“When did we last give the dog his flea medication?” If you’ve ever had this conversation with your partner — both of you unsure, neither wanting to double-dose or skip a month — you know the problem.

Pet care involves a lot of recurring tasks that don’t happen on neat schedules. Flea medication is roughly monthly. Vet checkups are roughly annual. Grooming depends on the breed, the season, and honestly whether you remember to book it.

The problem with reminders

You could set calendar reminders, but pet care doesn’t follow a strict calendar. Flea medication is “every 30 days” but you gave it on the 3rd last month and the 7th this month and now your calendar reminder is out of sync. The vet said “come back in about a year” but you can’t remember if that was last January or last March. (Vehicle maintenance has the same drift problem — calendar reminders for oil changes that never quite line up with reality.)

Just log it when you do it

LastDid takes the simplest possible approach. When you give the flea medication, tap “Flea Meds.” When you visit the vet, tap “Vet Visit.” When you take the dog to the groomer, tap “Grooming.”

That’s it. No scheduling, no recurring reminders, no complex setup.

Next time you’re wondering “Has it been a month since the flea medication?” you open LastDid: “Flea Meds — 26 days ago.” Question answered.

Pet care tasks people track

• Flea/tick medication — Monthly treatments
• Heartworm medication — Monthly preventative
• Vet checkup — Annual wellness visits
• Vaccinations — Annual or as scheduled
• Grooming — Baths, haircuts, nail trims
• Teeth cleaning — Professional dental cleanings
• Flea treatment (home) — Yard or house treatments
• Pet food order — When you last restocked

Multi-pet households

If you have more than one pet, you can create separate tasks: “Luna — Flea Meds” and “Max — Flea Meds.” Each pet gets their own tracking, their own patterns, their own history.

When the vet asks

“When was the last time you…?” Vets ask this a lot. Instead of guessing, you pull up LastDid. “Flea medication — 28 days ago. Last vet visit — 11 months ago. Last dental cleaning — 14 months ago.” Your vet will appreciate the precision, and you’ll feel more confident about the care you’re providing.

Notes for context

LastDid lets you add a note when you log an activity. “Vet Visit” with a note like “Annual checkup, all clear, next rabies shot due 2027” gives you a quick reference that a calendar event never would.

Peace of mind

The real value isn’t the data itself — it’s the peace of mind. You stop worrying about whether you forgot something. You stop having the “did you give the dog his pill?” conversation. The information is there when you need it and invisible when you don’t.
