Features & Capabilities

Track breathing rate, medications, and symptoms for pets with heart disease. Designed for MVD, MMVD, DCM, CHF and ARVC. Share heart health reports with your veterinarian.

ShakyBraves is a pet heart health monitoring and tracking tool designed to help dog and cat owners monitor heart disease (MVD, DCM, ARVC, PDA, TVD, HCM, RCM, and more), including signs associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), with clarity and confidence.

Recommended by cardiologists and vets, the report gives them the between-visit picture they actually need to make better decisions for your pet.

Built around resting respiratory rate (RRR) monitoring, one of the most important at-home indicators for heart disease progression and congestive heart failure (CHF), ShakyBraves makes it simple to track, understand, and share your dog or cat’s health data over time.

Whether your dog or cat was recently diagnosed or you're managing long-term care, ShakyBraves helps you stay consistent and organized between vet visits.

CORE FEATURES

Breathing Rate Dashboard Track your pet’s resting respiratory rate over months or years with a clear trend graph.

Guided Breath Counter Use a 30- or 60-second timer for dogs, or a 15- or 30-second timer for cats, with a simple tap-to-count interface.

Automatic BPM Calculation Breaths are instantly converted to breaths per minute — no math required.

Personalized Baseline Build your pet’s unique 7-day baseline to detect meaningful changes.

RRR Logs & Filters Filter by time of day, activity level, and state to identify patterns.

History Import Import historical resting respiratory rate (RRR) data from Cardalis or your own records to preserve trends and establish a longer-term baseline.

Medication Tracking Medication Insights Track medications with dosage and schedule details, and see adherence trends over time, including per-medication breakdowns and missed dose history.

Smart Reminders Never miss a breathing check or medication dose.

Heart Health Report Generate a secure, read-only report link to share with your vet or cardiologist. It updates automatically, so your vet can save it once and always have your pet's latest data. No resending required.

Care Team Sharing Add your vet and cardiologist for streamlined communication.

Web Portal Access View trends and reports from any browser.

Multi-Pet Support Monitor multiple pets in one place.

Optional Symptom Check-Ins

  • Breathing Effort Check-Ins Track changes in your pet's breathing effort over time with structured, condition-aware check-ins.
  • Exercise Tolerance Check-Ins Monitor how much activity your pet can handle — an early and important indicator of cardiac progression.
  • Symptom & Trend Tracking Track coughing, appetite changes, energy levels, breathing changes, and other symptoms over time to help identify patterns and support earlier conversations with your vet. In-App Feedback Share ideas and improvements directly with the team.

Designed for Cardiac Monitoring. Built for the Long Haul.

ShakyBraves was originally built for Mitral Valve Disease (MVD) monitoring in dogs and now supports tracking for other cardiac conditions such as DCM, ARVC, PDA, TVD, HCM, and RCM, helping pet parents stay organized, proactive, and informed throughout their dog or cat’s cardiac journey.

Thank you so much for developing this app! I was previously using the Cardalis app to track my cat’s RRR, but it only gave a very cramped chart with all the data. It was impossibly small and hard to read. I appreciate the options to see the average across different time frames, see if there are trends in certain parts of the day, and an option to count breaths for 15 sec or 30 sec. The moving average helps keep track of trends. ShakyBraves helps me recognize changes quickly and work with Sherbert’s team to make changes to dosages, and then track changes. I’m excited to see the future additions to the app!

This app has been an absolute game changer for managing my dog’s care. Being able to track her resting respiratory rate and medications all in one place makes everything so much easier and more organized. I especially love the ability to share the data directly with her cardiologist, it gives me real peace of mind knowing her care team can stay informed. I haven’t found another app that combines all of these features so seamlessly. Highly recommend to any pet owner managing MVD

I started using this for my dog with heart disease. He needs his respirations checked often in case he could be developing fluid in his lungs. It’s very easy to use and I like how easy the dashboard is to read. I used it at his cardiologist appt last week to show her his readings. She was impressed. Highly recommend it 🐾🐶
