For boarding kennels, dogs and cats.
Latigo Health is a cost-intelligence and operations tool for any business whose business is animals, including dog and cat boarding kennels: each meal or dose checked off from the kennel's own stock posts its supply cost to that dog's or cat's own ledger.
A stay's cost then sits beside what the stay brought in, and a medication the owner brought is logged at no cost to the kennel.
Latigo Health is $50 a month for the whole kennel after 90 days free, with no per-seat fees.

Read 1 change first. It’s in red.
Morning finished. 5 chores, 5 ledger lines. Bo still needs a witness.
No prices on this side. The feed side never shows a cost.
FIFO. Oldest batch first, at the price you paid for that batch.
Finish the round in the kennel run. Each chore prints its own line here.
One tap. One transaction per chore. 412 → 410 cups, $0.84 posted, nothing typed.
Bo is a diabetic spaniel, here for nine nights. His owner brought his insulin; you fed him your diabetic diet, billed as an add-on. Slide to your guess, then hold it up against what his stay brought in.
Bo · Copper Run Kennels · 9-night stay
Your guess was $73.95 high.
That number came from 36 checked-off tasks. Nobody typed it.

The nightly rate is the easy part. Room, vaccines, and the owners are the rest.
A Great Dane is not a beagle. Each run holds a set number of units, and each stay takes its own: most dogs take 1 and a big dog 2. A booking that would overfill a run is refused unless a manager books it anyway.
Caught at booking, not at pickup. Set each vaccine to block a booking or only warn, with a grace period if you allow one. One that runs out before a booked checkout, grace included, is caught when the stay is booked and again at check-in, and a manager can waive what your policy allows, with a reason that stays on the dog's record.
The owner sees the day, in photos. Publish each animal's day, one at a time or all at once: what was done, and that day's photos. The owner gets an email with a private link that works for 30 days, no account needed.
Bo's Daily Update for September 28, 2026
Here's how Bo's day went at Copper Run Kennels.
This link works for 30 days.
Run by run, in the order you walk them. What each dog eats from your stock posts to that dog's own ledger, like Bo's diabetic diet from Run 3.
Most kennel software is built for the front desk: bookings, check-in, the bill. It cannot say what a stay cost, because it does not know what went into the bowl. Here every meal is a check-off, and what comes out of your supply room carries its cost.
Bo · Diabetic diet · 1 can · 46 → 45 cans
Yes: Latigo Health works out each stay's supply cost from the check-offs the kennel already makes. Each meal or dose that uses your stock posts its cost to that dog's own ledger, so the stay's cost sits beside what the stay brought in. Labor is not costed.
Compare what the diet cost with what you charge for it; Latigo Health posts the diet's cost to the dog's ledger as each meal is checked off. In the demo, Bo's diabetic diet cost $69.30 over nine nights against $45.00 in diet fees ($5.00 a night), so the fee came up $24.30 short. Only what comes from your stock is costed; his insulin, which his owner brought, posted nothing.
Yes. Mark a task RED in Latigo Health and it cannot be checked off until another member of your team witnesses it. Both names stay on the task. Insulin the owner brought is logged on the dog's record at no cost to you.
Yes. Add the diet fee to the owner's invoice in Latigo Health as its own line, typed or picked from a saved list. Board comes onto the same invoice from the nights the dog actually stayed.
Yes. A cat is its own species on the record, with a ready-made cat vaccine policy (rabies and FVRCP), on the same run sheet and ledger as the dogs.
Latigo Health is built for a phone first. A check-off made where the signal drops waits on the phone and syncs when it is back, and its cost still posts once, on the server.
Yes. Owners request a stay from your Latigo Health booking link, confirm their email, and your team approves or declines. Nothing is confirmed without you. Daycare packages are not built.
90 days free, then $50 a month, with no added payment fees. One price for the whole kennel, however many runs.
Built for boarding barns, kennels, rescues, and exotics rooms. One price, any room.
