PawBeat: Pet Breathing Rate

PawBeat helps you do the one thing your veterinarian asked: count your dog or cat's breathing rate at home, and catch the moment it matters.

For pets with heart disease (MVD, DCM, HCM, congestive heart failure), the sleeping breathing rate is the clearest early signal you can track yourself. PawBeat makes it effortless.

NEW — WHEN YOU'RE WORRIED, A CHECKLIST WITH AN ENDING
• One tap from anywhere: the five signs vets ask about first, then a few short questions you can skip
• It ends with what we know, what we don't know yet, and one next step
• If the step is "count again in half an hour", PawBeat reminds you and compares the two counts for you
• Free — it shouldn't cost anything to be worried

NEW — ONE THING AT A TIME
• A single status on the home screen, one sentence saying why, and one button that fits the moment
• Your pet's usual range, from their own sleeping counts — a number can be under your vet's target and still be high for them

COUNT IN 30 SECONDS, EVEN IN THE DARK
• Tap once per breath while your pet sleeps — PawBeat does the math
• Camera assist: prop your phone up and a live breathing meter shows every breath — all on-device, nothing recorded
• Count from your Apple Watch, a home-screen widget, or ask Siri

NIGHT LOG: WHAT HAPPENS WHILE YOU'RE ASLEEP
• Leave the phone on charge by the bed and tap start
• PawBeat keeps two seconds of anything that stands out — nothing else is ever written down
• In the morning you play each one and say what it was — the cough count is one you confirmed, not one an app guessed
• Audio stays on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, ever

SYMPTOM RADAR: THE PATTERNS ACROSS YOUR LOGS (PRO)
• Weight and breathing rising in the same week; coughing clustering at night; a slow drift in weight over three months
• Every card shows the exact readings behind it, so you can check its work
• Named in plain language, with what to do next — call today, or mention at the next visit

JOINT & MOBILITY: FOR THE STIFF ONES TOO (PRO)
• A one-minute weekly check for older dogs who are slowing down as well as short of breath
• Librela and Adequan cycles charted against the scores, so you can see whether a dose is still working
• Walking clips — the thing a vet can never get from numbers

KNOW WHEN IT MATTERS (PRO)
• Two sleeping readings above your vet's target and PawBeat surfaces it — with your vet's number and a 24/7 emergency line one tap away
• Plain-language phrasing, never alarmist — it shows your data, your vet decides

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE (PRO)
• Medication schedule with reminders and a compliance record for the vet
• 15-second episode clips (coughing, laboured breathing) — kept on your device only
• Weight, quality-of-life and diary notes, with trends, plus CSV export of everything

WALK INTO EVERY VISIT PREPARED (PRO)
• "For the vet, right now" — one screen to hand over at the clinic: meds with last doses, the week's chart, last night's confirmed coughs, and the numbers to call
• Vet Pack: choose the period and what goes in, read it yourself, then decide whether to share. Works with no signal
• A monthly AI Vet-Visit Brief: a short written summary of your logs, plus 3 questions to ask
• Clinical PDF report, and a free care sheet for pet-sitters and family

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your pet's data lives on your device and your private iCloud
• Episode videos never leave your phone
• No ads, no third-party analytics, no location tracking
• For the AI brief, only aggregated numbers are sent — never your pet's name or individual readings

The free counter is fully featured, and so is the worry checklist. PawBeat Pro adds the disease-management layer: alerts, meds, episodes, insights, reports and the AI brief.

PawBeat records and summarizes your own logged data. It does not diagnose or treat, and never advises changing treatment — always follow your vet's guidance.
