PawGuard: Pet Food Scanner
Compare labels. Save products.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 1.1: review label text, see matching ingredients, and keep product notes for next time. Try 5 comparisons, then choose your Premium plan.
Compare pet-food labels with your own ingredient list, and save product details for your next shopping trip.
The app interface is in English. Ingredient names are compared in English.
MAKE A LIST FOR EACH PET
Choose ingredient suggestions or add your own words and phrases. Keep a separate list for each dog and cat, with optional related label names under your control.
READ, REVIEW AND COMPARE
Take a photo, choose an image, or type or paste label text. Photo text recognition runs on your device. Review and correct the text before comparing it with your pet's list.
SEE THE MATCHING WORDS
Each match shows the phrase from the label and the entry from your list. Unclear text, “may contain” wording and “free from” claims are shown for your review.
KEEP PRODUCTS FOR NEXT TIME
Save comparisons and products with notes and photos. Search your records, re-check a saved label when your list changes, and share your list or a summary with another caregiver.
CHOOSE HOW YOU USE PAWGUARD
Start with 5 free comparisons. Reading text, retries, re-checks and the sample label don't use them. An optional rewarded ad adds one comparison.
Premium gives you unlimited comparisons with no ads. Choose a weekly, monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Local prices and billing periods are shown in the app before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings.
UNDERSTAND THE LIMITS
PawGuard compares label words with your list. It does not diagnose allergies or decide whether a product is suitable for your pet. No matches means only that none were found in the reviewed text. Check the full package label: text recognition can miss or misread words. Talk with your veterinarian about suspected reactions or diet changes. Health statements in the app include source links.
Pet records and label photos are stored on your device. Optional rewarded ads use Google Mobile Ads.
