What Pawza is, in plain words.
Most of a pet’s health history arrives on paper: a vaccination certificate from the shelter, a printout after a late-night visit, an invoice with a dose written on it. Then the vet asks when the limping started, or you stand in the kitchen unsure whether this morning’s pill went in. Pawza keeps those answers in one record per pet, on the iPhone or iPad you already carry.
We don’t think a pet’s medical file needs an account on someone else’s server, so Pawza has none. Text recognition runs on your device, and so does Apple Intelligence extraction (with Pawza Pro, on iOS 26 and an eligible device). Imported photos lose their location data. If you sign in to iCloud, records sync between your own devices through your private iCloud. Lagerland Apps has no server to receive them and cannot read them.
A one-tap care log for food, water, walks, bathroom breaks, and mood, eight free widgets, a Control Center button on iOS 18, and Siri phrases such as “Log walk in Pawza” add up to the pattern the vet asks about. The Since last vet visit card counts what changed since the last appointment, and with Pro the Vet Visit PDF puts it on one page. Pawza keeps the record and leaves the diagnosis to your vet: weight alerts and symptom logs help you describe what happened.
Is Pawza right for you?
- You have a drawer of vet paperwork and want it as one searchable record
- Your pet takes daily medication and you have asked yourself whether today's dose was given
- You keep several pets, foster, or care for a senior pet with more than one vet
- You have had your pet for years and want the old records in without typing them
- You'd rather your pet's records stayed on your devices than in an account on someone else's server
- You leave your pet with a sitter now and then, or want a plan ready if they ever slip out
- You want a social network for pets, public profiles, or a feed
- You want to message a vet or book appointments inside the app
- You need a GPS tracker; the Lost Pet Kit is a poster, a QR collar tag, and a checklist
- Several people need to edit the same pet's records; sync covers your own devices only
- You use Android, a Mac, or an Apple Watch; Pawza runs on iPhone and iPad
What you can do
The method behind every insight.
Scanning is where Pawza saves the most typing. Here is what happens between photographing a vet document and a saved record, and where each step runs.
-
01
You snap the document
Scan a vaccination certificate, lab result, prescription, invoice, or discharge notes with the camera, or pick up to five photos of it. If a page is too blurry to read, Pawza asks for a retake.
-
02
The text is read on your device
Apple Vision reads the text on your iPhone or iPad, and nothing is uploaded. This works on every device Pawza supports. The free plan includes 10 scans; Pro has no limit.
-
03
Apple Intelligence fills in the fields (Pro)
With Pawza Pro on iOS 26 or later and a device that supports Apple Intelligence, the on-device model picks out the document type, visit date, vet and clinic, vaccinations, medications, diagnoses, weight, next-due date, and a short summary. A course written as "for 10 days" gets an end date. Without Apple Intelligence, the review form opens with the recognized text and you fill in the fields.
-
04
You check everything before it is saved
Every scan ends on an editable Review screen with the original text beside it. Extraction can be wrong, so nothing goes into the record until you confirm it.
-
05
Reminders come from the document
Pawza can turn a booster date or a "next visit due" line into a reminder. Reminders can be one-time or repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, and you can mark one done or snooze it for an hour from the notification.
-
06
The history goes to the vet as a PDF (Pro)
Before an appointment, the Vet Visit PDF gathers what changed since the last visit, current medications and diet, vaccination status, recent weight, symptoms, and the last 7 days of care, plus your own "What to discuss" notes. Pick 30 days, 90 days, a year, or all time, and share it as a PDF or an image.

What actually belongs in your pet's medical record, and who asks for it
Your vet has a record. It is their record of their visits, and it stops at the door of their practice. The record that matters is the one you can produce yourself, at 11pm in an emergency clinic across town or at a ke...

Quick reference: what Pawza is, on one screen
What it is: Pawza is a health application for iOS and iPadOS, built by Lagerland Apps, an independent Apple developer focused on privacy-first software.
What it does: Pet health record app for iPhone and iPad. Scan vet papers on your device, log care from widgets, share a vet PDF. Free for one pet, no account.
Positioning: Scan a vet document and Pawza reads it on your device. With Pawza Pro on iOS 26 and an eligible device, Apple Intelligence fills in the record for you to check. Log a meal or a walk from a widget, Control Center, or Siri. There is no account, and sync runs through your own iCloud.
Key capabilities:
- Scan a vet document: Photograph a certificate, lab result, prescription, invoice, or discharge note, up to five pages at a time. Apple Vision reads it on the device. With Pro on iOS 26 and an eligible device, Apple Intelligence fills in dates, vet, vaccines, medications, diagnoses, and the next-due date, and you review every field before saving. Free includes 10 scans with manual fill.
- Import past records: Pick one records PDF of up to 100 MB. Pawza reads every page, splits it into visits by date and, with Apple Intelligence, pulls out the vet, vaccines, medications, and weights for each. Merge, split, or discard visits, then save once. On iOS 26, long files keep going in the background.
- Care log, widgets, and Siri: One-tap chips log food, water, walks, toilet trips, and mood on five levels. Eight free widgets put a care streak, a quick-log button, upcoming reminders, and every pet's last meal and walk on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. A Control Center button on iOS 18 and phrases such as "Log walk in Pawza" work without opening the app.
- Medications, vaccines, and reminders you can answer: Add a medication course with its dose and a repeating reminder, and tap Given on the notification to record each dose. Turn on Track supply and Pawza counts the doses left and adds a refill reminder. Vaccines keep the date given, next due date, and lot number. A reminder marked Time-sensitive breaks through Focus, and a one-time one re-alerts after 5, 15, and 30 minutes until you act.
- Weight chart and weight alerts: Log weigh-ins in kg or lb, down to two decimals for kittens, rabbits, and toy breeds, and see the trend over the range you choose. With Pro, Pawza alerts you when weight changes quickly, for example a loss of 8% or more in 30 days. The alerts compare change over time; they are not a healthy-weight range.
- Symptoms, records, and photos: Log a symptom with its area, severity, a note, and up to three photos, so "when did it start?" has a date. Records hold up to 10 photos or PDFs each, and you can search them or filter by vet or clinic. The photo gallery filters by vet visit, symptom, and milestone; Pro adds auto-sorting (correct any it gets wrong) and side-by-side Compare Photos.
- Vet Visit PDF and Since last vet visit: The free dashboard card shows what changed since the last visit. With Pro, one tap builds a PDF with medications, diet, vaccinations, weight, symptoms, the last week of care, contacts, and insurance, on Letter or A4 paper. Where Apple Intelligence is available it writes the summary paragraph; otherwise a template does.
- Emergency Card, Lost Pet Kit, and Sitter Pack: The Emergency Card holds allergies, current medications, insurance, microchip details, and a call button for the vet, the emergency clinic, and your backup contact, even offline. The free Lost Pet Kit has a printable poster, a QR collar tag any phone can scan, and a first-hours checklist. With Pro, the Sitter Pack prints feeding times, doses, a day-by-day checklist, and who to call for stays of up to 31 days.
- Import from a file, export with Pro: Bring records over from a Pawza backup (JSON) or a CSV file, with a preview before anything is added. Importing is always free. With Pro, export everything as a JSON backup, a ZIP of spreadsheets, or a PDF for each pet.
Best for: You have a drawer of vet paperwork and want it as one searchable record; Your pet takes daily medication and you have asked yourself whether today's dose was given; You keep several pets, foster, or care for a senior pet with more than one vet; You have had your pet for years and want the old records in without typing them; You'd rather your pet's records stayed on your devices than in an account on someone else's server; You leave your pet with a sitter now and then, or want a plan ready if they ever slip out.
