HealthyPaws - Pet Food Scanner

Is your pet's food actually good? Scan any label in 2 seconds and get an honest A–F grade. Free forever, no ads, no subscription. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds.

Is your pet's food actually good for them? Most labels are marketing — not nutrition. HealthyPaws scans any pet food and gives it an honest letter grade based on AAFCO 2024 standards. No vet degree required.

100% FREE. NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER.

HOW IT WORKS

Point your camera at any pet food label, upload a photo from your library, or paste a product link. HealthyPaws reads the full ingredient list and runs it through a grading engine built on AAFCO 2024 guidelines — the same standards veterinarians reference.

In under 3 seconds, you get an A-to-F grade with a plain-English explanation of why.

REAL GRADES, REAL STANDARDS

Every product is scored on the criteria that actually matter:

• Protein quality (named whole meats vs. mystery meal)
• Artificial preservatives (BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin)
• Unnamed by-products and animal digest
• Filler content (corn syrup, cellulose)
• Vitamin and mineral balance
• Caloric density per serving

No vague health claims. No "natural" buzzwords. Just transparent, ingredient-by-ingredient analysis.

SEE WHAT'S GOOD. SEE WHAT'S NOT.

Every scan highlights the best ingredients (named whole meats, natural preservatives, balanced omega ratios) alongside the concerning ones (BHA, unnamed by-products, added sugars, artificial dyes). You'll know exactly what's in the bowl — and why it matters for your specific pet.

PERSONALIZED FOR YOUR PET

Add profiles for your dogs, cats, rabbits, or birds — including breed, age, weight, and any health conditions like allergies, kidney disease, or weight goals. HealthyPaws tailors every grade and recommendation to your specific pet. A "good" food for a healthy puppy isn't the same "good" food for a senior cat with renal issues.

AI NUTRITION ASSISTANT

Have a question about your pet's diet? Open the built-in AI chat and ask anything:

• "Is salmon safe for cats?"
• "Why does my dog itch after meals?"
• "How much should I feed a 25lb puppy?"
• "What's the difference between by-product meal and chicken meal?"

You get a thoughtful, personalized answer in seconds — backed by your pet's profile and scan history. Share a photo, reference a past scan, or just type a question.

FULL SCAN HISTORY

Every scan saves automatically. Filter by pet, revisit past results, and compare products side by side to find the best option for your budget. Track how your food choices evolve over time and catch products that drop in quality after reformulation.

BUILT FOR EVERY KIND OF PET

Dogs, cats, rabbits, cockatiels, parakeets, parrots — HealthyPaws supports them all. Most pet food scanners stop at dogs and cats. We don't.
