Your dog or cat has a day too.

Add your dogs and cats to Licorice and keep their meals, walks and health notes in the same app as yours.

  • A profile for each pet. Breed, birthday, weight, how active they are, what they eat and its calories, allergies and their vet.
  • A daily food guide. Grams a day and per meal, worked out from weight, age, activity and their food. A general guide: your vet's advice comes first.
  • A daily checklist. Meals, walks, pee and poo, logged with one tap.
  • "How is Mia today?" A quick check-in on sleep, energy and appetite, so changes are easier to spot.
  • A journal. Treats, medicine, play, grooming, notes and injuries, with photos to show how things change.
  • Vet visits. Keep a record of past visits and add appointments, with reminders the evening before and 2 hours before.
  • Feeding reminders. Tap "Fed" and Licorice notes the time and who fed them. A reminder only comes if a meal hasn't been logged, and it can learn when you usually feed.
  • Their own character. An animated cartoon that wags and blinks. Change its colours, coat and ears to look like your pet.

€2 a month, added to any plan. Licorice gives general pet-care tracking, not veterinary advice. For anything worrying, call your vet.

Meet your coach

Gizem Gardner, founder and nutritionist

Gizem started Licorice because eating well shouldn't mean a spreadsheet or a strict diet. Most people don't need more rules. They need simple meals they enjoy, and someone checking in.

With coaching, Gizem builds your plan around your goals and the way you actually eat, reads your diary, and replies in the app.

Coaching is educational and non-medical. It isn't a replacement for your doctor.
