PawPass, against what you use now.
Most pet records live in a folder, a camera roll or one clinic’s portal. Each works until someone asks for the paperwork on short notice. Here is where each one falls down, honestly, including where PawPass does.
| What you need | Paper folder | Photos on your phone | Clinic portal or app | Notes app or spreadsheet | PawPass |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Every clinic’s records in one place | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| Certificate attached to the entry | Yes | Loose in the camera roll | Sometimes | Manually | Yes |
| Next due date beside each shot | No | No | Usually | If you type it | Yes |
| Reminder before a booster lapses | No | No | From that clinic only | If you set one | Yes |
| Share with a kennel in one scan | Hand over the folder | Scroll and hope | Rarely | Screenshot | Yes |
| Other side needs no app or account | Yes | Yes | Often needs a login | Yes | Yes |
| Share is read-only and expires | No | No | No | No | Yes |
| Revoke access afterwards | No | No | No | No | Yes |
| Works when the vet closes or you move | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| Weight chart over time | No | No | Sometimes | Manually | Yes |
| Survives a lost phone or a flood | No | If backed up | Yes | If synced | Yes |
| Cost | Free | Free | Free with that clinic | Free | Free for one pet; Plus from $4.99/mo |
Where PawPass falls short
It does not import from your clinic; you type or photograph entries in, or use CSV import on Pro. Attachments are private to you rather than shown on the shared page. There is no native app; it runs in the browser and can be added to your home screen. And it is not a vet: the AI Health Assistant summarizes what you have entered, nothing more.
Where it is the point
The moment someone asks. A time-limited, read-only page the other side opens with nothing installed, a reminder before the booster lapses, and a record that does not belong to any one clinic.
Alternatives
Looking for a PetDesk or 11pets alternative?
PetDesk alternative
PetDesk is built around veterinary clinics: if your clinic uses it, you see that clinic’s appointments, reminders and records. PawPass is not tied to any clinic. You keep one record across every vet you use, and when a kennel or groomer asks, you show a QR code they open in any browser with no app or account.
11pets alternative
11pets is a pet care organizer for logging health, medication and appointments. PawPass is narrower and built around the moment someone asks for proof: a vaccination timeline with certificates attached, reminders by email before a booster lapses, and time-limited share links you can revoke.
We have not tested every feature of these apps and they change often, so check their current feature lists before deciding. PetDesk and 11pets are trademarks of their respective owners; PawPass is not affiliated with either.
