Why health tracking matters
Pets can’t tell you when something feels off. But their data can. Consistent health tracking turns scattered observations into clear patterns - patterns that help you catch problems early, make better decisions at the vet, and feel confident that you’re giving your pets the best care possible.
Everkin gives you a complete toolkit for tracking every aspect of your pet’s health, all in one place. Here’s what’s available.
What you can track
Everkin covers the full spectrum of pet health data. Log allergies, food preferences, medications, medical conditions, symptoms, weight, glucose levels, grooming visits, feedings, bathroom habits, activity, and seizures - all from a single app designed to keep everything organized and searchable.
Your pet’s complete story, in one view
Every piece of health data you log feeds into your pet’s Timeline - a unified chronological view that connects the dots between different tracking types. See a weight drop alongside a medication change. Notice a pattern between feeding times and bathroom habits.
Smart insights surface correlations automatically, helping you spot trends you might otherwise miss. When it’s time for a vet visit, share the whole story in seconds.
Note: Insights are informational only and not a substitute for professional veterinary advice.
Weight tracking & trend graphs
Weight changes slowly enough that it is easy to miss without a record. In a study of 569 cats with chronic kidney disease, cats lost a median of 8.9% of their body weight in the 12 months before diagnosis, and the loss was already under way 3 years earlier (Freeman et al., Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2016). The authors concluded that tracking body weight may help vets diagnose the disease earlier.
Weight gain matters too. The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention’s 2022 survey classified 59% of dogs and 61% of cats in the U.S. as overweight or having obesity (APOP 2022 Pet Obesity Prevalence Survey). Everkin makes it easy to log weights and visualize trends over time.
Each entry is plotted on a trend graph so you can spot subtle changes that might be invisible day-to-day. Bring the graph to your next vet visit and give your veterinarian the data they need at a glance.
Symptom logging with severity tracking
When your pet shows a new symptom, context matters. Was it a one-time thing or is it recurring? Is it getting worse? Everkin lets you log symptoms with severity levels, detailed notes, and timestamps so you can build a clear picture over time.
When patterns emerge - like vomiting that always happens after a specific food, or lethargy that correlates with a medication change - you’ll see it in your timeline and be able to share it with your vet.
Glucose monitoring for diabetic pets
Managing a diabetic pet means tracking glucose readings consistently. The 2018 AAHA Diabetes Management Guidelines say plainly that “Obtaining BGCs at home is preferred to doing so in the clinic,” where a BGC is a blood glucose curve (AAHA, 2018). Everkin makes it simple to log readings, see trends over days and weeks, and share glucose curves with your veterinarian.
The glucose graph shows readings over time so you can spot when levels are trending out of range. Combined with feeding and medication logs, you’ll have the full picture of how your pet’s diabetes management is going.

Track every aspect of your pet’s health
Seizure Tracking
Log seizure events with a timed duration, severity, and potential triggers. The International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force calls the owner's report, backed by video, the most central diagnostic marker for epilepsy in pets.
Bathroom Logs
Track frequency, consistency, and any abnormalities, so you can tell your vet exactly when a change started and how often it happens.
Feeding Tracking
Log meals, portions, and food types. In multi-person households, feeding tracking answers the eternal question: "Did someone already feed them?"
Symptom Logging
Document symptoms with severity levels, detailed notes, and timestamps. Build a symptom history that helps your vet make more informed decisions.
Where to find health tracking
Health tracking in Everkin is accessible from multiple places so you can log data quickly no matter where you are in the app.
Dashboard
Your home screen shows a quick overview of recent entries and quick-add buttons for the most common tracking types.
Pet Profile
Each pet's profile has a dedicated vitals section where you can see all tracking data, graphs, and history in one place.
Data-Powered Pet Care
Every weight entry, symptom log, and glucose reading you record builds a richer picture of your pet’s health. Over time, consistent tracking powers smarter insights - helping you spot changes early and make more informed decisions with your vet.
The more you track, the more Everkin can do for you.
