Count my breaths for iPhone

Count my breaths: A Helpful App for Pet Owners with Heart Disease

Count my breaths is a free iPhone app designed specifically for pet owners who have a pet living with heart disease. Heart disease in dogs is a common condition, and while diet and exercise can play a role, most cases cannot be avoided. Routine checkups with a veterinarian are recommended, especially for older dogs, at least once a year or every 6 months.

One of the key signs of heart disease or heart failure in pets is fast breathing when resting or sleeping, typically exceeding 30 breaths per minute. Count my breaths aims to assist pet owners in monitoring their pets' breathing rate, particularly for those pets who are on medications like furosemide and pimobendan.

Although still in its early stages of development, Count my breaths is a valuable tool for pet owners with pets suffering from heart disease. The app's creators, who have a pet with this condition themselves, welcome feedback and feature requests to improve the app in the future.
