I’m so sick of my wife forgetting to do things (like take the medication that if she misses a dose it ruins her entire next day and sets off a ripple of migraines that can last a week) that I’ve just started stealing her phone to put in reminders.
If she has trouble remembering if she’s taken the meds, I highly recommend TimerCaps. They are a pill bottle lid that tells you how long it’s been since the bottle was opened.
We have several at my house-- I can check and see if my partner has drugged the dog or if I’ve taken my ADHD meds. My partner can also see if I’ve taken my meds.
Google Assistant or Siri are awesome for this. I just hold down a button on my phone or watch and then say, “Remind me <when> about <what>.”
My wife who is a saint and very patient encouraged me to do this enough times that it’s becoming a habit.

I’ll have to think about how those might fit for us or our pets.
She doesn’t have issues remembering that she’s taken the meds, just remembering to take them. It’s very much an out of sight, out of mind thing.
