About Pet Food Safety Checker
What is this tool?
This is a real-time food safety screening tool designed for pet parents. With a traffic light warning system, it helps you determine in seconds whether food is safe to share with your dog or cat. The database compiles common ingredients and human foods, graded according to veterinary toxicity data, giving you peace of mind before feeding.
Key Features
This tool includes the following features to help you protect your pet's diet:
- Dual Species Support
Some foods are safe for dogs but toxic to cats (e.g., certain plants). We support instant switching between Cat/Dog modes to show species-specific toxicity info.
- Intuitive Traffic Light System
No need to read long texts. Instantly recognize risk levels with Green (Safe), Yellow (Caution), Red (Toxic), and Dark Red (Deadly) color codes.
- Symptoms & Emergency Advice
For toxic foods, we provide descriptions of common symptoms (e.g., vomiting, seizures) and emergency alerts for deadly items.
- Fuzzy Search
Forgot the exact name? Input keywords or aliases (like "Cocoa" vs "Chocolate") to find the correct item accurately.
How to Use?
Three simple steps. Check before you feed:
Select your pet species (Cat or Dog).
Enter the food name in the search box.
Check the result card for color coding and details. If it's Red or Dark Red, DO NOT FEED!
Why Check?
- Prevention is Better than Cure
Poisoning often happens when we think "a little won't hurt". Making checking a habit prevents most accidents.
- Avoid Hidden Dangers
Many healthy human foods (Garlic, Grapes, Xylitol) are deadly to pets. This tool helps you avoid these hidden traps.
