# How to archive a pet or mark a pet as passed away

Tap your pet, then the three dots and Edit. Choose Yes under "Has (your pet's name) passed away?" or "Archive (your pet's name)?", then tap Save. Past activities and photos stay.

When a pet is no longer with you, you can archive them or mark them as passed away.
Their activities, photos and records are never deleted.

## Archive or mark as passed away

1. Tap your pet on the main screen.
2. Tap the three dots at the top right, then tap **Edit**.
3. Scroll down and choose one:
   - **Has (your pet's name) passed away?**: tap **Yes**, then optionally tap "Tap to set date" to add the date.
   - **Archive (your pet's name)?**: tap **Yes**.
     Use this for a pet you no longer track, for example a foster pet that was adopted.
4. Tap **Save**.
