Is it safe for your dog?
Chocolate. Grapes. Xylitol. Onions. Every dog parent has stood in the kitchen wondering if that scrap on the floor is a problem. PawCheck gives you the answer in seconds.
Type a food, scan a barcode, or snap a photo — PawCheck instantly tells you if it's safe, okay in moderation, not recommended, or toxic for your dog. No more frantic Googling at midnight.
HOW IT WORKS
Search any food in the home screen bar and tap Check. PawCheck runs it against a veterinarian-informed database and returns a clear, color-coded answer with specific guidance — like "remove the pit first" or "never feed raw."

RECALL ALERTS
Pet food recalls happen more often than you'd think. PawCheck's Recall Alerts tab shows recent FDA pet food recalls — brand, product, date, reason — with a link to the official FDA source for every entry. Stay ahead of what's on store shelves.
EMERGENCY HELP
If your dog ate something toxic, PawCheck puts ASPCA Poison Control one tap away: (888) 426-4435. Available from the home screen, the Toxic result card, and the emergency prompt.
