In addition, it is possible to take photos and link them to certain walks. Then you easily share it with friends. Extra useful is the ability to keep track of where your dog is doing. So you know better and better where you have to make a sanitary stop during exhaustion.

3. First Aid for Cat and Dog

This app is not only useful on animal day, but is always useful to have on your iPhone. When your cat or dog is injured, you will know which first aid you have to offer thanks to this app. There are more than a hundred topics with an extensive description of various situations. So you know how to recognize poisoning, or what is most important to do in case of a collision or wound.

This way you can make the perfect photo of your pet

1. Turn on Live Photo

When you shoot with the Live Photo function, your iPhone also shoots before and after the actual photo. As soon as you edit the photo afterwards, you can choose which time is best. This prevents you from always taking a picture when your pet just closes his eyes, and saves a lot of time before you have the wanted picture.

2. Use Burst mode

If your pet does not sit still, it can be difficult to shoot the perfect photo. In this case, use the Burst mode. By holding down the shutter button, your iPhone shoots dozens of photos in a row. In the screen you see a counter of how many photos have been taken. Then go to the photo burst in your album and tap on 'Select'. Here you can choose the best shots and remove the others immediately.

3. Action? Film in slow motion

Is your hamster running hard in his wheel, or does your dog grab his ball out of the sky during exhaustion? Try to film in slow motion mode. Because you see the action of your pet so extra well, it often produces impressive images.

4. Photograph in Portrait mode

When you have an iPhone that supports the Portrait Mode, such as the new  iPhone XS , you also shoot animals with the best pictures. The bokeh effect that blurs the background makes it easy to take photos that can be placed on the wall. Try to focus especially on the eyes, these are the best with this effect.

5. Quick search in Photos

Every animal lover undoubtedly has endless photos of his or her pet. To get a quick overview of all the photos, the smarter search function in the Photos app in iOS 12 comes in handy. Give as search 'cat', 'bird', 'guinea pig' or 'dog' and you get all the pictures with that animal on it.
