Custom pet-care tasks

Albert Pallé on 06/11/2020

The 11pets applications include reminders for every task related to caring for your pets. These cover preventive treatment (e.g. deworming, vaccinations), hygiene care, medications etc.

In addition to the build-in tasks, you can program your own tasks and reminders through the “Schedule” menu which you can access from the main screen of the application.

Periodic custom tasks

Sometimes it is useful for these custom tasks to be periodic. As an example, assume that a pet, has 3 visits to the vet, every other day, in order to follow-up on a severe infection. You will see this option if you have the 11pets: Adopt app or the Productivity Plan of the 11pets: Pet Care app (if you do not, just upgrade to the Productivity Plan now to enjoy 10 additional pet-care features).

To add a periodic task, define your task as repetitive.

Then define the details of the repetition. In our example, we want this task to be every two days and repeat 3 times. In this case, as the task regards a visit to a vet, we also include the contact information of the clinic.
