Keep track of your dogcow with Clarus

We've talked about pet management software before on TUAW. It's software that allows you to keep track of important information about your companion animals, including when the next vet appointment is, what medications they're taking, names and addresses for vets, groomers, and more.

Clarus 1.0 is the latest application of this genre, and it looks like a keeper. The £15.00 GBP program, which appears to have been named after the mythical dogcow of Apple lore, can be downloaded for a free trial. Purchasing the application eliminates built-in limits on the number of contacts, insurance policies, medications, and vet visits.

Unlike other pet management packages, KennettNet built Clarus from the ground up as a Leopard app, and it takes advantage of integration with Address Book, iCal, Quick Look, and AppleScript. Clarus is localized for English, French, German, and Spanish Mac users.

What I find most useful about this program is how it stores all of my pet's care information in one place. Should my cat Ruby require emergency medical care, I have all of her records at my fingertips. If she runs away from home, I can print a "missing" poster with one click.

Clarus gets two paws-up! Moof!

The fact that this app's help system has a tutorial system much like System 7 and Mac OS 8's help system (with the "show me" and the red circling of functions) makes this program really classic-class.

I helped beta this app and it's very nice for keeping up with all your pet information.

This application for your Mac is very cool. And actually I have just posted an iPhone App just like this to iTunes. The app is called "Pets" and it lets you keep track of all your Pets info on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
