Monitoring your dog’s health will be a big part of your new world. Fortunately, the American Red Cross has your back with their Pet First Aid app. With easy access to health information for your pet, storable data for your preferred vet, and quizzes to get you up to snuff on proper pet ownership, you don’t need to fret about the right thing to do. Set up a profile for your pet, and begin to discover new tips and information for your furry friend. The app can easily search the local area in case of an emergency, too, if you have an unfortunate need for a pet hospital.
Puppr: Teach Your Dog New Tricks
One of the biggest challenges you will face as a new dog owner is training. The Puppr app is designed with a systematic guide to help you train your dog and even pick up some cool tricks. There are over 50 dog tricks on the app ranging from basic obedience training to advanced moves. America’s Got Talent finalist, Sara Carson and The Super Collies, have ensured that each instruction is followed by an image that will help monitor your dog’s completed tricks and progress by earning badges upon completion of each session. The in-app shop also allows you to purchase treats, equipment, and training accessories directly from the app. Premium subscribers on the app have access to additional lesson packs and live chats.

Chewy is your one-stop-shop app for all the dog supplies that you could ever need. The delivery app makes it easy to order food and supplies from thousands of brands. This is a must-have for new dog owners. The most interesting feature of the app includes creating a profile for your dog. This way the app can recommend the right food based on the breed.
