Who DogLog is best for

Dog-focused households that want a familiar social-style activity feed where caregivers, walkers, and vets can Like and Comment on entries. Strong fit if your household is multi-platform (iOS + Android), and the dog is the household's whole pet roster.

Who Collie is best for

Homes where more than one person cares for the pets, or a sitter steps in: mixed species, medication that has to land on time, and a clear record of who did what. If you need vitals, charts, or a report to hand a clinic, Collie isn't that app.

What DogLog does well

  • On the App Store since 2017 with a 4.8-star rating across 1.3K+ ratings.
  • Native Android support today, alongside iOS.
  • Social-style activity feed where caregivers can Like and Comment on each entry.
  • Aggregates health and behavioral records (weight, bowel movements, vaccinations, microchip numbers, behavioral notes) alongside the daily activity log.

Where Collie has gaps

  • Basic logging only: no vitals, charts, or vet-ready PDF export. A dedicated health tracker goes far deeper.
  • The journal never interprets. It won't suggest conditions, flag entries, or tell you your pet is fine.
  • No social feed. Activity is a quiet completion log, not a Like-and-Comment timeline.
  • A newer product with a smaller install base than long-running competitors.

Common questions

Is DogLog or Collie better for multi-pet households?

It depends on the species. If every pet in your household is a dog, DogLog's longer track record is a real advantage. If you also have a cat, a rabbit, or any non-dog pet, DogLog is dog-only and you'll need to track them somewhere else. Collie treats every species as a first-class pet in the same app.

Which app is better for handing off to a pet sitter?

Collie has a dedicated sitting workflow. You invite up to 2 sitters by email for exact dates; they sign into the Collie app (free for sitters) and get a briefing with each pet's routine, feeding details, meds, and your emergency vet contact. They work through the day's tasks, then post an update with notes, photos, and their visit times, which the family sees as a visit report. Access starts and ends automatically and can be revoked anytime. In DogLog, a sitter joins the pack like any other member; time-bounded access, briefings, and visit reports are not publicly documented.

Does either app prevent two caregivers from accidentally feeding the dog twice?

Collie does this explicitly with first-write-wins: the first tap is recorded with name and timestamp, and a second tap is silently discarded with a 'Completed by X' message instead. DogLog has an activity feed where caregivers can see each other's entries, but its duplicate-prevention behavior is not publicly documented.

Which app is better for tracking my dog's health records?

DogLog. It aggregates weight, bowel movements, vaccinations, microchip records, and behavioral notes alongside the daily activity log. Collie is intentionally not a health tracker, it focuses on coordinating who does what across the household. If health records are central to your use case, DogLog is the better fit.

Which one is cheaper?

Collie. Collie is completely free, with no paid tier and no subscription. DogLog has a free tier plus a premium at $3.99/mo or $39.99/yr, and its free-vs-paid feature gating isn't publicly documented. If cost matters, Collie gives you every feature at no charge.
