A pet schedule connects one inventory item to one animal with a serving amount, frequency, date range, instructions, and active status.
Add a Schedule
- Open the pet's profile.
- Choose the Food section.
- Choose Add Food or Supplement.
- Select an inventory item.
- Enter the serving amount and the number of times per day, week, or month.
- Set optional start and end dates.
- Add instructions for the pet and choose whether the schedule is active.
- Save.
The product panel shows available calories, cost, default instructions, and allergens. A serving guideline matching the pet's size can prefill the serving amount; otherwise the product's default serving is used.
A pet can have multiple active food and supplement schedules. Create a separate schedule for each product when serving amounts, frequency, dates, or instructions differ.
The schedule form chooses a number of times per day, week, or month rather than arbitrary clock times. Daily care assigns standard slots in order—morning, midday, evening, and night for the first four servings—and shows their generated times in operational views. Put special timing guidance in the instructions.
The Pet Food Section
The pet profile groups the plan into:
- Diet details, daily amount, stock on hand, and estimated daily cost.
- Today's scheduled meal or dose rows.
- Food restrictions and allergen warnings.
- Counts of assigned foods and supplements.
Use the plus and minus controls on a schedule row for a quick serving-amount adjustment. Use Edit for frequency, dates, instructions, and active status.
Complete a Serving
Each expected serving has its own completion control for the current period. Mark it complete after the food or supplement is given. Select it again to undo the completion.
Daily schedules reset each day, weekly schedules each week, and monthly schedules each month. Completion also adjusts inventory; undoing it reverses the adjustment.
Generated serving slots also appear in Dashboard daily care, Upcoming, and Calendar. Create or edit the underlying schedule from the pet's Food section; those operational views are for reviewing and completing the resulting servings.
Cross-Pet Review
From More > Food & Supplements, choose Pets. Use:
- All Items, Food Only, or Supplements Only.
- The product filter to find every pet assigned a particular item.
- Active Only to hide inactive schedules.
- Search and name sorting.
- Gallery view for schedule controls and Table view for a compact scan.
Gallery cards show calories, cost, plan counts, allergen conflicts, instructions, frequency, and current completion slots. Use the pencil action for Quick Edit, which changes the serving amount, times per period, frequency, active status, and instructions.
Allergens and Estimates
An allergen warning appears when an active product's allergen tags overlap the pet's recorded special-needs information. Treat it as a prompt to verify the care plan rather than as a medical diagnosis.
Calories and cost are estimates. They depend on complete product nutrition, serving-size, package, cost, and schedule data.
