A living journal for your pet's life, with AI insights

Most pet apps are clinical trackers. Tamadoggo is a living journal, a warm place to hold every walk, meal, vet visit and milestone. What stands out: gentle AI that never nags or diagnoses. It surfaces patterns across the timeline, gives breed and age-aware suggestions, scans a vet doc (photo or PDF) into auto-filled records, and writes a warm monthly letter. Each pet gets a "Crib", an illustrated home for their whole life. The free tier is also genuinely complete. PRO adds the AI magic.

@s0rvas Congrats on your launch!! I love the idea and your version definitely has a warmth to it that others lack. Sadly, I'll have to wait for the Android version. I noticed someone asked about other pets and you mentioned cats. What about other critters, like backyard hens?! Be a good way to keep track of any health issues with them.
Congrats on shipping, Sorin! I love that you went journal first rather than tracker first for this.
I'm a solo founder building something architecturally similar in a different domain: AI-powered couples journal, where the AI's tone is similarly load-bearing (has to challenge without preaching, facilitate without taking sides). Two questions where I think your decisions might actually transfer to my work:
The "gentle AI that never nags or diagnoses" constraint is the most thoughtful part of Tamadoggo, and probably the hardest to get right. How is it actually encoded, is it primarily prompt-based, structural (the AI is given tools that only let it surface, never recommend), or a separate review layer that filters output before it reaches the user?
You mentioned the AI is built on Claude's tool-use through an MCP server. I'm currently on streaming Claude API and have been wondering whether tool-use is the better fit for the kind of pattern-surfacing-across-events work both our products do. What pushed you toward MCP + tool-use over prompt-based generation?
This immediately caught my attention because I also own a dog. Though I only have a dog myself, I also curious about that are you planning to expand the experience beyond dogs in the future, for example to cats or other pets? I can imagine many pet owners would love this kind of app.

@evakk Yup! Can't ignore the felines! V2 brings cat support with 6 cute avatars. It's in the making as we speak. Future updates will add support for even more companions :) Thank you!
This is very interesting. It seems positioned at a consumer app, but have you considered running a pilot program with vets, dog sitters, dog walkers, or doggy daycares? This could be an exceptionally useful and cute way for all of these businesses to give updates to their dog owners.

@james_effarah1 That's a really interesting perspective, and it gives me a few threads to work with. Going to run with a few, and put them on the roadmap. Thank you!
Hey Sorin, congrats on shipping this!
Went through the website after seeing it here and I really think the Crib concept is a warm feature.
One thing that stuck with me, though, is the origin story (allergic staffie, growing paper stack) might be a more compelling hook than "beautifully kept". That specific chaos is exactly what your buyer recognizes. I write landing pages for a living so this stuff jumps out.
Curious to see how this one takes off!
Congrats. Was curious if this is just for dogs or other pets as well?
The monthly “warm letter” is a lovely touch. It makes logging feel rewarding and helps pet owners reflect on the month.
