of homemade pet meals miss an essential nutrient. Yours doesn't have to.
From a home-cooked bowl to a bag of kibble — PetFuel handles it all.
A full nutrient read against your pet's life-stage targets — not a vague score.
Close the gaps and watch completeness climb, week over week.
Both. Dogs get the full experience — build home-cooked meals from ingredients and see how they measure up, or scan store-bought food. Cats are tracked through commercial foods: scan a barcode, snap the nutrition label, or enter the numbers by hand, and PetFuel tracks calories and macros. We deliberately don't score homemade cat food against micronutrient targets — the published data isn't reliable enough to do that honestly, so we don't pretend.
Every ingredient you add is matched against USDA FoodData Central, the public nutrition database. The day's totals are then compared to science-based nutrient targets (NRC / AAFCO profiles) calibrated to your pet's weight and life stage. If something's short — say calcium or zinc — PetFuel flags the gap and suggests ingredients that actually close it.
No. PetFuel is nutrition information, not veterinary advice. Targets and scores reflect published guidelines for healthy adult animals — not your pet's individual medical situation. If your pet has a health condition, special life-stage needs, or you're managing weight under supervision, work with your vet or a board-certified veterinary nutritionist.
Yes — and you can mix them in the same bowl. Build meals from raw ingredients, scan packaged food by barcode, or combine both (kibble topped with chicken and veg, for example). One honest caveat: full micronutrient analysis is only possible for ingredient-based meals. For packaged foods we show calories, macros, and the manufacturer's “complete & balanced” status — pet-food labels don't publish micronutrient numbers, and we won't invent them.
PetFuel is free to download and use — including label scanning. PetFuel Pro unlocks the deeper analysis and coaching features, at $49/year (or $7.99/month), with a 7-day free trial so you can see the full picture before paying anything.
