A health home for every animal you love.

Yes. The medical record and the answers are free to use, for the life of your pet. Paid extras may come later; the core product stays free.

We are focused on companion animals, and dogs and cats are where OpenAnimal is deepest today. You can keep a record for other animals you love, including horses, rabbits, birds, reptiles and backyard flocks, and the guidance for those species will keep getting better.

Yes. A few questions about your pet's age, breed, weight, food, activity and health history are enough to get useful answers on day one. Records make the answers sharper, and you can add them whenever you have them.

Yes. Upload labs, notes and exam-room updates from any clinic and OpenAnimal reads them into one clear, searchable record.

It can help you live with one. Keep medications, doses and lab results in one place, watch how the numbers move between visits, and get plain-language help understanding what your vet has told you. Diagnosis and treatment decisions stay with your veterinarian.

It starts from your pet: species, breed, age, weight and body condition, whether they are spayed or neutered, how active they are, what they eat now, and any conditions in their record. Those change what a healthy amount of food looks like, so the guidance changes with them. Any diet prescribed by your vet comes first.

No, it is a companion to them. OpenAnimal helps you understand your pet's health, prepare for visits and follow instructions at home. For diagnosis and treatment, always see a licensed veterinarian. If something looks like an emergency, call your vet or an emergency hospital straight away.

You can name your pet's primary vet and share their record with a clinic, so the history is there when it is needed. Sharing is yours to give and yours to withdraw. Clinics using OpenVet can send records back into the record too.

Answers are grounded in your pet's own record and in veterinary evidence, shaped by our advisory board of specialists across oncology, emergency and general practice.

You will get an email confirming we have you on the list. When your place comes up we send a link to set up your account and add your first pet, which takes a few minutes. We will not pass your address to anyone else.

Your pet's record is yours. It is encrypted in transit and protected by access controls, and it is shared only with the clinics you choose. We do not sell personal information and we do not use pet health records for advertising. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
