The best dog apps in 2026, by what you need
There is no single best dog app: the right one depends on the job. DogsLife is best for logging a dog's daily routine (sleep, potty, walks, meals) and house training; Dogo and Puppr are best for training lessons; 11pets is best for detailed health records across several pets.
We make DogsLife, so read this with that in mind. We've tried to be fair: each app below is the best at something, and for most jobs that isn't us. Everything about the other apps comes from their own websites and Google Play and App Store listings, checked on 6 October 2026; the details are on our one-to-one comparison pages. Apps change, so check the listings for the latest.
The short answer
- Best for a puppy's daily routine and house training: DogsLife. Log sleep, pee and poo, GPS walks and meals in a tap, see the day on one screen, and after 30 logged days get predictions of the next nap, meal, walk or pee. Free for one dog, no ads.
- Best for structured training programs: Dogo. Potty training, new dog, recall and leash programs, 100+ tricks with video, a built-in clicker and whistle, and trainers who review your training videos.
- Best for trick and obedience video lessons: Puppr. Lessons from trick trainer Sara Carson, a clicker, progress badges and live chat with trainers in Premium.
- Best for health records across several pets: 11pets. Medical records, medication dosages, vaccination schedules, expenses and sharing with your vet, for every pet in the house.

How to choose
Start from the problem you have this week:
- "I don't know when my puppy needs to go out." You need a log: when they slept, ate and peed. That's DogsLife, or try the free puppy potty schedule first.
- "My dog pulls on the lead or doesn't come back." You need lessons: Dogo or Puppr.
- "I have a dog and two cats, and a vet who wants records." You need a records app: 11pets.
Plenty of owners use two: a training app for lessons, and a log for the routine that makes training (especially house training) easier.
Bottom line
If you're raising a puppy or want to understand your dog's day, DogsLife is the app built for that, free for one dog and without ads. If training is the goal, pick Dogo or Puppr; if medical records for several pets are the goal, pick 11pets.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best app to track a puppy's routine?
DogsLife is built for this: you log sleep and night wakings, pee and poo (outside or accident), GPS walks and meals in a tap, and see the whole day on one screen. It is free for one dog, with no ads. Training apps like Dogo and Puppr teach commands but don't keep a log of the day.
What is the best dog training app?
Dogo and Puppr are both training apps. Dogo has ready-made programs, 100+ tricks, a clicker and whistle, and trainers who give feedback on videos. Puppr has video lessons from trick trainer Sara Carson, a clicker and live chat with trainers in Premium.
Is there a free dog tracker app with no ads?
Yes. DogsLife is free forever for one dog (sleep, potty, GPS walks, journal and export) and has no ads on Free or Plus. Dogo's store listings say it contains ads, and its Google Play listing says you need to subscribe after the free trial.
Which dog app is best for vet and health records?
11pets is the deepest for medical records: x-rays, test results, allergies, medication dosages and sharing records with your vet, for several kinds of pets. DogsLife Plus covers vet visits, vaccines, weight and medicine with reminders, alongside the daily log.
