#Healthy Pets!

Link to published website: https://healthy-pets.herokuapp.com/

##Introduction

The Healthy Pets! website is built for loving pet owners. It is meant to encourage mindfulness of your pet's health and behavioral changes. Providing a calendar for each pet enables you to keep a detailed log of your pet's habits and illness symptoms.

The app was inspired by my own love for my two cats, Simon and Francis. I noticed Francis was coughing and sneezing occasionally. I thought it could be reactionary to some environmental factors, but I noticed the coughing was happening more frequently. So I came up with the idea to log the time and day of his symptoms in a calendar, to keep better track of what's going on with him.

We all live busy lives and sometimes these things can go unnoticed. Healthy Pets! provides a fun little tool to keep our pets safer.
