## What is HealthyPaws?

Is your pet's food actually good? Scan any label and get an honest A–F grade in seconds. Scanning is free forever — no ads, no gimmicks. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds.

Most labels are marketing, not nutrition. HealthyPaws reads the full ingredient list and grades it against AAFCO 2024 standards — the same standards veterinarians reference. No vet degree required.

SCANNING IS FREE. FOREVER.
Point your camera at any label, upload photos, or paste a product link from Amazon, Chewy, or any brand site. Because HealthyPaws reads the actual label with AI, there's no product database to be missing your food — if it has an ingredient list, we can grade it. Every grade comes with a plain-English explanation, the good ingredients, and the ones to watch out for.

REAL GRADES, REAL STANDARDS
Every product is scored on what actually matters: protein quality (named whole meats vs. mystery meal), artificial preservatives (BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin), unnamed by-products, fillers, and vitamin and mineral balance. No "natural" buzzwords. Just transparent, ingredient-by-ingredient analysis.

PERSONALIZED FOR YOUR PET — FREE
Add profiles for your dogs, cats, rabbits, or birds — breed, age, weight, and health conditions like allergies or kidney disease. Every grade is tailored to your specific pet. Your full scan history saves automatically, so you can compare foods and catch quality drops after reformulations.

HOMEMADE RECIPES — FREE
A library of curated homemade meal, topper, and treat recipes for dogs and cats, with safety guidance built in.

HEALTHYPAWS PREMIUM (optional)
For pet parents who want to go deeper, Premium adds:
- AI Nutrition Assistant — ask anything about your pet's diet, share photos, reference past scans
- AI Recipe Generator — recipes built for YOUR pet's species, age, weight, and health conditions
- Vet Record Reading — upload vet records and HealthyPaws builds a medical profile that personalizes everything
- Care Reminders — never miss a vaccine, vet visit, medication, or grooming appointment
Premium is $4.99/month or $29.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings.

BUILT FOR EVERY KIND OF PET
Dogs, cats, rabbits, cockatiels, parakeets, parrots — most pet food scanners stop at dogs and cats. We don't.

OUR PROMISE
The scanner — the heart of this app — is free forever. No ads, ever. No selling your data, ever. HealthyPaws was built by one pet parent who got tired of confusing labels. Premium exists so the app can keep improving without ads or data selling — and if you never subscribe, you still get the best free pet food scanner on the App Store.

Download free. Scan your pet's food. See for yourself.
