## What is Tend & Mend?

Ruff helps you track what your dog eats and how their gut responds — then finds the patterns. Now with Care Plan to keep vet visits, medications, and grooming on schedule.

Log a meal in seconds. Record stool quality after walks. Set up recurring care tasks and get reminded when they're due. Over days and weeks, Ruff's insight engine surfaces which foods are linked to digestive issues — without the guesswork.

--- What you can track ---
• Meals — food name, brand, type, ingredients, and amount
• Stools — consistency (normal, soft, diarrhea), mucus, blood, straining
• Extras — human food, grass, unknown objects, and anything unusual
• Care tasks — vet visits, medication, grooming, flea treatment, and more

--- What Ruff finds for you ---
Food correlations appear around Day 14–30. Ruff compares each food's loose-stool rate against your dog's personal baseline — not a generic average.

--- Care Plan ---
Create recurring tasks for your dog and get reminded when they're due. Mark tasks done directly from the notification — or snooze 30 minutes if you're mid-walk. Track medication dosage alongside your schedule.

--- Free plan includes ---
• Unlimited meal and stool logging
• Food-level correlations (based on last 30 days)
• Stool calendar for the current month
• Weekly and monthly summary notifications
• Care Plan with reminders
• Multi-dog support
• Share a dog profile with a partner or family member

--- Ruff Premium ---
• Protein-level analysis — see which proteins (chicken, beef, salmon…) are linked to issues, not just the food brand
• Human food impact — know if table scraps are affecting your dog's gut
• Full history — all logs, all months, no cutoff
• Vet report — export a PDF summary to share with your vet

--- Built for real dog parents ---
No complicated charts. No vet jargon. Just clear, honest answers about your dog's food and gut health, built up one log at a time.

Ruff works best with consistent logging — even just once a day.
