Sound Familiar?

You notice your pet acting differently but can't answer "since when?" at the vet. You thought you remembered the vet's instructions but they're fuzzy by the time you get home. Food change dates and medication schedules blur together. Pet care records can't rely on memory alone.

Forgetting Vet Instructions

You understood during the visit, but back home you can't recall medication dosage or dietary restrictions.

Can't Track When Changes Started

"When did the appetite decrease?" "How many days has the diarrhea lasted?" — questions you can't answer accurately.

Vaccination & Medication Schedule Confusion

When was the last heartworm medication? When's the next vaccine? You wrote it in a notebook but can't find it.

Why Simple Memo Transforms Pet Care Records

With Simple Memo, you can send a pet record in 10 seconds from the vet's waiting room or during a walk. Tag with your pet's name like "[Momo]" and before the next visit, one email search shows the complete history. Just show your phone to the vet for accurate information sharing.

4-Step Pet Care Workflow

At the vet: Record instructions immediately — In the waiting room after the exam: "[Momo] Blood work normal. Switch food to Royal Canin digestive. Next visit in 3 months."
Daily: Log meals & health — Note appetite and condition changes as they happen. "[Momo] Ate all breakfast. Stool normal. Active and happy."
During walks: Record notable behavior — Limping, eating grass, barking at other dogs — memo any changes immediately during the walk.
Before vet visits: Search email to prepare — Search "[Momo]" to see past diagnoses, meal records, and health changes. Share with the vet accurately.

Real Scenario Examples

Scenario 1 — After Vet Visit

Momo's regular checkup is done. In the waiting room:

[Momo/Checkup] Weight 11.5 lbs (up from 11.0). Blood work normal. Slight tartar → consider dental cleaning next time. Heartworm meds prescribed (monthly through June). Next visit: September

Scenario 2 — Health Change Tracking

Cat Taro has had reduced appetite since yesterday:

[Taro] 3/6 Left half of breakfast (2nd day in a row). Drinking water normally. No vomiting. Active but quieter than usual. If continues tomorrow → vet visit

Scenario 3 — Food Switch Record

Switching to new food. Recording the transition:

[Momo/Food] 3/6 started Royal Canin digestive support. Day 1: ate eagerly, finished everything. Stool: slightly soft (normal during transition). Monitor for 1 week

FAQ

Can I memo vet instructions right away?

Yes. Jot down the key points in the waiting room after the exam. Search your email before the next visit to review.

Can I track multiple pets separately?

Prefix each memo with the pet's name tag, e.g., "[Momo]" or "[Taro]". Search by name to filter records for each pet.

Can it serve as a vaccination reminder?

Send a memo like "Next vaccine: July 15" and snooze that email as a reminder. You can also add it to Google Calendar later.

Can I share pet records with family?

Yes. Set a family member's email as the destination, and pet care memos will be shared with everyone automatically.

Is the free plan enough for pet care?

3 sends per day covers daily needs, free forever. On vet days, consider the Premium plan (500 yen/month, unlimited).
