Days, give or take, with your dog

The years are short. The days are where you change them.

Nothing dramatic shortens a dog's life. It arrives quietly — a generous scoop, a skipped walk, a few extra pounds that show up so slowly nobody notices until the vet says something.

In a fourteen-year study, Labrador Retrievers kept at a lean body weight lived a median of 1.8 years longer than their own littermates who were fed freely. Same breed. Same homes. The difference was the ordinary days.

Kealy et al., Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2002 — a 14-year paired-littermate study of 48 Labrador Retrievers.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs quietly.

No spreadsheets, no guilt, no homework. Pako asks for a little and gives back a lot.

1

Tell Pako about your dog

Breed, age, weight, body condition. Photograph your dog and Pako can recognise the breed from a catalog of 700+, including the designer crosses most apps can't name.

2

Log the ordinary things

Meals, water, walks, weight. Scan the food bag instead of typing it. Most days it takes seconds, and Pako remembers everything so you don't have to.

3

See one honest number

A daily health score from 0 to 100, recalculated every morning — plus the single change that would move it most today.

Good questions

The things people ask first.

How much does Pako cost?

Pako is free to start. Premium is $8.99 a week, or $89.99 a year — which works out to $1.73 a week, about 81% less. Billing goes through your Apple account and you can cancel anytime from your device's subscription settings. The price is always shown before you confirm anything.

Does Pako replace my care team?

No, and it isn't trying to. Pako is not a veterinary service and does not give medical advice. It helps you track and understand your dog's daily care, so the conversations you have with the experts start from real information instead of guesswork.

How accurate are the AI features?

AI results are estimates, not diagnoses. Breed identification, food scans, and health insights can be incomplete or wrong, so treat them as a starting point and check anything important with the experts.

Who can see my dog's data?

Only you. We don't sell your data, we don't use it for advertising, and we ship no ad trackers of any kind. Photos live in private storage reachable only through short-lived signed links. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

Where does the nutrition science come from?

Calorie and nutrient targets are built from published resting and maintenance energy equations (RER and MER) and NRC micronutrient reference standards, then adjusted for your dog's breed, age, weight, and body condition.

Will this work for a mixed breed?

Yes. Pako's catalog covers 700+ breeds including 250+ designer crosses, and where the breed is uncertain the targets fall back to your dog's actual size, age, weight, and body condition — which is what the math depends on anyway.
