Senior Dog Care for the Changes That Happen Slowly
Practical guides and simple tracking tools for appetite, mobility, comfort, medication, weight, behavior and clearer veterinary conversations.
Direct answer: Buddylio supports senior dog care with practical educational guides and a dog health tracking app. The app is also designed for adult dogs and dogs taking medication. It is not limited to seniors.
Completely free: Every feature is included, with no ads, subscriptions, paid tiers, trials or locked tools.
Start with a daily baseline
A one minute daily check in creates context for the days that feel different. Use it for observable changes and keep veterinary advice separate from the log.

What Buddylio does not do
Buddylio does not diagnose, treat or predict disease. The guides are educational and the app organizes owner entered observations. Contact your veterinarian when your dog seems sick, is in pain or you are worried.
Common questions
Is Buddylio only a senior dog app?
No. Senior dogs are an important use case, but Buddylio also supports adult dogs, medication routines and recurring health concerns.
What should I monitor in a senior dog?
Appetite, mobility, comfort, mood, sleep, energy, medication routines and periodic weight are useful observable signals.
Can Buddylio diagnose dementia or arthritis?
No. A veterinarian must assess medical causes.
