For dogs and cats with heart disease, the sleeping breathing rate is the earliest warning sign. PawBeat makes the daily count effortless - silent, one-handed, in the dark - and alerts you at the threshold your vet set.
For pets with MVD, DCM, HCM or CHF, a rising sleeping breathing rate often shows up before any visible symptom. Vets prescribe a daily count for exactly that reason.
Your pet is finally asleep, the lights are off, and you are counting breaths against a phone stopwatch. PawBeat is a silent tap counter that works one-handed in the dark and never loses a reading.
"It seemed faster lately" is hard to act on. A clean chart against the target your vet set - plus meds, episodes and weight - makes the next appointment count.
Tap along with each breath; PawBeat computes breaths per minute. No sounds, works in the dark, auto-saves even if a call interrupts.
Set the target your vet gave you (default 30/min). Two consecutive sleeping readings above it triggers an alert with a one-tap call button.
Daily checklist for furosemide, pimobendan and the rest - with reminders and med-change markers on your charts.
Record coughing or fainting episodes with severity and an optional video for your vet. Videos never leave your phone.
Track weight and simple QoL scores - the context your vet weighs alongside the breathing trend.
A one-page report: breathing chart with target line, med compliance, episodes and weight - plus a monthly AI summary for your vet.
PawBeat has no ads, no analytics and no location tracking. Readings and meds sync through your own private iCloud; episode videos never leave your phone at all. The monthly AI brief sends a summary of readings (never video) to our AI service, then discards it.
Episode videos are never uploaded - not even to iCloud.
Readings sync in your Apple account, not our servers.
Privacy is the point, not the price.
For dogs and cats with heart disease, a rising sleeping respiratory rate is one of the earliest signs of fluid building up in the lungs. Catching the trend early - usually above about 30 breaths per minute - is exactly what your vet wants to know.
Wait until your pet is fully asleep, then tap once per breath (one rise and fall of the chest). PawBeat computes breaths per minute and saves the reading automatically - silently, so your pet stays asleep.
No. PawBeat records your own observations and surfaces them against the target your vet set. Diagnosis and treatment decisions always belong to your veterinarian - and if your pet is in distress, contact a vet immediately.
