Pawlaris
Pet food label checker for iPhone

Is this food right for your pet?

Not every pet food is right for every dog or cat. Scan an ingredient label and Pawlaris checks it for allergens, flagged ingredients and nutrition, so you know what's inside before you fill the bowl.

Your first 5 full analyses are free. Allergen alerts stay free after that.

FAQ

How do the 5 free full analyses work?

One is used only when you photograph a label and the analysis completes. Retakes, failed analyses and searches by brand or product name don't count.

What happens after I use all 5?

Allergen alerts stay free. The rest of the full analysis requires Pawlaris Pro.

Can I scan barcodes?

Not yet. Photograph the ingredient label, or search by brand or product name.

Does Pawlaris replace my vet?

No. Pawlaris provides educational pet nutrition information only. Always consult your veterinarian about your pet's dietary and health needs.
