Dog Better

Terms of use

Updated October 3, 2026. The same text is shown inside the app under Settings.

Not veterinary care

Dog Better helps you notice what changed, decide what to do next, and show a vet or caregiver the full picture. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace a licensed veterinarian. Guidance in the app is general and may be wrong for your dog. If your dog is in distress, contact a vet or emergency clinic immediately.

Your account

You must be at least 16 to create an account. You are responsible for the accuracy of what you log and for keeping your sign-in secure. One account per person; one dog is free and Premium adds more.

Dog Better Premium

Premium is an auto-renewing subscription billed through your Apple ID, offered monthly and yearly at the price shown in the app before you subscribe. Some plans include a free trial; the trial length and the price after it are shown before you start. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, or at the end of the free trial. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings at any time; cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep Premium until the period ends. Refunds are handled by Apple under its terms. Records, emergency mode, the care sheet, visit medication reads, the treat scanner, and community stay free on every plan.

Your content

You own everything you log and upload. You grant us the limited right to store and process it so the app can work for you, including sending Look and food photos, visit documents, and the on-file facts Ask uses to our AI provider when you use those features. You can export or delete it at any time.

Community rules

Community and Barks are shared with other members, and you agree to these rules before your first post. There is zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive members: no harassment, hate, threats, sexual content, spam, or content that shows animal harm, and post only content you have the right to share. Posts are not veterinary advice: never tell another member what medicine or dose to give their dog. You can report any post or comment and block any member from inside the app. We review reports within 24 hours, remove content that breaks these rules, and suspend or close the accounts that post it.

Acceptable use

Do not misuse crowd reporting, attempt to access other people’s data, reverse engineer the app, or use automated tools against our services.

Product links

Some product recommendations open Amazon. Those links carry no affiliate tag today, so Dog Better earns nothing when you buy through them. If that changes, the note next to each link will say so. Recommendations are driven by your dog’s profile first; we only link to a product when it passes those rules. Product links never appear in Emergency, triage, or the clinic pack. See the affiliate disclosure at dogbetter.app/affiliates.html.

Availability and changes

We aim for the app to work every day, but it is provided as is, without warranty. We may change or discontinue features with notice where practical. Emergency information, your records, and the care sheet will not be placed behind a paywall. The vet summary file, which packs your records for a clinic, is part of Premium.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Do Better LLC is not liable for decisions made from information in the app, for content posted by other members, or for products bought through product links. Always confirm anything health related with your vet.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict of law rules.

Apple

If you got Dog Better from the App Store, Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula) also applies. These terms are between you and Do Better LLC, not Apple.
