Household Pet's answer:

Most pet apps are built for one owner. Household Pet is built for everyone who looks after the animal: partners, kids, roommates and pet sitters.

• Sharing is free. Share a pet with up to 10 people on the free plan. Everyone logs and edits from their own phone, and a shared activity feed shows who fed, walked or medicated the pet, so nothing gets doubled up or missed.
• It works offline. Records are stored on your device, not just in the cloud. You can open and update them at the vet, on the trail or at the barn with no signal, and changes sync when you reconnect.
• Guest access is scoped to the role. Give a vet, sitter, boarder or groomer time-limited, read-only access that shows only what that role needs, and revoke it at any time.
• It covers more than cats and dogs. Horses and cattle are supported alongside dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, ferrets and reptiles, with proper life-stage names (foal, gelding, heifer, steer) and an Official ear tag field for cattle.
• Reminders fit US care. They cover rabies and core-vaccine boosters plus flea, tick and heartworm prevention.
• Privacy is part of the business model. Data is stored in the United States. There are no ads, no data selling and no AI training on your records.
• Plus is priced low. It's $2.99/month or $24.99/year and adds more pets, PDF vet reports and an AI symptom assistant.

Household Pet's answer:

Choose Household Pet if more than one person looks after your pet.

• Free for the whole household. Many pet apps charge extra, or don't offer sharing at all, when a second person wants access. With Household Pet, up to 10 people can share a pet on the free plan, each on their own phone.
• Not tied to one clinic. Vet-clinic portals only show records from that clinic. Household Pet keeps the full history in one place: every vet, every vaccine, every medication, flea, tick and heartworm dose, and every weigh-in. It stays with you if you move or change vets.
• Works where you need it. Many apps need a connection to show your data. Household Pet stores records on your device, so vaccination dates and medication details open instantly at the vet, the boarding kennel or the barn, even with no signal.
• Everyone knows what's done. The shared activity feed shows who fed, walked or medicated the pet and when, so doses aren't doubled and walks aren't missed.
• Safe sharing with outsiders. Give a vet, sitter, boarder or groomer time-limited, read-only access to just what they need. It expires on its own, and you can revoke it at any time.
• One app for every animal. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, ferrets, reptiles, horses and cattle, so you don't need a separate app for the barn.
• Your data isn't the product. There are no ads, your data is never sold, and it's never used to train AI. Data is stored in the United States, and you can export everything or delete your account from inside the app.
• Fairly priced. The free plan covers one pet with sharing, reminders and offline access. Plus is $2.99/month or $24.99/year, with a 7-day free trial, and adds more pets, PDF vet reports and an AI symptom assistant.

Household Pet's answer:

Household Pet is for households where more than one person cares for a pet: couples, families, roommates, and anyone who relies on a pet sitter, dog walker or boarding kennel.

Within that, the core audiences are:

• Busy families with shared pet duties. Parents and kids splitting feeding, walks and medication, who need to know what's been done without asking in the group chat.
• New puppy and kitten owners. People working through the first-year vaccination series, deworming and spay/neuter schedule, who want reminders at the right dates.
• Owners of senior or medicated pets. Households coordinating daily doses, tracking weight and symptoms, and bringing an organized history to frequent vet visits.
• Multi-pet and mixed-species homes. People with more than one animal, including horse and cattle owners who want the same health records, reminders and shared care they use for their dogs and cats.
• Pet owners who travel or use outside help. People who hand care over to sitters, boarders or groomers and want to give them just the information they need, for a limited time.

Across all of them, the common thread is that they want a clear, shared picture of their pet's health that works offline, and that keeps their data private.

Household Pet's answer:

Household Pet started at home, in a family with two cats and a dog.

Three pets meant three sets of vaccinations, flea, tick and worming treatments, vet visits and medications, and several people sharing the care. The records were scattered across vet emails, paper vaccination cards, phone notes and the family group chat. Questions kept coming up: "Has the dog been fed?", "When is the cats' booster due?", "Did anyone give the tablet this morning?" Every vet visit started with trying to remember dates nobody had written down in the same place.

Existing apps didn't fit how the family actually worked. Most were built for a single owner, charged extra to share, or stopped working without a signal.

So the family built the app they wanted: every pet's health history in one shared place, where everyone in the household can see what's been done, log it from their own phone, and get reminded before something is due. It works offline, gives sitters and vets just the information they need, and keeps the family's data private.

What began as a fix for one busy household is now used by families, couples, roommates and pet sitters. It has grown to support horses and cattle alongside cats, dogs and other pets. The goal is still the same: less life admin, more good days with your pets.

Household Pet's answer:

Household Pet is a consumer app, so our customers are pet owners rather than companies. They're mostly households in Australia and the United States, including families sharing care for several pets, couples, roommates, new puppy and kitten owners, owners of senior or medicated pets, and horse and cattle owners.

Many of our users also invite others into their pet's record: co-owners, pet sitters, boarders, groomers and vets.
