About this app

ShakyBraves helps pet owners track and monitor their dog or cat’s breathing rate and heart health over time. It is designed to support pet parents managing cardiac conditions such as Mitral Valve Disease (MVD), DCM, ARVC, PDA, TVD, HCM, and RCM.

Built around resting respiratory rate (RRR) monitoring—one of the most important at-home indicators for heart disease progression—ShakyBraves makes it simple to track, understand, and share your dog or cat’s health data over time. ShakyBraves is designed specifically for tracking the health of dogs and cats and is not intended for human medical use.

Ideal for pet parents monitoring congestive heart failure (CHF), heart murmurs, or diagnosed cardiac disease in dogs and cats.

Whether your dog or cat was recently diagnosed or you're managing long-term care, ShakyBraves helps you stay consistent and organized between vet visits.
