See what's really in your cat or dog's food. Photograph the ingredients or scan the barcode for an instant quality rating, from Poor to Excellent.
Maskotak helps you understand what's really in your cat or dog's food.
Pet food labels are hard to read, and vague terms like "meat and animal
derivatives" hide what's actually in the bag. Maskotak reads the ingredients
straight off the packet and rates the food from Poor to Excellent, so you can
see at a glance whether it is built on real named meat or on cheap fillers and
additives.
HOW IT WORKS
Point your camera at the ingredients list on any pet food and Maskotak reads it
and rates it. You can also scan the barcode, enter it by hand, or search by name.
WHAT MASKOTAK LOOKS FOR
Higher-quality foods are rewarded for:
- Named meat or fish as the main ingredient, like chicken or salmon
- A high stated meat percentage
- Named organ meats and natural preservatives
Lower-quality foods are marked down for:
- Vague animal terms like "meat and animal derivatives"
- Grain and cereal fillers
- Added sugar and caramel
- Artificial colours and preservatives
Each food gets a clear score out of 10, a quality band from Poor to Excellent,
and plain-English notes explaining what raised or lowered the rating.
MADE FOR YOUR PET
Tell Maskotak whether you keep a cat or a dog, and what you want to avoid (grain,
artificial colours, artificial preservatives, or added sugar), and it will warn
you at the top of any food that does not suit.
FREE, WITH NO CATCH
Maskotak is completely free. There is no paywall and no subscription. It is
supported by ads, and a one-time Remove Ads purchase is available if you would
prefer to use it without them.
A NOTE ON THE DATA
Product information comes from Open Pet Food Facts, a free, community-run
database. It is smaller than the human food equivalent, so some products may not
be found by barcode yet. When that happens you can still get a rating by
photographing the ingredients label, which works on any packet.
Ratings are informational and based on publicly available guidance about pet
food ingredients. They are not veterinary advice. Always check the packet itself
and speak to your vet about the right diet for your pet.
