Create a routine

2 min read · Updated Oct 29, 2026

A routine is a set of doses, and optional tracker check-ins, that you give on a schedule, like "Morning meds". Once it's saved, Recall lists each dose on Care and sends a reminder when it's due.

Before you begin

Add your pets, and add their medications to the Cabinet. A routine can only use medications set up for that pet. You need Manage routines & trackers in your household role.

Create the routine

  1. Go to Care › Manage › Routines and select New routine.
  2. Enter a Name, like "Morning meds".
  3. Under Where it's used, keep Repeat on a schedule on. Also turn on Available anytime if you'd like to log it outside its schedule too.
  4. Under Doses, choose a pet from Add a pet and select Add pet.
  5. Select Add a medication or tracker for [pet], choose one, and select Add.
  6. If there's more than one size, choose the Size. Then enter the Amount. Repeat for each medication and pet.
  7. Under When, enter a New time and select Add a time. Add as many times as you need.
  8. Choose an option under Repeat, like Every day. Compare the repeat options.
  9. Set the Starts date, and an Ends date if it's a short course.
  10. Check the NEXT DOSES preview to make sure the times look right.
  11. Under Reminders, keep Send a reminder when it's due on, and choose Everyone in the household or Choose people.
  12. Select Save routine.

What happens next

  • Each dose appears on Care when it's due, and the people you chose get a reminder in the bell. Whether it also arrives by push or email depends on each person's notification settings.
  • One routine can cover several pets. Each pet gets their own rows.
  • If the pet has their own amount for a medication, it fills in for you, with "Filled in from [pet]'s dosing rule".
  • Products whose stock isn't counted, like ointments, show "As directed" instead of an amount.
