Count her breaths while she sleeps.
A rising sleeping breathing rate is the earliest sign of heart trouble you can catch at home. NOKA makes the nightly count easy — and turns it into a trend your vet can use.
Why sleeping breaths
The number your vet asked for
It shows up first at rest
When a heart starts working harder, breathing quietly speeds up — during deep sleep, before anything you’d notice awake. That’s why your vet asked you to count.
Under 30 is the usual benchmark
Most dogs and cats take fewer than 30 breaths a minute in deep sleep — many far fewer. Your vet may set a different target for your pet, and NOKA uses theirs.
The trend matters most
One fast night can be a warm room or a dream. A rise that holds across nights is what’s worth a call — so NOKA watches the pattern with you, not just tonight’s number.
How NOKA works
Three steps, one habit
1 · Count tonight
Wait for deep sleep, then tap anywhere, once per breath. Thirty or sixty seconds — done.
2 · See her trend
Every count lands on a real timeline, beside her own baseline and the target your vet set.
3 · Share with your vet
One clean page — the trend, the numbers, the notes. Made to be read in a consult.
Counting happens in the dark. NOKA was designed there.
No white flash at 11 PM. Night mode is red-shifted and barely luminous — bright enough to count, dim enough to leave the room asleep. No blues, no greens, nothing louder than the count itself.
The whole app follows the clock: after dark, every screen keeps to the ember palette until morning.
