FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Orb iDog

Detailed answers for dog owners: everyday care, health, food, supplements, medicines, walks, future dog walker marketplace plans and the iPhone app.

Basics and everyday care

Orb iDog is positioned as a daily care assistant, not just a notebook or a generic dog app.

What is Orb iDog?

Orb iDog is a modern iPhone app for dog owners that helps organize everyday care: dog profile, health, food, supplements, medicines and walks. The goal is to keep important information from being scattered across notes, photos, alarms and memory.

Who is Orb iDog for?

Orb iDog is for dog owners who want a clearer routine: owners of young, active, senior or sick dogs, people with more than one dog, and families that need to remember food, medicines, walks and observations.

How does Orb iDog help with everyday dog care?

The app brings important daily tasks into one organized flow: profile, notes, health diary, feeding, medicines, supplements and walks. This gives the owner less chaos and better history when they need to understand what happened over the last days or weeks.

What does dog diary mean?

A dog diary is one place for useful routine records: food, walks, symptoms, weight, photos, medicines, supplements and important notes. It helps when behavior, appetite, activity or health condition changes.

Why use an app instead of a notebook?

A notebook stores text, but it does not connect profile, health, food, medicines, supplements and walks into one product flow. Orb iDog helps the owner see care as a history, not as scattered notes and alarms.

Health and observations

The health side is for organized observations and clearer vet conversations, without medical claims.

Can I track my dog’s health?

Yes. Orb iDog helps with a health diary, observations, symptoms, photos, weight and history. This is useful when you want to remember when a symptom started, whether body shape changed or whether behavior is different from normal.

Does Orb iDog replace a veterinarian?

No. Orb iDog does not replace a veterinarian and does not diagnose your dog. It helps organize information and observations so you can have a clearer conversation with a vet. For pain, limping, sudden decline or concerning symptoms, consult a veterinarian.

Is it suitable for a senior dog?

Yes. Senior dogs often need more consistent observation: walks, weight, appetite, medicines, supplements, joints, gait and behavior changes. Orb iDog helps keep this information more organized and easier to review.

Is it suitable for a sick dog or a dog on medicines?

Yes, as an organizational helper. If the dog takes medicines, supplements or needs chronic care, Orb iDog can help with reminders, history and a clearer routine. Dosage and treatment must come from a veterinarian or the product instructions.

Supplements, medicines and reminders

The main value is remembering and keeping history, without the app giving dosage advice.

How do I avoid forgetting my dog’s medicines?

The safest approach is a separate plan with medicine or supplement name, times and intake history. Orb iDog is aimed at reminders for medicines, tablets, pills and supplements, so the owner does not rely only on memory.

Can David or Orb iDog recommend dosage?

No. David and Orb iDog do not give dosage and do not prescribe treatment. They can help organize an existing plan, future doses and history. For dosage, follow a veterinarian or the official product instructions.

Food, diary and Food AI direction

Food is treated as part of the dog’s wider history: portions, reactions, weight, activity and supplements.

Can I keep a feeding diary?

Yes. A feeding diary helps track what the dog eats, when it eats, portions, treats, supplements or food changes. This is useful for sensitive stomachs, weight changes or vet conversations.

What are Food AI and barcode features?

Food AI and barcode support are a future or gradually activated direction for more context around packaged dog food. The idea is easier checking and diary context, but Orb iDog does not guarantee food safety and does not provide nutrition diagnosis.

How are food and health connected in Orb iDog?

When feeding, weight, symptoms, medicines and walks are in one history, the owner sees more context. For example, they can check whether appetite change overlaps with new food, less activity or a new supplement.

Walks and routine

Walks are part of everyday care and give useful context for activity, behavior and health.

Can I track my dog’s walks?

Yes. Orb iDog is aimed at a walk diary, local tracking, history, reminders and a clearer routine. This helps owners see whether the dog has enough activity and whether the daily rhythm changes.

How do walk reminders work?

Walk reminders help when the day gets busy and the owner may miss the usual time. The goal is a clearer rhythm and fewer missed routines, without the app promising impossible continuous tracking.

Dog walker marketplace and future live map functions

The marketplace direction is a strong future differentiator, but it is described carefully without false availability claims.

Will there be a dog walker marketplace?

Orb iDog is preparing marketplace functions step by step. The direction is to connect owners with dog walkers through an app-based flow: request, status, controlled handoff, active walk and history. We do not claim a public marketplace is available today.

What is the advantage over arranging a walk in chat?

With a normal chat arrangement, the owner often lacks clear status: when the dog was handed off, when the walk started, when it finished and what happened. Orb iDog is preparing a more structured flow for more peace of mind and less ambiguity.

Is a separate GPS device required for the dog?

The idea of future live map functions is to use the walker’s phone during an active walk. This can give the owner more peace of mind through the app, without necessarily buying a separate GPS device attached to the dog.

Are dog walker Sofia or dog walking Sofia features available?

This is an important future direction for Orb iDog. The site targets topics such as dog walking Sofia and dog walker Sofia, but the public marketplace is being developed step by step and is not presented as fully available today.

Access, pricing, iPhone and David

These answers explain the public positioning without promising unconfirmed availability.

Does Orb iDog work on iPhone?

Orb iDog’s public positioning is iPhone/iOS first. The website and demo present the iPhone experience. We do not claim Android availability unless it is officially announced.

How much does Orb iDog cost?

The public pricing direction is from €2.99 per month. Early access and product options open gradually, so pricing should be treated as clear positioning, not a claim that every paid option is already publicly live.

How can I join early access?

You can use the early access page or the website form to leave your email. That way you can receive product news, invitations and information about upcoming Orb iDog versions.

What can David, the virtual assistant, do?

David can answer questions about Orb iDog, everyday care, health, food, medicines, walks, privacy, pricing and the future dog walker marketplace. He uses prepared product knowledge, is not a veterinarian and should not be used for medical diagnosis.

Does the website store personal data from chat or forms?

The website may process data a visitor voluntarily submits through a form: name, email, phone, dog name or question. Do not send passwords, medical documents or sensitive data through the public chat.
