If several people give meds to several pets in your home, pick an iPhone app that shares one log showing who gave which dose. Among the listings checked for this article, PetPill (Pro tier) and Flock both advertise that. PawsRx is the cheapest option for one person running multiple pets. WoofTrak goes deepest on a single dog with a chronic condition. The facts below come from each app's public App Store listing in October 2026, and all four had too few ratings to show a score.

What should you look for in a pet medication app?
Start with the problem you actually have. A person with one dog on one pill needs a reminder. A household with a cat on thyroid medication, a dog on joint medication and two adults who share mornings needs something different: a record that everyone can see.
Check these before downloading:
- Shared access. Can a partner or sitter log doses on their own phone?
- Attribution. Does the log say who gave the dose and when, or only that it was given?
- Pet limits. Free tiers often cap you at one pet.
- Schedule flexibility. Twice daily, every other day, weekly and custom routines are not universal.
- Scope. Do you want a medication tool, or an all-in-one health record?
- Data handling. Some apps keep data on the device; others sync through iCloud.
How do the apps differ?
PawsRx
PawsRx shows your pet's photo in each reminder and supports once-daily, twice-daily, every-other-day, weekly and custom schedules. Its listing says data stays on the device with no account, and iCloud sync is optional. The free tier covers one pet and up to three medications; Premium unlocks unlimited pets and adds a weight-based dose calculator. The listing doesn't describe sharing with other people, so it suits a single caregiver best. It's also the lowest-priced option here.
PetPill
PetPill is the broadest of the four. Beyond medications it covers meals, chores, weight, a toilet log, breathing rate, vet appointments, refill reminders, a PDF vet report, Apple Watch and widgets. Its Pro tier adds household sharing through iCloud, where everyone sees the same schedule and who logged each dose, and logging a dose silences the reminder for others. If you want one app for the whole pet routine, PetPill does more than Flock does. The listing doesn't mention sitters specifically.
WoofTrak
WoofTrak is built around dogs and goes deep: adherence tracking, pill inventory with photo counting, seizure tracking with video, glucose and insulin tools, lab results and vet visit reports. It supports multiple dogs, each with a separate profile. For a dog with a complex chronic condition, it's the most thorough listing here. It's dog-only, and the listing doesn't describe a shared "who gave it" log.
Flock: Multi Pet Meds
Flock does one job: a shared log for homes with several pets and several caregivers. A Today screen lists every due medication. One tap marks a dose Given and records who gave it and when. Open doses can be snoozed or skipped, and a timeline shows who gave which pet what. The Household plan covers unlimited pets and can be shared with a partner or sitter. It also tracks care due dates such as vaccines and flea treatment, and uses local reminders.
Flock is a logging and reminder tool. The listing says plainly that it is not a vet diagnosis app, and it doesn't give dosing advice.
Where does Flock win, and where doesn't it?
Where Flock is the stronger fit:
- Shared dose certainty is the whole product. The "did someone already give the pill?" question is what the Today screen and the timeline answer.
- Sitters are named in the listing. Of the listings checked, Flock is the one that explicitly says the household can be shared with a sitter.
- Focus. There's no weight chart, toilet log or meal tracker to wade through if you only want medication certainty.
Where another app is better:
- Price for a single caregiver. PawsRx costs less per month and per year, and WoofTrak's annual price is close to Flock's. Flock's lifetime option may suit people who dislike subscriptions.
- Breadth. PetPill covers far more than medications, including Apple Watch and widgets.
- Chronic dog care. WoofTrak's seizure, glucose and inventory tools have no counterpart in Flock's listing.
- Track record. Flock launched in September 2026 and has no public ratings yet, like the others here.
PetPill is the closest rival on shared logging. The practical difference is scope: PetPill is an all-in-one pet care app with household sharing in its Pro tier, while Flock is built only around the shared medication log. The free tier's pet limit in Flock isn't stated on its listing, so check the app before relying on it.
Which should you choose?
- One person, several pets, lowest cost: PawsRx.
- One app for meals, chores, weight and vet visits, plus sharing: PetPill.
- A dog with seizures, diabetes or a complex medication plan: WoofTrak.
- Two or more people (or a sitter) giving meds to several pets, and you want a clear record of who did what: Flock.
Whichever you pick, these apps log and remind. They don't replace your vet's instructions, and none of the listings position them as diagnostic tools.
