How it works
Snap, check, decide. That's it.

Why Pawpoy
Made for your pet, not the average pet
Generic apps rate food for everyone, which means no one. Pawpoy answers for your specific pet, with their history in mind.
Answers about your pet, not averages
Rating apps score food for a hypothetical average dog. Pawpoy knows Max is a 5-year-old Labrador who is carrying extra weight and takes joint medication. Every answer accounts for all of it.
Dogs and cats, done properly
What's fine for a dog can hurt a cat. Pawpoy applies separate safety rules for each species, like the propylene glycol and taurine differences most apps miss entirely.
A chat that already knows the context
After a scan, ask anything about that food. The answers draw on your pet's profile and the exact ingredient list you scanned, not generic pet nutrition trivia.
Everything in one place
More than a scanner
An answer made for your pet, not a score for everyone
Snap a photo or scan the barcode. Pawpoy reads the full ingredient list, checks it against a curated database of flagged ingredients and AAFCO guidance, then weighs what it finds against your pet's profile. You get a reason, not just a number.
- Works on any brand, from big names to boutique
- Barcode lookup for instant results on known products
- Follow-up chat that sticks to the food you scanned
- Ingredient-by-ingredient breakdown when you want the detail

Built on real data
No black box. No pay-to-play ratings.
Every verdict shows its reasoning and where it comes from, so you can check the work instead of just trusting a score.
Grounded in public safety data
Verdicts draw on AAFCO feeding standards, FDA recall records, and published ingredient research. No brand marketing, no sponsored ratings.
Reasoned for your specific pet
Every scan weighs the full ingredient list against your pet's species, breed, age, weight, and health conditions, so the answer explains why, not just what.
Honest about its limits
Pawpoy offers general guidance, not veterinary advice. No brand pays for placement, and when the data is thin, the verdict says so instead of guessing.
Under the hood
AAFCO-aware ingredient analysis
Curated database of 40+ flagged ingredients
Species-specific safety rules

Pawpoy offers general guidance, not veterinary medical advice. Always consult your veterinarian for health decisions about your pet.
Are you a veterinarian or clinic?
Your clients are already scanning labels and asking questions. Pawpoy gives them solid answers between visits and organized records before the appointment, so fewer "is this food okay?" calls reach your front desk.
Is Pawpoy free?
Yes. You get 5 free scans when you sign up, no credit card needed. Health records, reminders, and vet report sharing are all included free at launch.
Is this medical advice?
No. Pawpoy gives general guidance based on public ingredient safety data and AAFCO standards. It helps you make better buying decisions, but it never replaces your vet. For anything medical, talk to your veterinarian.
Which pets does Pawpoy support?
Dogs and cats, each with their own safety rules. The differences matter: the FDA bans propylene glycol in cat food but allows it in dog food, and cats need taurine in their diet while dogs make their own. Pawpoy applies the right rules automatically based on which pet you select.
How accurate are the scan results?
Verdicts combine a regularly updated database of flagged ingredients, AAFCO feeding guidelines, and your pet's profile. The more complete the profile, the better the answer, since age, breed, weight, and health conditions all change what's safe for your pet.
Does Pawpoy work with barcodes?
Yes. Scan a barcode for an instant lookup of known products. If a product isn't in the database yet, snap a photo of the ingredient list instead and Pawpoy will read it and run the same analysis.
How is my pet's data stored?
Your data is stored securely in Supabase (Postgres, hosted on AWS) and is never sold to third parties. Scan data may be used in aggregate to improve the ingredient database. You can delete your account and everything in it at any time.
Can I use Pawpoy for multiple pets?
Yes, add as many as you like. Each pet gets its own profile, health records, and scan history, and every scan is personalized to whichever pet you pick before scanning.
What is a shared vet report?
It's a secure, read-only link to your pet's health summary: medications, vaccinations, recent vet visits, and weight history. Your vet opens it in a browser, no account needed, and you can revoke the link whenever you want.
Your pet can't read the label.
You shouldn't have to decode it.
Scan your first label in under a minute. No credit card, no setup. Just a clear answer about whether what's in that bag is right for your dog or cat.
