🐾 Getting Started & Adding Dogs

How do I add or switch between dogs?

Tap on your dog's name or photo at the top of the Today dashboard to switch pets or tap "+ Add Dog" to set up a new profile. You can store photo avatars, breed, date of birth, weight records, and microchip IDs.

Can multiple caregivers access the same dog?

Yes! That is the core purpose of SharedDog. Head to the Profile > Family & Sharing tab, tap + Invite Caregiver, enter their email address, and pick their permission level.

👥 Caregiver Roles & Permissions

What is the difference between caregiver roles?

  • Owner: Created the dog profile. Has full control, manages subscription, can invite members, and can transfer ownership.
  • Co-Owner (Full Access): Can log activities, create & edit routines, invite other caregivers, and edit dog vitals.
  • Caregiver: Can log activities, complete scheduled routines, and leave notes with photos.
  • Viewer: Read-only access to the activity timeline and daily schedule.

⏰ Routines, Schedules & Reminders

How do daily routine reminders work?

In the Schedules & Routines screen, you can configure morning/evening walks, regular feeding times, and medication. When a scheduled routine is due, push notifications alert household members. Once any caregiver logs the activity, the reminder automatically clears across all devices!

💳 Subscriptions, Free Trials & In-App Purchases

How does the 14-day free trial work?

Every new user gets a full 14-day free trial on paid plans (Pup Essentials & Household Plus). You have access to all multi-dog and caregiver features. If you cancel at any time before the 14-day trial ends, you will not be charged.

How do I cancel or manage my iOS App Store subscription?

Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store are managed directly by Apple. You can cancel or change your plan at any time with these steps:
  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap your Name / Apple ID at the very top.
  3. Tap Subscriptions.
  4. Tap SharedDog.
  5. Tap Cancel Subscription (or Cancel Free Trial).
If you cancel, you will maintain full access until the end of your current billing period.

How do I request a refund for an App Store purchase?

Because Apple manages App Store transactions directly, refund requests must be submitted through Apple's portal at reportaproblem.apple.com. Sign in with your Apple ID, find your SharedDog purchase, and choose "Request a refund".

🔒 Privacy, Data & Account Deletion

How do I delete my account and all associated data?

We believe in full user autonomy and GDPR compliance. You can delete your account and all associated pet records directly inside the app: go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Delete Account. Alternatively, you can email [email protected] or [email protected] with the subject "Delete My Account" and we will purge your data within 48 hours.
