How can we help?

That’s exactly who it’s for. Much of what shapes a dog’s long-term health builds slowly — in everyday food, weight and activity — long before anything looks wrong. Pako helps you keep those on track while everything is still fine.

No. Pako is built to help, not to judge. Its health score shows what’s helping and what could improve, never a verdict on you as an owner.

No, and it is not built to. Pako covers the ordinary days between visits — what your dog eats, drinks, weighs and does. When something needs a professional, it tells you that rather than guessing.

Yes. If you know the mix, you can build it from its parent breeds. If you don’t, targets still come from weight, age and life stage, so a rescue with an unknown history gets real numbers too.

Yes. Set any target yourself, or apply Pako’s recommendations in one tap. Targets you set by hand are never overwritten.

How complete each area’s targets are. Every target met earns a five. An area with nothing due that day doesn’t count against you.

Calories start from resting energy, 70 × body weight in kg to the power of 0.75, multiplied by a factor for life stage, neuter status, activity and goal, following WSAVA and NRC guidance. See the science.

Food scanning looks up the barcode and reads the package when it has to. Body and digestive scans give general guidance, not a diagnosis. Every scan shows you what it found, so you can check it and correct it.

No. Body and digestive scans give general guidance, not a diagnosis. If something looks wrong or is getting worse, see your vet.

No. It summarises how their profile and everyday care look. It doesn’t diagnose anything.

No. It’s an estimate based on averages and everyday factors: a way to see which direction habits point, never a promise.

No. It helps with everyday questions, and when something sounds urgent it tells you to contact a vet straight away.

You, and anyone you deliberately share with. It is never sold, never used to build an advertising profile, and never handed to a data broker. See our privacy policy.
