of pet emergencies. Educational videos, quizzes, and step-by-step guides will walk you through stressful situations until you can get your pet to the vet.

Cat Scanner (free).

Snap a pic of your cat and the app will instantly identify its breed and share fun facts. It works with mixed breeds and humans too! See which cat breed you and your friends resemble most. (I tried it with Crosby and it came up 74% Norwegian Forest Cat and 18% Maine Coon. Our vet had guessed NFC when Crosby was a kitten. Buddy came up 94% European Short Hair…aka ” alley cat” per the app.)

Air vet (free download and on-demand consults start at $30)

Immediate pet care with licensed vets available 24-7 thanks to telehealth visits via the app.

Vitus Vet (free)

Put all of your pets’ medical info in 1 place, including vaccines, medications, microchips & insurance details. Invite family members or pet sitters to access the info as necessary.
