I have a dog
Be among the first dog parents to build a record of what normal looks like for their dog.
Know your dog's normal.
Notice when it changes.
You see your dog every day, so small changes are easy to miss. Keep a record of what's normal, so you don't have to rely on memory alone.
Coming soon on iOS and Android
The moment you are not sure.
Something feels different, you just can't say what or since when.
Was he always walking like that?
It sounds like an easy question. But was he?
A shorter step
Has his stride changed, or does today just look a little different?
More weight on one side
Is one side doing more work than it used to?
A different posture
Would you remember what his stance looked like twelve months ago?
StevieHound Forward's starting point
Meet Stevie.
Stevie is the miniature dachshund our company mascot is named after.
Stevie lives for the simple things: a good nap in a warm patch of sun, a game that goes on just a bit too long, and a snack he definitely did not earn.
He also loves the occasional adventure that's far bigger than his little legs suggest. He's a deeply loving little doggo who's never happier than when he's snuggled up close to his humans.
He brings that same warmth and curiosity to everything he does. Even serious work should come with a wagging tail.
Simple on purpose.
A simple experience, with a lot happening underneath.

Your dog's movement story, kept with them throughout their life.
How often depends on your dog. For many dogs, checking in roughly once a month can build a useful picture over time.

First record
A starting point for what Stevie normally looks like when he moves.
You should not have to rely on memory alone when something changes.
Being a good dog parent doesn't mean noticing everything.
Pay attention
Without turning every walk into something to worry about.
Remember what matters
Even when life gets busy and the little details are easy to forget.
Have something real
To look back on, or bring to someone who can help.
Built around your dog
Your dog isn't every other dog. We want to understand your dog as an individual.
Feel more prepared at the vet
Bring a clearer record of what you noticed and how it has changed.
Follow recovery with confidence
See what is getting better, staying the same, or needs attention.
Then you get back to the important part:being with your dog.
