Pet Manager by Topo Factory is a software application for the Android smartphone that aims to assist you in managing your companions' healthcare. The software has a clean, easy to use and zippy interface. I've been using version 1.42 on a 600 mhz Motorola Charm running Android 2.1 without any lag or crashes so far.
You begin Pet Manager by inputting your pets' name and vital information, including date of birth, species, and breed. You can even add a picture to your pet's profile. After inputting the information, three new tabs appear: one is a dedicated weight history, another is for your pet's medical history, and finally one for future due reminders.
Nice features included in Pet Manager are the ability to select different veterinarians for each pet, and allowing you to import your vet's contact information from your address book. Pet Manager also has a "notes" section for alerts such as allergies, for example. I found the simple interface made it easy to view your pets' medical history at a glance.
Things that would make this application much more helpful:
-an additional tab for pet's prescriptions.
-an additional tab for owners' to input their pets' daily notes, such as appetite, stool condition, attitude, etc.
-integration of pets' reminders into the native Google calendar
-export data via for emailing, etc.
Despite these shortcocomings Pet Manager is still a very useful application, especially considering the price. (Just a couple of dollars or a free ad-supported version.) Pet Manager is available in the Android Marketplace from your smartphone.

T-na,
Thanks for this review! Been looking for a decent app for my HTC EVO. Now I can keep tabs on GrayC... :)

Jim,
Glad you may find the app useful. Credits go to Elias though since he's the Android person at the clinic and did the review. Hope GrayC does not give you TOO much reason to use this app!
