Most pet owners do not skip vet appointments on purpose. They simply forget. A deworming cycle slips by two weeks. A flea treatment gets pushed back. A routine check-up sits on the mental to-do list until it is overdue. When you have one pet, that is manageable, barely. When you have two or three, it becomes genuinely difficult to stay on top of without some kind of system.
A pet healthcare reminder system exists to close that gap. Not a generic phone alarm with no context, but a dedicated tool that knows your pet’s schedule, tracks what has been done, and tells you what is coming up before you have to think about it.
That is exactly what KERT’APP does. Built by a French family of dog breeders and professional developers who managed this problem themselves daily, the app brings your pet’s appointments, treatments, activity records, and care files into one organised place, so nothing gets missed and nothing depends on memory alone.
What Is a Pet Healthcare Reminder System and Why Do You Need One?
A pet healthcare reminder system is a digital tool that tracks every care task your animal needs and notifies you at exactly the right moment so nothing slips through.
Traditional methods of sticky notes on the fridge, generic phone alarms, and handwritten pet care schedules fail for a simple reason: they lack context. An alarm that says “dog” at 8 AM tells you very little. Is it feeding time? Medication? A vet appointment? Research on digital veterinary notification systems confirms that reminders embedded in a dedicated pet care platform significantly improve pet owners’ compliance with health schedules compared to informal methods. When reminders include the right information and come at the right time, pets receive better, more consistent care.
Common pet wellness concerns, such as missed vaccinations, delayed flea control, skipped deworming cycles, and late grooming, are not usually caused by neglect. They are caused by forgetting. A well-designed reminder system solves that problem at the root.
How KERT’APP Works as a Pet Appointment and Reminder System
KERT’APP is a mobile and web application built by a French family of breeders and professional developers. Unlike generic calendar apps or productivity tools repurposed for pet care, KERT’APP was designed from the ground up for animals, informed by years of real, daily experience running a breeding kennel.
Here is what the reminder system actually does:
Smart, Automated Reminders for Every Core Pet Care Task
The moment you register your pet and fill in their profile, KERT’APP begins building a personalised reminder schedule. You do not have to manually set every alert from scratch. The automated reminder creation feature generates reminders for:
- Vaccinations: so your pet’s immunisation schedule stays on track year after year
- Deworming: with notifications timed to your pet’s specific treatment cycle
- Flea and tick control: reminders that follow monthly or seasonal treatment schedules
- Vet check-ups: so routine appointments are booked well in advance, not last-minute
- Grooming: because regular grooming is a health matter, not just an aesthetic one
- Pet food and supplements: reminders to restock before you run out
All reminders are visible from a single global reminder listing, so you always have a clear view of what is coming up for all your animals in one place. No switching between apps, no separate calendars, no guesswork.
Treatment Monitoring: Going Beyond the Basic Reminder
Knowing a treatment is due is one thing. Knowing it was actually given, at the correct dose, without missing a day, that is another matter entirely.
KERT’APP includes a dedicated treatment monitoring module that lets you log every dose of every medication your pet receives. Whether your animal is on a long-term prescription, recovering from an illness, or following a seasonal prevention protocol, you can track each administration in the app.
This is particularly important in multi-person households. When several family members share responsibility for a pet’s care, it is easy for doses to be doubled accidentally or missed entirely. With KERT’APP, the record is there for everyone to see.
This connects directly to how you create a proper pet care schedule: consistency, documentation, and visibility. KERT’APP provides all three.
Activity and Growth Tracking: Because Wellness Is More Than Appointments
Ensuring your pet’s health goes beyond booking vet visits on time. A truly healthy pet is an active one with a stable weight, appropriate exercise, and a healthy weight-to-height ratio as it grows.
KERT’APP’s activity and growth tracking tools allow you to:
- Log walks, exercise sessions, and outdoor activities with duration and distance
- Track your pet’s weight and height over time with visual growth curves
- Set movement reminders so daily walks are never forgotten, even on busy days
For puppy owners, kitten owners, or anyone monitoring a young animal’s development, these curves are invaluable. They give you a concrete record to share with your vet and help you spot early changes in growth patterns.
Reproduction Tracking: Health Monitoring at Every Stage
For breeders and owners of animals whose health is closely tied to their reproductive cycles, KERT’APP includes a dedicated reproduction tracking module. You can log breeding cycles directly in the app, and KERT’APP will analyse their frequency for you, giving you clear, data-backed insights rather than rough memory-based estimates.
This feature is especially useful for dog breeders, horse owners, and anyone managing animals whose care protocols vary with reproductive status.
Sharing the File: A Pet Care Schedule the Whole Family Can Follow
One of the most overlooked aspects of pet care is that it is rarely done by a single person. Dog sitters, trainers, family members, and stable managers all play a role. Yet most reminder systems are tied to a single phone, a single person.
KERT’APP solves this with its file-sharing feature. By entering a simple email code, you can share your pet’s complete health file with anyone who looks after them. Once shared, they can:
- See all upcoming reminders
- View the full treatment history
- Add new information or observations
This is how a pet care schedule should work as shared knowledge, not private information locked on one device. Whether you travel, work long hours, or simply want your partner involved in managing your cat’s appointments, KERT’APP makes it straightforward.
Privacy First: Your Pet’s Data Belongs to You
Many pet care apps monetise user data. KERT’APP does not. Your data is never sold, reused, or shared for marketing purposes. You register with nothing more than an email and a password. That is all that is required to get started.
This privacy-first approach is built into the app’s foundation, not added as an afterthought. It is one of the clearest ways KERT’APP differs from free alternatives that seem convenient until you read the terms of service.

Built by a Family That Lives This Every Day
KERT’APP was not created by a startup chasing investment. It was built by Anne-Marie, a dog breeder and behaviourist since 1997, who first learned to code on a Commodore 64, alongside her son Alexandre (the developer), her partner Philippe (the relentless bug-tester), her daughters Victoire and Sara (design and development consultants), and the rest of the Kertanhyys family. The name comes from their kennel, de Kertanhyys, based in Monesple, France.
They built it because their own animals deserved better, and because every family that adopted one of their dogs deserved reliable, long-term support. That origin is visible in every feature; nothing is added for show, everything has a practical purpose.
