ChowScan

Know what's actually in your pet's food.

ChowScan reads ingredient labels and returns a 0-100 health score backed by a 9,500+ product database and ingredient research from AAFCO and peer-reviewed veterinary sources. Scan a barcode or photograph the panel — the score, the flagged ingredients, and the science behind every flag are on screen in seconds.

—— METHODOLOGY ——

The score is deterministic. Every ingredient is graded against a curated dictionary that we publish in-app. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored brands, or referral commissions. We do not score brands — we score ingredients.

—— DATA ——

Some product data comes from Open Pet Food Facts contributors under the Open Database License (ODbL); recall data is sourced from the U.S. FDA. Both are credited inside the app.

ChowScan is an informational tool, not a veterinary service. Always consult your vet.
