How to set parasite reminders that actually work

Introduction

The best product is the one you remember to give. Use a single house dose day and stack it with routines you already do. These small tweaks keep pets protected without mental load.

Build a reminder that sticks

Pick one monthly date you will not miss, like rent day or the first Saturday. Add a repeating phone reminder with an alarm, then place the pack where you will see it on that day.

Habit stacking ideas

• Dogs: dose after the morning walk and breakfast

• Cats: apply after the evening meal in a quiet room

• Families: put the packs with the leads or next to the litter scoop

Make it visible

Write last and next doses on the box. Add a wall calendar square or fridge magnet. If you use any longer acting option, add a mid-interval phone nudge a week before it is due.

Share the load

Create a group chat with a simple message template like “Dose done: pet name, date, product”. If someone is away, they send a photo of the pack and next due date to the group.
