Dog and cat food checks for iPhone
Know before
you feed.
Snacco checks an ingredient label, barcode or food photo against dog- and cat-specific risks. Every result explains what was flagged and why, without pretending an app can guarantee safety.

Three ways to check a food.
Choose the input that matches what is in front of you. The safety verdict remains rules-based.
Look up the product.
The barcode is matched through the open Open Pet Food Facts database, then the returned ingredients are checked for the selected pet.
Name what is in view.
An optional photo check identifies the food, strips photo metadata before processing, and then applies the same cautious toxin rules.
A verdict should explain its limits.
Snacco never displays the word “safe”. A result describes only what the app could identify and match.
- Avoid
- A known dog or cat toxin was matched.
- Check with your vet
- The ingredient can depend on amount, species or the individual pet.
- No toxins detected
- Nothing readable matched the current database. This is not a safety guarantee.

What can Snacco check?
Snacco can read an ingredients label, look up a pet-food barcode through Open Pet Food Facts, or identify a photographed food through the optional Snacco+ photo check. The result is checked against dog- or cat-specific toxin rules.
Does “no toxins detected” mean a food is safe?
No. It means nothing Snacco could read matched a known toxin in its database. Labels and databases can be incomplete, so Snacco deliberately avoids calling a food safe.
Does Snacco replace a veterinarian?
No. Snacco is an informational check, not veterinary advice or a medical device. For suspected poisoning, contact a veterinarian or the Animal Poisons Helpline immediately.
What Snacco data stays on the iPhone?
Pet profiles, scan history, favourites, recall matching and preferences stay on the device. Snacco has no user account, advertising or third-party analytics.
