Recurring Events
Set up recurring schedules for medications, meals, walks, and other routine care tasks.
Creating a Recurring Event
Recurring events are templates that generate individual instances on your calendar. When you create one, you define:
What — The event type and details (e.g., "Heartgard Plus, 1 chewable")
When — Start time and recurrence pattern
How often — Every day, every week, every 2 weeks, monthly, or custom intervals
For which pet — Events are always tied to a specific pet
Recurrence Patterns
MoaTails supports flexible recurrence:
Daily — Every day at the same time (great for medications and meals)
Weekly — Same day(s) each week (grooming, training classes)
Bi-weekly — Every two weeks
Monthly — Same day each month (flea treatment, vet checkups)
Custom — Every N days, hours, or weeks
Editing and Modifying
You can modify a recurring event in two ways:
Edit the template — Changes apply to all future instances. Past completed instances are unchanged.
Edit a single instance — Override just one occurrence without affecting the rest. Useful for rescheduling a single appointment.
Pausing and Stopping
If your pet finishes a course of medication or you need to temporarily pause a schedule, you can:
End the recurrence — Set an end date on the template
Delete the template — Removes all future instances (completed ones stay in history)
Tips
Set medication reminders 30 minutes before you typically do them — gives you a buffer
Use the "notes" field on recurring events for dosage changes over time
