Understand the product, not just the label
Scan a barcode, search by name, or browse a growing catalog of more than 4,000 scored dog and cat foods, treats, and toppers.
Each PetRoot Score comes from PetRoot's proprietary, category-specific scoring algorithm, informed by AAFCO and WSAVA guidance and more than 100 peer-reviewed studies. It is calculated from product evidence rather than generated by AI.

Questionable fit for Luna×

Luna's profileLabradoodle
Moisture10% maximum
Luna's Labradoodle profile includes Poodle ancestry. PetFit flags this dry recipe's low moisture as a urinary-health consideration worth discussing with her veterinarian.
A good score is only part of the answer
The PetRoot Score measures the product itself. PetFit is separate: it checks the product against your pet's allergies, sensitivities, and medical conditions and flags potential conflicts.
PetFit also considers preferences you select and surfaces breed- or ancestry-related tendencies that may be worth discussing with your veterinarian.
Stay informed about recalls
Save the products a pet currently uses to their profile. If an FDA recall affects one of them, PetRoot can send you a push notification.
Spot is always there to help
Spot can recommend products, explain scores and ingredients, compare options, and answer common safety questions about human foods, houseplants, and more.
Luna is bored with her current treats. What should we try next?
Try Meadowtail Salmon & Pumpkin Bites. They received a PetRoot Score of 83, with positive marks for complementary protein and amino acid structure, as well as minimally processed starch ingredients.
They're also chicken-free, so they avoid the allergy trigger saved in Luna's profile. Want me to show you a few more options?
