How do I keep photos of my pet?
Add them to your pet's Album as a moment: one or more photos, a date and a caption if you like. The album groups every photo by month, newest first, with your pet's age then.
Updated October 20, 2026
- Open your pet and tap Album.
- Tap Add a moment.
- Tap Add photos and pick up to 20 at once.
- Add a Caption if you like, and check the Date.
- Tap Save moment.
Do I need Plus for the album?
Yes. The album is part of VetVitae Plus: adding moments, and Show in album on an entry's photo, need Plus. Photos on health entries stay free.
Without Plus, an empty album shows a sample with The album is part of Plus and a button to the Plus page. Not now hides the card.
What happens to the album when Plus ends?
Nothing is deleted. Your pet's moments stay in the album, with On this day, and you can still open, share and export them. Adding new moments needs Plus again, from Get Plus again.
What is a moment?
A moment is one memory with its photos: the first day home, a day at the beach, a birthday. It has a date, an optional caption and from 1 to 20 photos. It has no reminders and no cost, and it shows in your pet's Timeline with its first photos.
Can I add a photo from a vet visit or a grooming?
Yes. Photos on other entries stay out of the album until you choose them, so a photo of a wound never lands next to a birthday. On the entry, tap the album button on the photo (Show in album). The photo joins the album with a small icon of where it came from, and stays on its entry.
To take it out, tap the button again, or open the photo in the album and pick Remove from album in the ⋯ menu.
What is On this day?
When a moment has today's day and month in an earlier year, Home shows a card with its photo, like "1 year ago today". Tap See the moment to open it. Tap the x to hide the card until tomorrow. It never sends a notification.
What to know
- Photos only. Videos stay on observations, where your vet may need them.
- Owners and co-owners add and delete moments. Carers see the album. A remembered pet keeps its album, read only.
- Moments never show on the vet link. They are in your export: the ZIP has their photos, and the PDF lists them as text.
Questions
Can I add the same photo to two pets?
Not in one go. A moment belongs to one pet, so a photo of two pets is added to one of them. Copying it to each would store it twice.
Why doesn't my pet's age show on some months?
The age shows when your pet has a birth date on its profile. With an estimated birth date it says "about".
Does deleting a moment delete its photos?
Yes. Deleting a moment deletes its photos for everyone who shares your pet, and it can't be undone. A photo from another entry is only taken out of the album, never deleted.
Can my vet see the album?
No. The vet link never shows moments. They say nothing about health and would bury what your vet needs.
Can I download all my pet's photos?
Yes. Export a ZIP with Include files on. Each moment has its own folder with its photos.
