Capture changes in turning, getting up, pressure spots, cleanup needs, comfort, interest, or anything you want to remember.
3
Choose a care focus
Turn the day's observations into a practical next focus, such as skin checks, hygiene, rest, enrichment, or a vet question.

5
Bring clearer notes to care conversations
Use your care history to have more grounded conversations with your veterinarian, rehab team, or other caregivers.
Why daily care gets overwhelming
Daily disabled dog care can become overwhelming when important details live everywhere.
Care often gets spread across memory, notes, vet instructions, routines, and the moments when something suddenly feels different. CarePaw OS is built to help caregivers organize daily observations and care routines without pretending to diagnose or replace veterinary care.
- Mobility changes, weakness, slipping, turning, appetite, and getting up can be hard to track day by day.
- Pressure spots, skin checks, hygiene needs, and bladder or bowel routines need steady attention.
- Medication routines, enrichment, comfort, questions for the vet, and quality-of-life observations can pile up quickly.
A calmer daily care rhythm
A practical way to move through today's care.
CarePaw OS helps caregivers move from scattered worry to a focused daily rhythm, while keeping clearer notes for veterinary, rehab, or family care conversations.

What you can track and organize
Everything small enough to forget, important enough to track.
CarePaw OS supports daily care check-ins and care history. It is not a medical app, and it does not diagnose, treat, or replace guidance from your veterinarian.
Daily care check-ins
Work through the care areas that matter today so fewer important details depend on memory alone.
Mobility tracking
Track changes in strength, stability, getting up, turning, walking, and support needs.
Skin and pressure sore notes
Keep pressure spots, skin checks, repositioning concerns, and prevention notes easier to review.
Hygiene and cleanup tracking
Record hygiene needs, accidents, cleanup routines, and patterns that may need follow-up.
Medication and routine support
Log medication routines, care tasks, feeding notes, and daily support needs in one place.
Enrichment and comfort ideas
Keep mental engagement, rest, comfort, and quality-of-life observations part of daily care.
Quality-of-life notes
Track appetite, interest, rest, comfort, frustration, and the moments you want to discuss with your care team.
Care history
Build a clearer record of what happened, what helped, and what changed over time.

Built from real disabled dog care
Built from daily life with Elijah.
CarePaw OS grew out of Jeff Tawater's daily care for Elijah, his disabled senior Belgian Malinois. As Elijah's mobility declined, care meant watching skin, hygiene, comfort, appetite, enrichment, rest, pressure risk, and quality-of-life changes every day. CarePaw OS is being built from that reality: not as a replacement for veterinary care, but as a practical way to help caregivers stay organized when the daily details matter.
