Description of service

PawDoc is a dog care application that allows users to:

  • Log and track their dog's daily activities including meals, walks, and health events
  • Track developmental milestones for puppies and annual health events for adult dogs
  • Share pet care coordination with family members and caregivers
  • Receive AI-generated health insights, pre-vet appointment briefs, and symptom guidance

AI-generated content

7.1 Nature of AI insights

PawDoc uses artificial intelligence to generate health insights, symptom checker responses, and pre-vet appointment briefs based on your logged activity data.

7.2 Not medical or veterinary advice

The AI-generated content provided by PawDoc is for informational purposes only and does not constitute veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always consult a qualified veterinarian for medical advice regarding your pet's health. Never delay seeking professional veterinary advice because of something you read in PawDoc.

7.3 No warranty on AI accuracy

AI-generated insights are based solely on the data you have logged in the app. The accuracy and relevance of insights depends entirely on the completeness and accuracy of your logs. We make no warranty that AI-generated content is accurate, complete, or appropriate for your specific situation.

If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, contact a veterinarian immediately. Do not rely on PawDoc for emergency guidance.

When you invite a caregiver to your family hub, you grant them access to view and add activity logs for your pet(s). You are responsible for ensuring that anyone you invite has consented to their data being processed as described in our Privacy Policy.

Caregivers who accept an invitation agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. They agree to use the family hub only for the purpose of caring for the pets they have been invited to care for.
