Introduction
Most pet parents don’t really track their pet’s care. We feed them when we remember, sometimes twice, sometimes late — and important things like vaccinations or vet follow-ups often get missed.
That’s exactly why I built a personal pet care app for my own pet using QwikBuild. Now everything — meals, vaccines, appointments, medical notes, and health questions — lives in one simple app, with guidance based on my pet’s actual data.
This tutorial shows how I built it — and how you can build one for your pet too.
The Challenge: Before building the app, I struggled with:
• Overfeeding or missing meal schedules
• Forgetting vaccination dates
• Losing medical records
• Missing vet appointments
• Searching online for generic advice that didn’t fit my pet
Goal:
👉 Build one reliable place that truly understands my pet.
Step 1: Initial Prompt & First Version
I started with this message to QwikBuild:
I want to build a personal pet care app for my [PET TYPE — dog/cat]. The app should begin with an onboarding flow where I add my pet’s name, age, breed, weight, gender, and optional medical details like allergies, conditions, medications, and vet notes. I want the app to help me track: • Daily meals (what, how much, time) • Vaccinations (name, date, next due, status) • Doctor appointments (date, reason, notes) The app should store everything in a clear pet care timeline. Add reminders for meals, vaccinations, and appointments. Include an AI help section where I can ask questions about my pet and receive guidance based on my pet’s profile and history.
Step 2: Improve the App with Updates
🟡 Update Request 1 — Pet Health Timeline
Request:
Please add a clean timeline view that shows all meals, medical events, vaccines, and appointments in chronological order.
🛠 Result:
Complete care history for my pet in one view.
🟡 Update Request 2 — Emergency Info Card
Request:
Add an emergency pet card with my pet’s allergies, medications, vet contact, and medical conditions for quick access.
🛠 Result:
One-tap emergency access to critical information.
🟡 Update Request 3 — Multi-Pet Support
Request:
Allow me to manage more than one pet inside the same app.
🛠 Result:
Multiple pet profiles under one account.
🟡 Update Request 4 — Document Storage
Request:
Allow uploading vaccination cards, prescriptions, and lab reports.
🛠 Result:
All medical documents stored securely inside the app.
Step 3: Troubleshooting — A Pro Tip
If something feels off:
Describe what you see
Share a screenshot
Send a short update request
Repeat until the app feels perfect for your pet.

This app became my pet’s complete digital health companion — and I never worry about forgetting important care again.
You can build the same for your pet.
