Our Mission
PetBase was built for the moment you're standing at the vet's desk and you can't remember the name of the medication. For the boarding intake form that asks about vaccination dates you can't find. For everyone who loves their pet completely — and has lost the paperwork to prove it.
Our Story
Changed vets? Your dog's vaccination record is somewhere in your email. The flea medication your vet recommended — which brand was it again? Need to hire a sitter for the weekend? Better write down all three pets' medications, walking and feeding schedules, and your emergency contacts. Every. Single. Time.
This isn't neglect. This is what it looks like to care deeply about something in the modern world — where information lives in too many places, none of them designed for this.
Every pet owner we talked to had the same story. Not a disaster. Not a crisis. Just the constant, grinding friction of trying to do right by an animal who trusts you with everything.
Here's the thing that doesn't get said enough: your pet cannot advocate for themselves.
They can't tell the emergency vet what medications they're on. Can't explain that the specialist changed their diet eight months ago, or that the limp that comes and goes started after the park in October. They can't describe their own medical history, and they can't remind you where you put it.
That's not a small thing. That's the entire thing.
Being prepared for your pet isn't about being organized — it's about showing up for them the way they show up for you. Completely. Without holding anything back.
PetBase exists because that should be easier.
We built it on a simple belief: the information that matters most to your family shouldn't be scattered, rented, or sold. Your pet's health records belong to your family. Not to a platform. Not to an advertiser. Not to us.
Every health record in PetBase is encrypted on your device before it ever reaches a server. We store ciphertext, not medical records. We cannot read what you've written, and we will never try to monetize it.
This is what pet care looks like when it's built for you.
What We Believe
Your pet's data belongs to your family.
Not to platforms, advertisers, or analytics pipelines. We encrypt health records on your device before storage — we store ciphertext, not records — and we will never sell, share, or monetize it.
Prepared isn't a personality type.
It's a three-minute decision to put the vet's notes somewhere findable. The record-keeping that matters isn't a lifestyle — it's a simple act of care, and it should require the least possible friction.
Community is what makes it real.
The advice that actually helps comes from someone who's been there. A neighbor whose dog had the same issue. A local group that knows which vets take same-day appointments. The people who understand, without explanation, what this animal means to you.
The best tool is the one you actually use.
PetBase is designed to get out of your way. No medical jargon, no complicated forms, no onboarding you forget immediately. You show up, you add what you know, it's there when you need it.
Privacy as a Promise
Most apps treat privacy as a feature — a setting you can toggle, a policy you can accept, a badge they can put on the website.
That's not what this is.
When you add a health record in PetBase, it is encrypted on your device before it leaves it. We receive ciphertext. Our servers store ciphertext. We cannot read your pet's medical history, see your vet's notes, or access your family's health data — by design, not by policy.
Your pet's life is yours to keep. We built the system so that keeping it isn't something you have to trust us on.
The Community
Somewhere near you, there's a dog owner who knows which groomer actually does well with anxious dogs. A cat person who's been through exactly the food sensitivity issue you're dealing with. A neighbor who fostered the same breed and knows things no vet visit can teach you.
PetBase connects you with the people who get it — local groups organized by location and pet type, real conversations, shared experience that comes from living with animals rather than reading about them.
This isn't a feed. It's a neighborhood.
Built for the love you already give.
Free to use. No credit card. Encrypted from day one.
