10 Must-Have Apps for Dog Owners
1. Tagg
Tagg is essentially a GPS attachment for your dog's collar, and because of its many features, it can give you peace of mind. The app will track your dog's activity and send you a message if he goes beyond the boundaries you set. Not only that, Tagg allows you to make sure your dog is getting enough exercise by measuring movement.
Available on iOS and Android.

DoggyDatez is a mobile social platform for dog owners and their dogs to make friends. The main idea is that you can "mark your territory" and see who else visits your spot. You're also able to search for other DoggyDatez users by gender, age, dog gender, dog age and/or dog breed.
Available on iOS and Android.

If you want to see what your dog is up to in real-time, iCam is the app to get. You can watch your canine friend remotely, just to make sure everything's all right. This is especially useful if you're leaving your dog home for the first time, you recently moved or you're traveling.
Available on iOS and Android.

It's tough, if not impossible, to know everything that is harmful to your dog. The Petoxins app from the ASPCA helps you out by having a impressive list of poisonous plants, and most of them you probably didn't know. For example, did you know that tulip bulbs are hazardous? Now you can keep similar vegetation out of your dog's reach.
Available on iOS.

With MapMyDogwalk, you and your dog can get fit at the same time. You can log your walks, track your calories and map your favorite routes using GPS. The app also has sharing and geotagging features for photos and data.
Available on iOS and Android.

Raising pets is fun, but it's also a big responsibility, which means there can be some scares. If anything should happen to your dog, Pet First Aid helps you take the right steps to make sure he'll be OK. Detailed videos and illustrations include restraint, muzzling, CPR, bandaging and more.
Available on iOS and Android.

Pet Minder Pro helps you keep track of your dog's actions, and it's presented in an easy way so you can use it while interacting with your dog. By tapping custom buttons, you'll never forget when you last gave your dog medicine, fed him, took him for a walk or took him to a play date. You can also track training phases for puppies, set up reminders and share information via notifications.
Available on Android. For an iOS alternative, check out MyPetMinder.

Answering the question "What kind of dog is he?" isn't always easy, especially if your dog is a rescue or mix. As a tool, Petsie Dog Breeds can help you figure it out, but it's also full of adorable photos and information. You can even use it as a fun social network by creating a profile for your dog.
Available on Android. For an iOS alternative, check out Guide to Dog Breeds.

It's useful to check the weather before you take your dog out for a walk, but Weather Puppy takes it to a new (and very cute) level. The app shows more than 100 dogs depending on the time and weather, and you can even add a pic of your own dog. Weather Puppy partners with non-profits and shelters across the U.S.
Available on iOS and coming soon on Android. In the meantime, a good Android alternative is Weather Dog.

This might seem like an obvious one, but it really comes in handy for dog owners. You can organize all of the dog parks in your city, find nearby pet stores and vets when you need them and see if any friends with dogs are in your area.
Available on iOS, Android and BlackBerry App World.
