A routine can hold medications, tracker check-ins or both, so it works for much more than daily pills. Here are some ideas, using Recall's repeat options.
Grooming and hygiene
| Idea | How to set it up |
|---|---|
| Teeth brushing | A number of times per week or month: 3 times a week, any days. |
| Nail trims | Every few days, weeks or months: every 3 weeks. |
| Ear cleaning | Certain days of the week: Monday and Thursday, with your ear cleaner from the Cabinet. |
| Baths | Every few days, weeks or months: every 1 month, with your shampoo tracked by rough level. |
Prevention and supplies
| Idea | How to set it up |
|---|---|
| Heartworm and flea or tick prevention | Certain dates of the month: the 1st. |
| Fountain filter changes | Add the filters to the Cabinet as a counted product, then a routine every 4 weeks. Each change counts one down, and a low stock alert tells you when to reorder. |
Health checks
| Idea | How to set it up |
|---|---|
| Weekly weigh-in | A routine with only the Weight tracker as a check-in, once a week. |
| Monthly nose-to-tail check | The ready-made Lymph node check, Ear check and Gum check trackers as check-ins, every 1 month. Add anything new to the body map. |
| Senior pet check | Mobility, Appetite and Energy check-ins once a week, so slow changes show up in Insights. |
| After surgery | Pain medicine with A set time after the last dose, like every 8 hours, plus a daily note check-in about the incision. Give it an Ends date. |
Changing doses
Tapers and slowly increasing doses can be planned once with Changes over time (like a taper). Here's how to set one up.
Tip: Name routines for when they happen, like "Sunday checks", rather than for the pet. Everyone then knows what to do at a glance.
