About Hospet

Hospet is a free mobile app for iOS and Android that helps pet owners track their pet’s quality of life with assessments, daily ratings and event logs, and share that information with their veterinarian and care team.

We built Hospet because of what we see every day in end-of-life veterinary care: families trying to answer “Is it time?” with nothing but memory and a gut feeling. Tracking quality of life over time turns those hard decisions into clearer, shared conversations.
