PetMD Symptom Checker: This app takes its cues from other symptom checking apps, only rather than picking out human body parts and describing symptoms, with petMD, you consult a chart of cat and dog body parts and look up symptoms. The app references more than 2,500 articles on various dog and cat maladies, with remedies and veterinary information.
Pet Services Finder : This app fetches info on the nearest veterinarians, emergency clinics, dog parks, animal-friendly hotels, and more for any location and features ratings and reviews. Definitely would be useful if you’re on the go, either running errands or on vacation, with your pets!

KitTox may have the answer.
Tagg: Never worry about your dog’s whereabouts again! Tagg is essentially a GPS attachment for your dog’s collar that’s sure to bring you peace of mind.
