Whether you are searching for the best deli in a new city, wondering when a storm is going to hit, or trying to stay in shape, you likely have an app for that. At this point in the digital age, most of us have our favorite go-to apps on our smartphones or tablets, and can’t imagine life without them.

Since so many of us consider our pets members of the family, it stands to reason that Fido and Fluffy should be considered when it comes to useful and fun apps, too. Here at Animal Skin and Allergy Clinic, we couldn’t agree more, which is why we’ve come up a list of our favorite, must-have pet apps.
