How to create your first pet profile

Updated December 28, 20253 min read

Welcome to the Pack! 🐾

Creating a profile for your pet is the first step to unlocking all of Clawmate's powerful features. Here's how to get started:

  1. Go to Dashboard: Log in and navigate to your main dashboard.
  2. Click "Add Pet": You'll see a large card with a "+" icon or a button in the top right corner.
  3. Enter Details: We'll ask for some basic info:
    • Name: Your pet's name.
    • Species: Dog or Cat (Clawmate is optimized for these two right now!).
    • Breed: Start typing to search our database of 300+ breeds. If mixed, choose "Mixed/Other".
    • Birthday: If you don't know the exact date, an estimate is fine! This helps us track life stages.
    • Weight: Current weight helps us with medication and food calculations.
  4. Upload a Photo: Pick a cute one! This will be their avatar across the app.
  5. Save: Click "Create Profile" and you're done!

Pro Tip: You can update this information anytime by clicking the "Edit" button on your pet's profile card.
