IVDD Recovery
Dog Crate Rest & Care Tracker
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Track your dog's IVDD recovery with daily crate rest timers, medication logs, and check-ins. Built by a pet parent who's been through it.
IVDD Recovery helps dog owners stay organized, consistent, and supported during their pet's recovery from intervertebral disc disease.
Whether your vet has prescribed strict crate rest, multiple medications, or a careful return to mobility, this app gives you a calm, structured place to track it all — one day at a time.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Track Crate Rest
Start, pause, and stop a daily rest timer. Set your own goals, see today's recorded time, and review past sessions without scores or streaks.
Log Medications
Add the medications your vet has prescribed and track each scheduled administration separately as given or skipped. Review actual and scheduled times in calendar history.
Daily Check-Ins
Answer quick questions about how your dog is doing — and how you're doing, too. Select moods, tap quick observations like “Ate well” or “Calm day,” and write optional journal entries.
Emergency Quick Access
Save both your primary vet and emergency animal hospital for one-tap calls and directions. Search for nearby emergency care, contact ASPCA Poison Control, and review examples of changes that warrant an immediate call.
A Calmer Home Screen
See the care tools that may help today, along with neutral indicators for entries already recorded. Missed entries are never treated as failure, and there are no levels, streaks, or completion scores to protect.
Educational Content
Read articles about what IVDD is, what to expect during crate rest, how to prepare your home, and how to take care of yourself as a caregiver. All content is educational and general in nature.
Incident & Mobility Tracking
Log any setbacks or incidents with timestamps and notes. Track mobility observations over time and export reports to share with your vet.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
IVDD Recovery is NOT a veterinary medical tool. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or provide medical advice. All content is educational and organizational. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for medical decisions regarding your pet.
