What is Meal Time for Pets?
Meal Time is an app for recording meals, medication, weigh-ins, care actions, and one-off events, and for coordinating shared pet care.
How do I add my pet?
On Today, tap “Add a new pet,” enter the details you want to keep, and save.
How do I schedule a meal or medication?
Open the pet, add an action, choose its type, set the time and amount where relevant, choose days or a scheduled pattern, and save.
What is the difference between a scheduled action and Quick Log?
A scheduled action represents care expected in the future. Quick Log records an event that already happened and does not create a future reminder.
How do I mark care as complete?
Tap the relevant action on Today after it happens. Check the pet, action, and date before recording the outcome.
Can I record that my pet refused food or ate only part of a meal?
Use the action’s outcome menu. Some detailed outcome and note options may require premium access.
Can I track treats, walks, or water?
Yes. Quick Log lets you create custom named, icon-based buttons for one-off care events.
Can multiple caregivers use Meal Time?
Yes. With Group Hub, members can view activity and coordinate coverage. Available features depend on your group setup.
Why did I not receive a reminder?
Check iOS notification permission and the preference inside Meal Time. Also confirm the action’s schedule, pet, and date.
Does Meal Time replace veterinary advice?
No. Meal Time is a record-keeping and coordination tool, not a diagnostic, treatment, or emergency service.
Can I review completed or missed care?
Yes. Summary and history show recent activity, missed items, weekly completion, and other available records.
Can I use my data on another device?
For cross-device or group continuity, use the appropriate signed-in or claimed account state. Do not assume complete recovery from a guest session.
