Exotic pet care
Health records for the pets other apps ignore
Birds, reptiles, fish, rabbits, ferrets and small mammals get the same tools as dogs and cats in Pettioe — because nothing in the app is hard-coded to two species.
What you get
Open weight and breed fields work for a 45-gram budgie and a 60-kilo mastiff alike.
Exotic dosing is often fiddly and frequent. Reminders and dose logs keep it exact.
For small animals a few grams matters. Charts flag drift early.
Record shedding issues, beak or nail overgrowth, appetite change or water events over time.
Hand an avian, herp or aquatic specialist a complete history at the first appointment.
Unlimited pets, so a rack or a flock is recorded animal by animal.

Common questions
Which exotic pets does Pettioe support?
Any species you enter. Birds, reptiles, fish, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and amphibians all get the same profile, medication reminders, weight log, symptom log and medical record as a dog or cat.
Why do most pet apps not work for exotics?
They hard-code dog and cat vaccine schedules, dog and cat breeds, and dog and cat weight ranges. Pettioe keeps those fields open, so a 45-gram budgie and a 60-kilo mastiff both record accurately.
Can I track husbandry, not just medicine?
You can use the feeding log for diet and supplements, the weight log for growth and loss trends, and the symptom log with notes and photos for things like shedding problems, beak or nail overgrowth or water-quality events.
Is the AI useful for exotic species?
It answers from your own animal's records, which helps for tracking trends and preparing for an appointment. For husbandry and treatment, exotics need a vet with the right specialism — a herp vet, an avian vet or an aquatic specialist — and Pettioe says so rather than pretending otherwise.
Can I keep records for a whole group?
Yes. Unlimited pets means you can record a group individually, which is how most keepers track a rack of reptiles or a flock.
