Where do I note vaccines and weight?
FreePet rabbit care app: vaccines, weight and routine in one profile
A dwarf rabbit weighs little and changes fast. PawsPet gives it a profile with vaccines, measurements, diets and activities. The app does not suggest rabbit vaccines on its own: you write the name your vet gives you, for example myxomatosis, set the expiry date and, if you want, an alert before it expires. When you travel, a read-only link shows its details to the sitter. Care and dates stay with your vet.
- The app is free, with no subscription.
- You invite whoever you want, area by area.
- The AI prepares, you confirm.
The rabbit's profile: what changes in the app
For rabbits the app has tests of their own and a few differences. Here they are, with the labels you find in the app.
Encephalitozoon cuniculi serology
It is the test the catalogue recommends for rabbits, suggested once a year: you change the interval.
Rabbit faecal examination
The catalogue also has the faecal examination, with its interval.
Vaccine name
The app does not suggest vaccines for rabbits: you write the name your vet gives you, with the expiry and, if you want, the alert.
BCS (Body Condition Score)
A rabbit's BCS goes from 1 to 5: the advanced 1-9 scale, which the other species have, does not appear here.
In its profile, every day
Any vaccine, with an expiry and an alert
The vaccine name is a free text field: myxomatosis, rabbit haemorrhagic disease or whatever your vet recommends. Add boosters, a validity date and an alert. The vaccine stays green while valid, turns yellow a week before it expires, then red.
Weight, in grams too, and BCS from 1 to 5
In the Measurements tab you log weight in kg with decimals: below 1 kg the app shows it in grams, with the change from the previous reading and a chart over time. In the same entry you set a Body Condition Score from 1 to 5, the scale used for rabbits.
The daily routine: hay, supplements and treatments
In the Health tab, under Diet, therapies and treatments, you log hay, supplements or a medicine with quantity and frequency. Turn on Recurrent and Create to-dos in activities, and each dose appears in the Activities tab as a reminder to tick off.
A link for whoever looks after your rabbit
From the profile menu you turn on Sharing: a public read-only link with photo, basic details, vaccines with their colour status, diets and treatments. The sitter opens it in a browser, no account needed. Back home, switch it off and the link stops working.
Adoptions and services for rabbits
Adoption listings are free and are published and browsed on pawspet.it. You book pet sitters and vet visits from the app, in the «Services» tab.

How you start with your rabbit in the app
Create your rabbit's profile
In the Pets tab tap the plus button: a photo (optional), name and date of birth, then pick Rabbit from the species grid and, if you like, the breed. Add sex, neutering, colour and microchip; optional fields can stay empty. Creating a pet also works offline.
Log vaccines, weight and body condition
In the Health tab tap plus and choose Vaccine: type the name, the date of the first dose, boosters with Add dose, the expiry and Set alert. In the Measurements tab tap plus for today's weight, the body condition score and a photo: one measurement per day, editable at any time.
Share the profile before you leave
Open your rabbit, tap the menu in the top right corner, then Sharing: switch it on and use Share or Copy to send the link to your sitter. Whoever opens it sees the profile read-only, without documents. When you are back, switch sharing off: the link stops working straight away.
Questions about the app for rabbits
- Yes. The vaccine name is a free text field: type «myxomatosis», «rabbit haemorrhagic disease» or the name your vet gives you. Add the first dose date, boosters with «Add dose», the expiry date and, if you want, an alert. The app does not suggest rabbit vaccines on its own: you decide dates and boosters with your vet.
- In the Measurements tab tap plus and type the weight in kg with decimals, for example 0.85: under 1 kg the app shows it in grams. You can log one measurement a day; reopening the same day updates the existing one and, if it is wrong, you remove it with «Delete measurement».
- Your vet decides, depending on the vaccine and your rabbit: the app does not propose rabbit vaccines. You record the name you are given, the date and boosters with «Add dose», the expiry date and, if you want, the alert: without an alert no notification arrives.
- Open the pet, tap the menu in the top right corner, then Sharing, and turn on the public read-only link: whoever opens it sees the photo, basic details, vaccines with their colour status, diets and treatments, without the app. If your sitter uses PawsPet you can add them as a collaborator instead, with specific permissions, including editing.
- Five tabs: Profile, Personal data, Health, Measurements and Activities. In Profile, the Recommended strip flags what is missing, such as the photo, the microchip or a weight older than 90 days, with a completion percentage. Vaccines, diets, allergies and lab tests live in Health; weight and body condition in Measurements; documents in Personal data.
