FAQ

Everything you might want to know about TailTrim.

Getting Started

How do I create an account?

You can sign up with your email address or use Google sign-in for a quicker start. Both the iOS app and web version share the same account system, so you can switch between devices seamlessly.

How do I add my first dog?

After signing in, go to the Dogs page and tap the "+" button. Enter the name, breed, current weight, and target weight, and TailTrim will set up a personalised tracking plan for you.

Is TailTrim really free?

Yes! The free plan has no time limit. You can track weight, meals, and daily activities for 1 dog for as long as you like. It includes basic weight trend charts and the last 30 days of history.

Daily Tracking

What should I log daily?

We recommend logging meal portions (including treats), walk duration, water intake, and any notable events like vet visits or food changes. Consistent logging helps you and your vet spot health trends more clearly.

How does the weight tracking work?

Record your dog's weight periodically and TailTrim will automatically generate trend charts so you can visualise changes at a glance. We recommend weighing every one to two weeks for the most accurate trend analysis.

What is the 3-phase weight plan?

TailTrim breaks the weight journey into three phases. Phase 1 "Gradual Loss" focuses on safe weight reduction through portion control and increased activity. Phase 2 "Stabilisation" helps your dog adjust to the new weight. Phase 3 "Maintenance" ensures the healthy weight is sustained long-term. Each phase comes with tailored recommendations and goals.

Premium Plan

How much is Premium?

Premium is US$2.99/month (approx. HK$23) and comes with a 7-day free trial. You can cancel anytime during the trial without being charged.

What does Premium include?

Premium unlocks AI weekly health analysis reports, unlimited dog profiles, family sharing (up to 5 members), CSV/PDF export, and unlimited historical data. Every advanced feature is designed to help you take more comprehensive care of your dog's health.

How do I cancel my subscription?

iOS users can cancel in App Store > your account > Subscriptions. Web users can cancel through the Stripe billing portal, accessible from the Settings page. After cancelling, you can continue using Premium features until the end of your current billing period.

Can I get a refund?

For iOS subscriptions, refund requests are handled through Apple's official process. For web subscriptions, please contact our support team within 7 days of payment and we will be happy to assist with a refund.

Family Sharing

How does family sharing work?

Family sharing is a Premium feature that lets you invite up to 5 family members by email to help manage your dog's health data. Invited members can access shared dog profiles and help log meals, weight, and daily activities.

What roles are available?

There are two roles. The Owner has full control, including adding, editing, and deleting dog profiles. The Caretaker can log daily data and view dog profiles but cannot delete dogs or change settings.

Data & Privacy

Where is my data stored?

The iOS app uses on-device Core Data for local storage with optional cloud sync. The web version stores data on Cloudflare's encrypted servers. Regardless of platform, we take your data security and privacy very seriously.

Can I export my data?

Premium users can export their dog's weight records and daily tracking data as CSV or PDF files from the Settings page. This makes it easy to keep personal backups or share information with your vet.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. Once confirmed, all your data will be permanently removed and cannot be recovered. If you have an active subscription, please make sure to cancel it first.

Medical

Can AI replace my veterinarian?

All medical decisions should be made in consultation with a qualified veterinarian. If you notice anything unusual about your dog's health, please seek veterinary care promptly.
