Nutrition · in the pet profile

Better understand what they eat,
starting with the label.

Scan the package with your camera and PawBook reads its label right on your iPhone: composition, food type, species and claims. Keep your foods, snacks and supplements in a tidy pantry so you can review them calmly. It organizes and interprets what the label says — it doesn't diagnose or decide for your vet.

What it is

Their pantry, read and organized

Nutrition is the module where you keep your pet's foods, snacks and supplements with all their information in one place. You photograph a package label and the app reads, locally on your iPhone, the analytical composition and what kind of food it is. It's a tool for guidance and organization to review the label more calmly: PawBook explains what the package says, it doesn't diagnose or decide whether a food is right for a specific pet.

Capabilities

From fine print to a clear card

Every detail on the package, read, organized and always under your control.

On-device scanning

You photograph the label and PawBook reads the text with Apple's OCR, right on the iPhone and in eight languages. The text analysis is local: it isn't sent to any server to be interpreted.

Block-by-block scanning

Capture the ingredient list, the analytical values table and the package front separately, so the app can interpret each block more reliably.

Analytical composition

It extracts and organizes protein, fat, fiber, ash, moisture, energy and micronutrients when they appear on the label, and includes the carbohydrates estimated from those values.

Type, format and species

It interprets whether it's complete, complementary or a snack, whether it's dry or wet food, which species and life stage it's for, and claims like grain free or single protein when they're declared.

Manual values win

Correct or complete any value by hand: that edit is marked as manual and automatic reprocessing never overwrites it. Reopening a food doesn't erase what you already saved.

Pantry and guides

Each card keeps the name, photo, format, category, ingredients and values. Mark favorites, filter by format or category and lean on the scanning and feeding guides.

Block-by-block scanning

Photograph the label, block by block

A guided full-screen flow walks you through it step by step: you add a name and a photo of the package, then scan the ingredient list and the analytical values table separately. Apple's OCR reads the text on your device and PawBook interprets it.

  • Ingredients and values captured separately
  • Local OCR in English, Spanish and six other languages
  • If the light is poor, a value may be missing; you complete it by hand

Reading the scan

A card that explains where each detail comes from

PawBook organizes the composition and shows the food type, the species and the declared claims, adapting the wording to cat or dog. Each value indicates its origin —from the label, inferred or estimated— so you know what you're reading. It's information, not a grade or a quality ranking.

  • Composition and micronutrients organized
  • Wording adapted to the food's species
  • Every detail shows where it came from

You have the final say

Correct, save and organize your pantry

If something doesn't match the package, you edit the values or the micronutrients by hand and that correction is always respected. When you save, the food enters your pantry, where you mark it as a favorite or filter it by format and category. Data you've already saved doesn't change on its own when you reopen a food.

  • Manual edits as the source of truth
  • Favorites and filters: kibble, wet, complete, snack
  • Syncs across the pet's caregivers

The label analysis happens on your iPhone with Apple's OCR — it doesn't use generative AI. PawBook organizes and interprets what the package says; it doesn't diagnose, doesn't grade the food and doesn't replace your vet. Your cards are stored on your device and in your private iCloud.
