About ShakyBraves
Your pet's health matters. So does your peace of mind. Caring for a pet with a chronic condition is a lot. Vet visits, medication schedules, RRR and symptom monitoring etc. You're juggling a lot. ShakyBraves strives to lighten that load. ONE PLACE FOR EVERYTHING: RRR Breath monitoring, reminders, vet records, medication tracking, and symptom logs. Built specifically for cardiac pets, designed to keep you organized and your vet informed. DESIGNED FOR CONDITION MONITORING. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE JOURNEY. We started with monitoring resting respiratory rate (RRR), giving Pet Parents the tools to track and see trends over time. But managing your pet's care is more than counting breathing rates. It's about organizing vet visits across multiple specialists, keeping medication schedules straight, holding onto medical records, and catching symptom changes early, all while juggling work, life, and the emotional weight of a sick pet. We built ShakyBraves to be YOUR system for everything pet health-related: condition monitoring AND a complete, personal record system that you own and control. Whether you see one vet or many, these records are always accessible, organized the way you want them. WHAT YOU CAN DO IN SHAKYBRAVES: RRR MONITORING (THE HEART OF THE APP) • Track resting respiratory rate and keep a historic RRR log • Build your pet's unique baseline to spot meaningful changes • See RRR trends over time with clear graphs and meaningful context (notes, sleeping vs resting, activity levels) • Weather context (temperature, humidity, air quality) to understand what affects your pet's readings YOUR COMPLETE PET HEALTH RECORDS • Organize vet visit notes, dates, costs, and diagnoses in one searchable place you own • Upload and store medical documents (test results, imaging, prescriptions, vaccination records, insurance info, travel documents): yours to keep forever • Track weight, cardiac stage, and medication changes over time • Stop hunting for documents. Everything is here, and easy to find REMINDERS • Get reminders for everyday medications • Never forget vaccinations or treatments, like heart worm • Create custom reminders. Set a due date/time, and even make it recurring MEDICATION & SYMPTOM TRACKING • Log medications with dosages, schedules, and adherence tracking • Track symptoms check-ins (breathing effort, exercise tolerance, coughing, appetite, energy) • Spot patterns that help you and your vet make better decisions • Add "Ask the Vet" notes that automatically appear in shared reports COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR VET TEAM • Add your care team for easy communication • Share an always up-to-date health report with your vet or cardiologist • No more resending emails or creating new PDFs YOUR RECORDS, YOUR WAY • Keep all your pet's information in one place instead of scattered across emails, photos, and files • Access from any device, even offline. • Monitor multiple pets in your personal system • Access your records anywhere, even without WiFi (for camping, ER visits, travel) BUILT WITH YOUR VET IN MIND: ShakyBraves is designed with ACVIM (American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine) guidance and recommended by cardiologists and veterinarians. Your vet gets the between-visit data they actually need to make confident decisions for your pet. FOR PETS WITH CARDIAC CONDITIONS: Originally built for Mitral Valve Disease (MVD), ShakyBraves now supports: DCM, ARVC, PDA, TVD, HCM, RCM, CHF, and other heart conditions in both dogs and cats. ShakyBraves wants to help where we can, allowing pet parents to focus more on what matters: spending time with their pet.
