About this app

The Royal Veterinary College’s free pet epilepsy tracker app is a new and interactive way to manage your pet’s epilepsy. Key features include:

• Seizure log: allowing you to record the details of your pet’s seizures, including what they look like, what happens during and after them, and how often they have them

• Medication log: allowing you to record details of all of your pet’s medications, their doses and how often they should be given

• Medication reminders: allowing you to set up a reminder alarm for when you should give your pet their medication, allowing for separate alarms for each medication prescribed

• My Pet: allowing you to record your pet’s details, including information about their epilepsy diagnosis and tests carried out, a notes function to record any questions you want to ask your vet, and a contacts log to save details of relevant professionals to have quick access to

• Export function: allowing you to package and send your pet’s seizure diary, medication diary and medical history by email to your vet or any other email account

• Sharing function: for you to anonymously share your pet’s medical history, seizure and medication diaries with the RVC to contribute to future research into canine epilepsy

• Educational material: a wealth of information is included in the app, from the basics of what epilepsy is, how it is diagnosed and identifying different seizure types, to practical advice on what to do when a seizure strikes and good medication practice.
Free, no subscription fees.

Ratings and reviews

Lost YEARS of seizure tracking with an update that forced me out of my account. Tried to reset my password, but the screen gives the endless spinning wheel and never emails you the link. Tried to register and see if the local data would be uploaded to the account like the app says would happen for older versions recently updated, but it won't let me register because I have an account. 4-5 years of detailed seizure tracking absolutely wasted, and there's no support email.

I tried to send an email to the support email and it bounced back to me. I opened the app today and it won't load. All that it shows is the loading pages. I'm not even sure if my data correctly backed up and saved. I tried restarting my phone and uninstalling and reinstalling. It still won't work. It should work because I just used the app a couple weeks ago.

Useful fields but needs some improvement. Some are redundant. Some are unclear what info you should include. Can only select one drug from drop-down. We give multiple meds. Date is off by a day of the week. Keyboard covers the field you type in. But the ability to quickly record seizures for free is worth it. Voice typing helps but isn't perfect.
