The Flea Treatment Reminder App Your Pet Deserves
Flea treatments only work if you apply them on time — every 30 days, not roughly monthly, not "when you remember." Ripple sets a precise alarm that resets from the moment you apply, keeping your dog or cat protected year-round without a single missed treatment.
Why "monthly" isn't precise enough
The problem with monthly reminders is that months have different lengths — 28, 29, 30, or 31 days. A Frontline or Advantage treatment applied on January 15th needs reapplying on February 14th, not March 1st. Standard calendar reminders for "the 15th of each month" are close, but they drift over time.
More importantly: most alarm apps don't let you say "every 30 days." They offer daily, weekly, or fixed dates — not true numeric intervals. Ripple does exactly this.
Ripple's approach: Set a "Flea Treatment — Max" alarm to repeat every 30 days. Apply the treatment, dismiss the alarm, and Ripple schedules the next reminder for exactly 30 days later. No drift, no guessing, no gaps in coverage.
Why consistent flea treatment matters

While you're setting up the flea treatment reminder, add the rest of your pet care schedule:
Works for multiple pets
If you have more than one pet, create a separate alarm for each — named by pet ("Flea Treatment — Bella," "Flea Treatment — Max") with the same or different intervals depending on their treatment products. Ripple's free tier covers 3 alarms, which handles most multi-pet households. Pro covers unlimited.
iOS and Android
Ripple works on both iPhone and Android. If you and your partner share pet care responsibilities across different phones, both can have the app — and each phone keeps its own alarm history, so it helps to agree who's responsible for dismissing each treatment reminder.
