An app for tracking care for cats with chronic kidney disease

How can Pawtient AI help track a cat with chronic kidney disease (CKD)?

Pawtient AI is built specifically for chronic-care pet parents. For CKD cats, it scans lab reports and explains every value (creatinine, SDMA, BUN, phosphorus, PCV) in plain English with IRIS staging context, tracks daily water intake and sub-Q fluid sessions, monitors recorded weight changes for the app’s 5% alert, and prepares vet-shareable summaries for every appointment.

Which CKD-specific features does Pawtient AI have?

• Lab value translator: every parameter on the report explained with normal range, what the trend means, and what to ask the vet.
• Sub-Q fluid tracker: log every session with site rotation, volume, and reaction notes.
• Water intake monitoring: multi-source tracking (drink, wet food, fountain, sub-Q). Log water intake and share the record with your veterinarian.
• Weight trend with 5% alert: automatic flag when your cat loses 5% body weight.
• IRIS staging context: the app shows where your cat's lab values fall in the IRIS 4-stage system.
• Phosphorus + diet guidance: context for low-phos prescription diets and binders.

How does the app’s 5% weight alert work for CKD cats?

Pawtient AI tracks weight changes for discussion with your veterinarian. The app’s weight alert threshold is 5%. For a 5 kg cat, that's 250 grams. Track weight changes and ask your veterinarian to assess both body and muscle condition. Record weight changes over time and share them with your veterinarian. Pawtient AI flags recorded weight changes of 5% or more.

Does Pawtient AI explain SDMA?

Yes. SDMA can reflect changes in kidney function earlier than creatinine. You do not need to compare the numbers yourself: download Pawtient AI and scan your blood test report with your phone, and the app will explain each value in plain language. Your veterinarian should interpret staging in a hydrated, stable cat alongside creatinine and other findings. See our plain-English SDMA guide.

Can multiple family members track the same cat?

Yes. Pawtient AI supports family sharing via QR code: both caregivers see real-time sync. Useful for shared sub-Q fluid schedules, medication reminders, and 'did you give the morning dose?' questions.

Is Pawtient AI free?

The app is free with optional premium features. Free tier covers daily logging and basic tracking. Premium unlocks unlimited blood test scans, AI consultations, vet visit summaries, and report generation. See pricing details.
