# How to export your pet's data or share a report with your vet

Open your pet's Care & Info tab, tap Share a Report, pick a date range and format, then tap Preview PDF or Share CSV. Sharing and exporting require Premium.

You can export or download your pet's data as a CSV spreadsheet or a PDF report.
Use it to keep your own copy of your entries, or to share your pet's care with your vet, a sitter or a trainer.
While you're signed in, your entries are already backed up to the cloud.
If you also want to back up your data yourself, download a CSV and keep the file.
The report is made on your phone, so it includes entries that haven't synced yet.

## Make a report

1. Tap your pet on the main screen.
2. Open the **Care & Info** tab.
3. Tap **Share a Report**.
4. Under **Date range**, pick **7 days**, **14 days**, **30 days** or **90 days**, or tap **Custom** to choose your own dates.
5. Under **Activities**, leave everything selected or tap an activity to leave it out.
6. Under **Format**, choose **PDF** or **CSV**.
7. Turn the options on or off.
8. Tap **Preview PDF** or **Share CSV**.

## Download or back up all your data

1. Follow the steps above, and under **Format** choose **CSV**.
2. Under **Date range**, tap **Custom** and pick the earliest date you want (up to 5 years back), ending today.
3. Leave all activities selected, and leave **Include notes** on if you want your notes too.
4. Tap **Share CSV**.
5. Save the file to your phone or cloud storage, or send it to yourself by email.

Each export covers one pet, so repeat it for each of your pets.
The CSV lists every entry with its date, time and details.
Attached documents are listed by name, and photos are included as links, not as files.
The file is a copy for you to keep.
You can't load it back into the app; to get your entries on a new phone, sign in instead.
See [How to fix missing data or sync to a new phone](https://www.kidplay.ai/help/i-have-missing-data-or-my-app-is-not-updated).

## PDF or CSV

- **PDF** is an easy-to-read summary with weight, potty accidents, medication doses, totals and a day-by-day table.
  It's best for your vet or a sitter.
- **CSV** lists every entry as a spreadsheet you can open in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.

## Options

- **Include every entry** adds the full list of entries after the summary.
  It's only offered for a PDF.
- **Include notes** adds the notes you wrote on each entry.

## Share or print the PDF

1. Tap **Preview PDF** to see the report.
2. Tap the share icon to send it by email, message or another app.
3. Or tap the printer icon to print it.

**Share CSV** opens your phone's share options straight away.

## Ask the Assistant

You can also ask the Assistant for a report, for example "Make a report of the last two weeks for my vet".
It gives you a link that opens **Share a Report** with those dates filled in.
See [How to use the Assistant](https://www.kidplay.ai/help/how-to-use-the-assistant).

## Premium

Sharing a report or exporting your data is part of Premium.
Without Premium, tapping **Share a Report** shows how to upgrade.
See [What's free and what's in Premium](https://www.kidplay.ai/help/doggy-time-premium-features).

## Troubleshooting

- **"Choose at least one activity."**
  Select at least one activity under **Activities**.
- **"The report couldn't be created. Please try again."**
  Close the report screen and try again.
- **"Can't finish the PDF"**
  Some text needs a font that is downloaded once.
  Connect to the internet and try again, or tap **Share CSV** to share a spreadsheet instead.
- **An entry is missing from the report.**
  Check that its activity is selected and that its date is inside the date range.
