1. Purpose of NurturedPet
NurturedPet is designed to support pet caregivers in managing their pet's medication schedules, health tracking, and wellness routines. The App provides:
- Medication reminders and scheduling tools
- Health monitoring features (such as respiratory rate tracking)
- Wellness assessments and logging
- AI-powered informational guidance
- Record-keeping and sharing capabilities
These features are intended to complement professional veterinary care, not replace it. Think of NurturedPet as a helpful assistant for your pet's care routine—not a veterinarian.
2. What NurturedPet Does NOT Provide

- Treatment Plans: We do not create or modify treatment protocols
