iPhone
Scan dog and cat food free - no subscription needed to see a score. Get a 0-100 rating, the reasons behind it, and an alert if a food you scanned is recalled.
Know what's actually in your pet's food.
Scan the barcode on any bag, can or box of dog or cat food and FurMetric gives it a score out of 100 — with a plain-English breakdown of exactly what helped and what hurt.
No jargon. No guesswork. No wondering whether "meat by-products" is a problem.
SCAN AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE — ALWAYS FREE
Unlimited scanning, forever. No daily limit, no trial countdown, no wall between you and the answer while you're standing in the aisle.
SEE WHY, NOT JUST WHAT
Every score comes with the reasoning: which ingredients earned credit, which lost points, and why. Named meat near the top of the list is a good sign. Artificial colors, unnamed by-products and chemical preservatives are not. You can read the whole method in the app.
THE SAME PRODUCT ALWAYS GETS THE SAME SCORE
Scan a bag today and again next year and you'll get the same answer. Scores don't quietly drift, and they don't change because you asked twice.
TOXIC INGREDIENT WARNINGS
Xylitol, onion, grapes and raisins are checked on every scan and flagged immediately, no matter how good the rest of the label looks.
FREE RECALL ALERTS
If a product you've scanned gets recalled, you get told. Free, permanently. A recall means a product could actually harm your pet — that is not something to put behind a subscription.
ALLERGY FLAGS FOR YOUR PETS
Add your dog or cat and the ingredients they react to, and FurMetric will flag them on every scan.
CAN'T FIND A PRODUCT? ADD IT IN TWO PHOTOS
Photograph the front of the bag and the ingredient panel. FurMetric reads the label, you check it's right, and it's scored on the spot — and it's there for the next person who scans it. Products we add this way come from a photograph of the actual bag — never copied from a website, never typed from memory.
WE'D RATHER SAY "WE DON'T HAVE IT" THAN GUESS
If a label can't be read clearly, FurMetric refuses to score it and asks for a better photo. If a product isn't in the app yet, it says so instead of guessing.
DOGS AND CATS, WET AND DRY, FOOD AND TREATS
All of it, in one app.
WHAT WE DON'T DO
No ads. No sponsored placement — a brand cannot buy a better score. No affiliate links: we earn nothing when you buy something we scored well. No account to create. No tracking. Your scan history, your pets and their allergy flags stay on your phone.
FurMetric gives you information about ingredients. It is not veterinary advice — always talk to your vet about your pet's diet and health.
Ratings & Reviews
Your score now counts up when a scorecard opens, and the phone gives a small tap when a barcode is read — and a stronger warning buzz if a product contains a toxic ingredient.
History now tells you when FurMetric is watching your scanned products for recalls, and offers to turn notifications on if they're off.
"What helped" and "what hurt" now list the biggest factors first, without point numbers that never added up to the score.
