About Pet Food Scanner: PawLens
Scan any cat or dog food and see what the label hides. Point your camera at a barcode or snap the label, and PawLens shows a clear 0–100 score built from the nutrition math on the package — protein, carbs, fat, and calories, all normalized to dry matter so wet and dry foods compare fairly. The same food always gets the same score, for everyone. No sponsorships, no favorites. Add your pet's profile and PawLens goes further: it checks every food against their allergies and health conditions and tells you, in plain words, whether it's a good match for them. WHY DRY MATTER? A wet food that says "9% protein" isn't low-protein — it's mostly water. Remove the water and it might be 45%. That one calculation changes how you see every label, and PawLens does it for every food, instantly. We show the math too. WHAT YOU GET FREE • Unlimited barcode scans of known foods • Full scan history • 2 label-photo analyses per month for foods we haven't seen yet • Pet profiles with allergies and health conditions PAWLENS+ • Complete nutrient breakdown on every food • Match: personalized guidance for your pet's allergies and conditions • Compare any two foods side by side • Better-alternative suggestions when a food scores low • Recall alerts for the foods you've scanned • Unlimited label-photo analyses PawLens+ is $6.99/month or $39.99/year. The yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically. Every scoring rule is documented in the app, with sources. If you disagree with a score, you can read exactly how we got it. Made for pet parents who read labels — and for the pets who can't.
