Create an Account
Upon downloading Pawbulous, the user is asked to create an account for their pet! They can add a short biography and basic information that friends can see when they view the profile. Pet owners can keep track of their pet’s feeding and activity on their profile to make sure their furry friend is getting everything they need throughout the day. If the owner purchases a tracking collar through Pawbulous, they can view the pet’s current location on this screen!
Dashboard
The dashboard is where all the magic happens. The app has 8 main features for users to access information and files related to health, grooming, medical, shopping, training, locating, connecting, and documents. Users can also access a monthly calendar on the app’s dashboard that tracks any previous or upcoming tasks from medical appointments to events! Each feature is color-coded to help the user navigate the app and calendar efficiently.
Health & Medical
Users can create specific goals for their pet’s daily activity and feeding. Throughout the day, they can update and track their progress and be sure each ring is full before bedtime. In the app’s “Medical” feature, pet owners can keep track of upcoming appointments and add/locate medical records for easy access in the future.
Connect
Through the “Connect” feature in the app, users can connect with other pet-owners! They can also discover upcoming events such as fundraisers and meet-and-greets. Events of interest can be saved and added to the user’s calendar on the app’s dashboard.
Groom & Train
Grooming and training are important aspects of a pet’s well-being. Users can locate top-rated groomers in their area and schedule an appointment. Users can also train their pets directly through the app by watching a series of short instructional videos ranging from Level One to Level Three. As they progress, the pet’s current level of training will update on their profile.
Locate
If the user has purchased the Pawbulous tracking collar, they can view their pet’s current location through the app’s “Locate” feature. Users can also locate services in their area such as groomers or trainers.
Documents & Shopping
The “Documents” feature in Pawbulous allows pet owners to keep track of any type of documents for their pets. These could include receipts, photos, bills, and medical records. Shopping is also available through the app. Users can purchase the Pawbulous tracking collar to connect to the app as well as many basic pet essentials!
