See how it scores for your pet before you buy it.
Snap the front of a pet food, treat or chew, or scan its barcode. AI reads the label, and fixed rules score it 0–100 for your pet's species, allergies and some health conditions, with every factor shown.
For iPhone and Android. Dogs, cats and small pets.

Snap the label
Photograph the front of a food, treat or chew, or scan its barcode, in the aisle or at home. AI identifies the product and finds or reads its ingredients.
See the score and the why
A 0–100 score for your pet's profile, a plain verdict, every factor that moved it, any matching recall notice, and other options.
Every point, explained.
The AI reads the label; it never writes the number. Fixed, versioned rules compute the score, and every result has a "Why" list: what was found and how many points it moved.

- Beneficial ingredientsSalmon oil, flaxseed, sweet potato+6

Example rows for illustration. Real results depend on the label we read and your pet's profile.
Same bag. Two pets. Two scores.
When the ingredients we read include an allergen you selected for a pet, the score is 0 for that pet. Pick your pets before you scan and one scan scores each; tap between them to see each pet's score.

See a scan, live.
Pick a product, pick your pet's allergy, and scan. The same product scores differently for different pets: that's the whole point.

The demo uses fictional brands and example numbers. In the app, AI reads real labels and each scan is checked against the FDA and CPSC recall notices in our database.
Food, treats and chews.
Made for dogs, cats and small pets. Each pet's profile shapes its own score.
Species
A dog, a cat and a guinea pig need different things. Each ingredient is judged for the species of the pet you scan for.
Allergies
Chicken, beef, dairy, wheat or gluten, corn, soy, egg, lamb and fish. PawCheck knows common label aliases: "whey" is dairy, "corn gluten meal" is corn.
Conditions
Kidney, weight and sensitive-stomach conditions shape the score when the nutrition panel can be read. The app shows what it could check.
Ingredients
Each ingredient is sorted into a fixed group: beneficial, neutral, questionable or harmful. Named proteins count up; fillers and artificial additives count down.
Recalls
Each scan is checked against the FDA and CPSC recall notices in our database, which doesn't include every recall. If a notice matches, it's shown on the result.
Better options
PawCheck suggests similar products that score well for your pet, scored by the same rules, with links to look them up at stores.
Built like a tool, not a feed.
What a score is, and isn't
A PawCheck score is an automated assessment of the label we read, weighed against the profile you entered. It can be incomplete or wrong, and it is not veterinary advice. Always read the physical label, and ask your vet about your pet's diet and health. More in the FAQ.
