After losing our Pomeranian Raja a couple years ago to pancreatic cancer, I realized how hard it is to remember the small day-to-day changes—meals, behavior, energy, etc.

Looking back, I probably missed patterns until something felt “off.” That experience stuck with me, and it’s actually why I ended up building something to help track those kinds of changes more intentionally.

Curious, do most of you just rely on memory, or do you track things in some way?

Hey all, I’ve been building something and wanted to get some feedback from other founders.

The idea came from an experience and observation of others: most dog owners don’t actually remember what’s happening day to day with their dog. Things like food changes, behavior shifts, activity, small health signals. When something goes wrong, they’re trying to reconstruct everything from memory.

So I started building DogVida (currently on Android), which is a system of record for a dog’s daily life, with logging and a layer that surfaces patterns over time.

Right now the core is:

• quick logging for meals, activity, behavior, and health
• voice logging so you don’t have to type
• an assistant that looks at history and gives observational insights

Where I’m spending most of my time now is making sure this doesn’t become just another logging tool, but something that actually helps owners understand what’s going on over time.

Curious how you’d think about:

• making something like this sticky without adding friction
• balancing simplicity vs depth in a product like this
• early distribution channels that might work well for this kind of use case

Would appreciate any thoughts.
