Flea, Heartworm and Vaccine Due Dates for Several Pets in One Place

Flea, Heartworm and Vaccine Due Dates for Several Pets in One Place

Last checked October 17, 2026. App details come from public App Store listings and the developer's site. I haven't tested every app.

To track flea and tick dates for several pets, keep one dated entry per pet and per product, and restart each reminder from the day the dose was actually given. A recurring calendar event works for two or three pets. Past that, or once more than one person gives the doses, a pet app with a shared log is easier. The table below compares the apps this article covers.

The no-app method

A calendar is still a good answer, and it costs nothing.

1. Make one recurring event per pet and per product. Put both in the title: "Bella – Bravecto – every 12 weeks".
2. Set an alert the day before, so you can restock if you're out.
3. When you give the dose, move the event to that date. Don't leave it on the planned date.
4. Put heartworm, flea and tick, and dewormer in separate events if their intervals differ.

This handles different products on different schedules well. It gets cluttered at three or four pets, and it can't tell you which person gave a dose. If your partner gives Bella's dose on Saturday, the calendar still says it's due.

Why logging the real date matters

Monthly products and 8–12 week products run on different intervals. A reminder that repeats from the planned date drifts away from reality the first time a dose goes in late. Restarting from the real date keeps the next due date honest.

The interval itself comes from the product label and your vet. No app should set it for you. Check that whichever tool you use lets you enter your own.

What each app offers

Pets on tapp lists reminders for vaccinations, heartworm prevention, tick and flea control, and deworming. You can mark a treatment complete or missed, attach notes and photos, and record which carer gave it. It also tracks weight, food and water intake and other health values, so it covers more than parasite control. That is a real advantage if you want one place for general health tracking. Two cautions from the listing: the last version shown is from January 2024, and its two public ratings are low. Check the current page before you rely on it.

Pill Reminder: Pet Meds (CoddyKit) is the one to look at if you use Android or want a vet summary. Per its site, the free plan covers up to two pets, with unlimited medications, local reminders and 60 days of history that you can filter by pet. Pro adds the household roster, advanced scheduling and a vet-ready summary export. It is built around medications, so check whether it fits recurring preventives before you commit.

DogDoc, PawTrack, VitusVet and MyPets Care also come up in searches. I couldn't confirm current details for them from their own pages. VitusVet, for one, is mostly described by a 2015 blog post, so verify the current app on its store page.

Where Flock fits

Flock: Multi Pet Meds is built for the problem a calendar can't solve: several pets, more than one caregiver, and the question "did someone already give it?" It isn't a general health tracker.

What the listing states:

• A Today screen with every due item. Since version 1.0.3 it shows a timeline of who gave which pet what, and when.
• One-tap Given, which records who logged the dose and when. Open doses also have Snooze and Skip.
• Care due dates for items such as vaccines and flea treatment, next to the daily medications.
• Household sharing with unlimited pets, shared with a partner or sitter.
• Local reminders. The listing says plainly that it is not a vet diagnosis app and has no AI vet advice.

Flock's listing doesn't spell out how recurring intervals are configured. It also doesn't name heartworm under care due dates, though its screenshots show heartworm and other chronic medications such as carprofen and methimazole. Look at those screenshots, or use the free download, to confirm it handles your products and intervals before you pay.

On price, the listing shows Household at $9.99 monthly or $49.99 yearly (7-day free trial for new subscribers on the yearly plan), plus a $79.99 lifetime option. The listing doesn't state the free-tier pet limit, so check that in the app. Prices can change, so confirm them on the store page.

Where Flock wins from the listing: unlimited pets on a plan shared with a partner or sitter, and a log built around who gave each dose. Where it doesn't: it is iPhone-only, it has no weight or symptom tracking, and no vet export is stated. Pets on tapp covers broader health tracking, and CoddyKit covers Android and vet summaries.

A simple setup for a multi-pet home

1. List every recurring item per pet. Include flea and tick, heartworm, dewormer, vaccines and any daily medication.
2. Enter the last real date for each, not the date it was supposed to happen.
3. Share the list with everyone who gives doses, including your sitter.
4. Log at the moment you give the dose. That is the entry that prevents doubling up.
5. Ask your vet clinic whether it sends its own text reminders. Some do.

Which one to pick

• You have one to three pets and you're the only caregiver: use calendar events. It's free and it works.
• You want general health tracking as well as treatment dates: look at Pets on tapp, after checking that it's still maintained.
• You use Android, or want a vet-ready summary export: look at Pill Reminder: Pet Meds.
• Several pets and more than one person gives doses: pick Flock. The shared "who gave it, and when" log is what it does best.
