AuraDog is built around the conversations that happen between you, your dog, and your vet — and the gaps in between.
“He seems off, but I can't say how.”
Dogs don't describe symptoms. Gut feelings don't travel well to the vet.
Structured 3-dimension check-ins
Log breathing, water intake, and energy every morning in under 30 seconds. Turn fuzzy feelings into a timeline.
“Count his breaths for a minute.”
Counting respirations by eye is exhausting — and easy to miscount by 5–10 BPM.
Audio-assisted breathing check
Place your iPhone microphone near your resting dog in a quiet room. AuraDog estimates the breathing rate and saves the result for your timeline.
“Is 35 BPM too high for my dog?”
Generic thresholds ignore that every dog has a unique resting rate.
Personal baseline & dynamic bands
Your first measurement sets the baseline. Pro learns your dog's normal range over time and flags what is abnormal for them — not a generic textbook.
“Last vet visit is already a blur.”
Visit notes live on paper, in photos, or in your memory. Never in one place.
One printable source of truth
Vet visits, check-in history and abnormal breathing events get rolled into a multi-page PDF report — ready to hand over.
“Where does my dog's data go?”
Most pet apps upload everything to servers you'll never see.
On your iPhone, period.
No account. No cloud sync. Your dog health records stay on your iPhone — the only export path is the PDF you tap to share.
AuraDog mirrors your routine: a morning glance, a 30-second check-in, a calm breathing check, a visit to log, a profile to admire.
Home
The Today screen surfaces exactly what needs your attention — a gentle greeting, today's check-in status, your dog's latest BPM, and an early warning banner when breathing strays from the baseline.
Daily check-ins
Log breathing, water intake, and energy as good / okay / off. A streak badge rewards consistency. Notes capture the details — “shivered at dinner”, “barked through the night”.
Breathing
Auto mode uses the iPhone microphone while your dog rests, then estimates breaths per minute on-device. Prefer the old-fashioned way? Manual mode lets you tap along to 15 / 30 / 60-second windows.
Medical
Log clinic, vet, reason (6 presets), diagnosis and notes. Icon-coded reasons make the list scannable. Free plan keeps up to 2 records; Pro lifts the cap and unlocks the PDF export.
Profile
Name, breed (21 illustrated presets + custom), birthday, weight. A Wellness Score ring blends baseline adherence, check-in completion and recent abnormalities into one clear number.
AuraDog's audio breathing checker runs on your iPhone — no cloud upload, no account, no complicated setup.
Measure when your dog is sleeping or resting calmly. Avoid moments right after exercise, heat, excitement, or loud background noise.
Step 1Hold your iPhone or place it beside your dog with the microphone about 1–3 cm from the nose. Keep your dog's head as still as comfortable.
Step 2Auto mode listens for a short window and shows a simple waveform while it works. Use Manual mode if the room is noisy or the result feels uncertain.
Step 3AuraDog estimates BPM, compares it with your dog's personal baseline, and saves it — all without sending your dog's health data to us.
Step 4
Measurement setup
Use AuraDog when your dog is resting, ideally sleeping, and the room is not too noisy. Keep the iPhone microphone close to the nose, about 1–3 cm away. Automatic measurements can be imperfect, so repeat with Manual mode when a result seems doubtful.
AuraDog is not medical advice and its breathing results are not clinical results. If your dog seems unwell, is breathing with effort, or you are worried, contact a licensed veterinarian.

Veterinary resources encourage tracking breathing while a dog is calm or asleep because persistent changes can be worth discussing. AuraDog's Pro tier summarizes 30 days of resting data in plain English for you and your vet to review.
Resting-rate creep
AuraDog watches the slow trend of your dog's resting and just-woke-up readings across 30 days, and tells you in plain English whether things are calm, drifting, or worth a vet call.
Personal abnormality bands
Instead of a generic ±15% rule, Pro learns your dog's own variability over the last two weeks — so a calm Shiba and an excitable Malinois each get fair thresholds.

Your dog's profile, breathing records, check-ins and vet visits live locally on your iPhone. They are not uploaded to AuraDog servers.
AuraDog does not use iCloud, cloud storage, or cross-device sync. Your records stay on the iPhone where you create them.
No sign-up, no email, no advertising identifiers. We do not track dog profiles, breathing records, check-ins, vet visits, photos, or audio.
The microphone is used only when you start an Auto breathing measurement. Audio is processed on your iPhone for that check and is not uploaded to us.

No. AuraDog is a home observation and record-keeping tool, not a medical device. Breathing measurements are estimates for reference only, and the PDF report is designed to support, not replace, a veterinarian's clinical exam.
A dog resting respiratory rate is the number of breaths your dog takes per minute while calm, relaxed, or asleep. Veterinary references commonly describe resting ranges around 12–35 BPM for many dogs, but your dog's own baseline and your veterinarian's guidance matter most.
AuraDog Auto mode uses your iPhone microphone for an audio-based breathing check. Use it when your dog is resting or sleeping in a quiet room, keep the head as still as possible, and place the microphone about 1–3 cm from the nose for a 30- or 60-second recording.
Contact a veterinarian if your dog's resting breathing rate is repeatedly higher than their normal baseline, if breathing looks labored, or if you notice weakness, coughing, blue-tinged gums, collapse, or other signs of distress. Do not delay veterinary care because of an app reading.
Yes. AuraDog helps you organize breathing rate checks, daily wellness notes, vet visit records, and context over time. You can export a vet-ready PDF report to make conversations clearer, while your veterinarian remains responsible for diagnosis and treatment.
All breeds. AuraDog includes 21 hand-drawn breed illustrations, and dogs outside that list can still use every feature with a warm default illustration.
AuraDog is designed to be private by default. There is no account system, no iCloud sync, and your dog health records are stored locally on your iPhone. Microphone access is used for breathing checks, while camera or photo access is only for profile photos.
When AuraDog is available on the App Store, AuraDog Pro subscriptions will be billed through Apple's App Store with monthly and yearly options. You will be able to manage or cancel subscriptions from Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
Install AuraDog on your iPhone and build your dog's personal breathing and wellness baseline over calm daily moments.
