PetNudge's AI assistant gives you instant answers about food safety, symptoms, nutrition, and everyday pet care. Scan food with your camera. Describe symptoms in plain language. Get guidance you can trust.
Capabilities
Three powerful tools in one app, designed to help you make better decisions about your pet's health every day.
Ask any question about your pet's health, behavior, nutrition, exercise, grooming, or training. The AI draws on extensive veterinary knowledge and tailors its responses to your pet's specific breed, age, and size. Whether you are wondering about the right portion size for your golden retriever or how to handle your kitten's nighttime energy, the assistant has you covered.
Point your iPhone camera at any food and get an instant safety verdict. The AI identifies the food and tells you whether it is safe, requires caution, or is toxic for your dog or cat. No more frantic Googling when your pet is eyeing your dinner plate. Just scan, read the result, and decide with confidence.
Describe your pet's symptoms in your own words and receive structured guidance. The AI helps you understand what might be going on, how urgently you should act, and what information to bring to your vet. It is not a diagnosis, but it helps you know when to wait, when to call, and when to rush to the emergency clinic.
Food Safety
The food safety checker is one of the most-used features in PetNudge. Here is how it works and why pet owners love it.
Tap the AI assistant in PetNudge and select the food safety camera option. The scanner activates your iPhone camera and is ready to identify food items in real time. It works in any lighting condition and can recognize hundreds of common foods.
Hold your phone over the food you want to check. The AI identifies it within seconds. You can scan fresh fruits and vegetables, cooked dishes, snacks, packaged foods, and even items from your own plate. If the AI is not sure what it is looking at, it will ask you to describe the food in text instead.
The result appears instantly with a clear safety rating. A green result means the food is safe for your pet. Yellow means caution is needed, typically in terms of quantity or preparation. Red means the food is toxic and should be kept away from your pet entirely. Each result includes a detailed explanation of why the food is safe or dangerous, what symptoms to watch for if your pet has already eaten it, and what to do next.
Symptom Analysis
When your pet is not acting like themselves, the AI symptom checker helps you understand what might be happening and how to respond.
You do not need medical terminology. Just describe what you observe. "My dog has been vomiting since this morning and seems tired." "My cat is scratching her ear constantly and shaking her head." "My puppy has not eaten in two days." The AI understands natural language and asks follow-up questions when more detail would help provide a better response.
The AI provides a clear breakdown: possible causes ranked by likelihood, recommended next steps, urgency level (monitor at home, schedule a vet visit, or seek emergency care), and what information to prepare for your vet. This structured format helps you make calm, informed decisions rather than panicking or dismissing something that needs attention.
If the AI determines that your pet's symptoms warrant professional attention, PetNudge can show you nearby veterinary clinics and emergency animal hospitals. You get directions, phone numbers, and opening hours so you can act quickly when time matters. The nearby vet finder works with your location to surface the closest options.
Important Guidance
The AI assistant is a powerful tool for everyday pet care questions, but it is not a substitute for professional veterinary care. Here is how to use it responsibly.
When in doubt, always err on the side of caution and consult your veterinarian. The AI assistant will always recommend professional care when symptoms suggest a potentially serious condition.
More Than Chat
The AI assistant works alongside PetNudge's other health features to give you a comprehensive view of your pet's wellbeing.
Keep a complete record of all your pet's vaccinations with overdue alerts and due-soon reminders. The AI assistant can answer questions about specific vaccines and their schedules.
Set up smart reminders for flea treatments, heartworm prevention, and prescription medications. Never miss a dose with push notifications and dose logging.
Track weight changes over time with visual charts. The AI can help you understand whether your pet is at a healthy weight and suggest dietary adjustments if needed.
Export comprehensive health reports including vaccination records, weight history, and medication logs. Share with your vet, boarding facilities, or keep for your own records.
Program an NFC tag for your pet's collar. If they go missing, anyone who finds them can scan and contact you instantly. No app required for finders.
Use the AI assistant and all features in English, French, Romanian, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, or Chinese. The AI responds in whatever language you write in.
