Scan the barcode. See what's really in it — before your pet eats it. ◆ 30,000 FOODS, BUILT IN ◆ Thirty thousand popular dog and cat foods ship inside the app. Most scans return the moment the barcode lands — no lookup, no waiting, and no connection needed. The catalog works in the aisle, in the basement, and on a plane. Not in it? Photograph the ingredient panel and get the same analysis. ◆ HOW A FOOD GETS ITS SCORE ◆ Every ingredient on the label is read and rated: what it is, why it's in the food, and what to watch for. Each product gets a safety score that applies to any pet, and a suitability score for yours — a food can be fine in general and wrong for your dog. Add a profile with your pet's allergens and PetScans names the conflict instead of leaving you to spot it. "Wheat flour is the first ingredient, and wheat is listed in Luna's allergen profile" is the kind of sentence you get back. ◆ NO BRAND PAYS US ◆ No sponsored scores. No affiliate links to the foods we rate. No manufacturer can move a rating, because none of them are paying for anything. The score you see is the score everyone sees. ◆ WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM ◆ Ingredient safety is sourced from AAFCO feed standards, FDA pet food regulation, ASPCA Animal Poison Control, the Merck Veterinary Manual, and peer-reviewed research. Warnings cite the source behind them. PetScans provides educational information only and is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice.

If a food conflicted with your pet's profile, that warning was being dropped once the scan reached History. It isn't any more. Thanks for using PetScans! ### 1.4.4 — 2026-08-06 Every ingredient now explains itself. • Tap any ingredient to see what it actually is, why it's in the food, and what to watch for — including the hundreds that used to open an empty sheet. • Searching by brand works properly now. Type "purina" and you get Purina foods first, instead of whichever product happened to have the shortest name. • Over 30,000 dog and cat foods are built into the app, up from 20,000. • Sharper ingredient matching, so more foods score correctly on the first scan. • A safety warning now looks the same everywhere it appears, so an ingredient can't seem riskier on one screen than another. Thanks for using PetScans! ### 1.4.3 — 2026-07-30 See PetScans work before you finish setup. • During onboarding you can now search your own pet's foods and see them scored right away — so the app proves itself before you're done setting up. • Set up what to avoid — grains, chicken, common allergens, and more — once, and PetScans now applies those groups everywhere it scores, not just on a single scan. • Fixed a score card that could slide sideways off the screen when a product had a very long ingredient name. • Sharper ingredient matching, so more foods score correctly on the first scan. Thanks for using PetScans! ### 1.4.2 — 2026-07-27 Scanning is instant now. • Over 10,000 popular pet foods are built into the app, so most barcodes score the moment you scan them — no waiting on a lookup. • PetScans opens much faster, especially the first time you launch it after installing. • Sharing a scan now produces a proper score card you can actually send to someone, instead of a wall of text. • Fixed a handful of first-run problems, including choosing what to avoid during setup and the camera permission prompt. Thanks for using PetScans! ### 1.2 — 2026-07-22 We've made product lookups faster and more reliable behind the scenes, and refreshed our privacy disclosures.
