There are currently over 225,000 apps available in the Apple iTunes Store. Included in those huge numbers are some great iPhone apps for dog lovers, take a look at a few of our favorites.
The Fido Factor app is a great resource to locate dog friendly locations in your area. The app automatically detects your location and helps you find the nearest dog parks, dog friendly restaurants, bars, pet stores, and hotels. Once you determine where you want to go, you can instantly download directions and head over for some dog friendly fun!!
The Dog First Aid app contains a ton of important knowledge about your pet’s health. While this app should not be used as a replacement for routine or emergency vet care for your pet, it does contain great information. Out of similar apps out there, this one is the most respected by veterinarians.
The iKnow Dogs app is a fun way to increase your knowledge of different dog breeds. Pictures and general information are available for a lot of different breeds, and you can also search the data base using different characteristics like temperament, coat type, size, country of origin, etc. This is a must have app for anyone considering getting a new dog!
What about you? Do you have another app that should be on this list?

Sweet… cool apps. I have used Fido Factor and highly recommend it.
Fun when we are in the RV with the dogs too… can find dog friendly hiking trails, places to stay, cool independent dog stores. Fun dog stuff!
Thanks for the mention. We’re working hard to make the app even better. Hopefully we’ll have an update out this summer that will make it easier to share as well as find locations in other areas. Also, unlike many other apps, our locations are constantly updated. We’re getting about 100 new listings a week and lots of reviews. You can follow us on Facebook & twitter for updates. http://www.facebook.com/fidofactor
