PaHoVit exists to preserve the one thing no one else has: the complete story of your animal's life.
Why I Built PaHoVit
Caring for animals isn't just something I do — it's what I do. As a barn manager and lifelong animal owner, I've spent my life caring for dogs, cats, and horses. Each animal is different, with its own needs, personality, and health challenges.
One of my dogs, Maggie, was the one who made the problem impossible to ignore. She developed one serious health problem after another — before long we were juggling specialists, medications, surgeries, lab work, and emergency visits. I kept it all organized myself — every medication, every visit, every date — because even when records moved between practices, a complete file isn't the same as a curated one. Her surgeons didn't need every receipt or every routine appointment. They needed the information that actually mattered for the decision in front of them. Pulling that story together always fell to me. The time I spent organizing and tracking could have been spent with her.
Then I realized it wasn't just Maggie. The same thing was happening with the horses. Every horse is different, with its own history, sensitivities, and responses to treatment. The details that matter accumulate over years — and I am always the one connecting them.
That's the thing about animals. Protocols exist because they work most of the time. But every animal is physiologically unique, and every animal you love deserves care that reflects that understanding. No veterinarian, specialist, or emergency clinic sees your animal's entire journey. You are the only one who sees the complete picture. Keeping track of what makes an animal different has always been the owner's job. I built PaHoVit to make that job easier.
I didn't set out to build a company. I set out to solve a problem I'd been living with for years. When I realized so many other owners must be dealing with the same thing, PaHoVit became something bigger. It became the tool I wished I'd always had.
Become a Founding Beta Tester
PaHoVit is a mobile health record app for dog, cat, and horse owners — one place to store every vet visit, medication, lab result, and daily observation for every animal in your life, organized and ready the moment you need it. The app is currently in development for both Android and iOS (iPhone), and I'm looking for a small group of dedicated testers to help shape PaHoVit before launch.
I'm intentionally keeping this first beta group small so I can work closely with testers, respond quickly to feedback, and make meaningful improvements throughout the testing period.
Who I'm looking for:
Dog, cat, or horse owners with animals currently in their care
Anyone who has ever blanked on a supplement name, a feeding amount, or which food they switched to and when — or found themselves saying, "I know I wrote that down somewhere"
People willing to use the app regularly and share honest feedback — positive or negative
Both Android and iOS (iPhone) users are welcome
What you get
Founding beta testers who complete the full 90-day program receive:
Free lifetime access to every PaHoVit feature for as long as PaHoVit remains under its current ownership
Early invitations to test future features and releases
A chance to directly influence how PaHoVit evolves
If you choose not to participate in a future testing round, your lifetime access remains fully intact — you'll simply receive the new features when they roll out to everyone.
What's involved:
During the 90-day beta, you'll use PaHoVit with your own animals as part of your normal routine. Around Day 30 and Day 60 I'll send a short survey — approximately 5 minutes to complete — asking what's working, what isn't, and what you'd like to see improved. At Day 90 you'll complete a final survey about your overall experience, which should take approximately 10 minutes. If something comes up in between, you can send feedback anytime.
That's it. Two short check-ins, one closing survey, and honest feedback when you have it.
Because I'm keeping this first group intentionally small, not everyone who applies will be selected. I'll review every application personally and reach out to selected testers directly.
