AI pet food scanner
Scan a pet food label before you buy it
Ingredient panels are small, long and written for regulators. Point your camera at one and Pettioe reads it for you, then checks it against the species, allergies and conditions on your pet's own profile.
What you get
Food, treats and supplements — photograph the label and skip the squinting.
Highlights well-known problems such as xylitol, onion and garlic, grapes and macadamia.
Guidance differs for a dog, a cat, a rabbit or a parrot because your profile drives it.
Known allergies and conditions on the profile are matched against the panel.
Scans can be kept, so a food you rejected is remembered next time.
Track meals, treats and weight to spot drift after a diet change.

Common questions
What does the food scanner check?
Photograph the ingredient panel and Pettioe reads it, then flags ingredients that are commonly a problem — such as xylitol, onion and garlic powder, macadamia, grapes or raisins, and high-sodium additives — and compares the food against the species, allergies and conditions on your pet's profile.
Does it work for cat, bird and reptile food?
Yes. Because the check runs against your pet's own species and profile, the same scan gives different guidance for a cat than for a dog or a parrot.
Can it tell me if a food is good for my pet overall?
It gives an informed read of the label and known risk ingredients. It cannot replace a veterinary nutritionist, especially for pets with kidney, liver or pancreatic disease, where diet is part of treatment.
Does it read treats and human food too?
You can scan any ingredient label. Treats and packaged human food are common causes of accidental exposure, so those are useful to check.
What if my pet already ate something?
Do not wait on an app. Call your vet or an animal poison control line immediately. Pettioe's first aid guide covers what information to have ready.
