Before your first scan
Good questions. Clear answers.
What does Sniff check?
Sniff brings together the product label and your saved dog or cat profile. It highlights life-stage information, ingredient notes, calories, label completeness and cautions so you can understand the pack before you buy.
What if the barcode is not in the catalogue?
You can add clear photos of the front, ingredients, analysis and feeding guide. A missing barcode is not a safety result. Product coverage depends on the labels available to Sniff.
Can Sniff tell me a food is safe for a medical condition?
No. Sniff is educational, not a diagnosis or a substitute for veterinary advice. Ask your vet before changing a prescription diet or a feeding plan for a pet with a medical condition. A score cannot guarantee safety or nutritional suitability.
What is included in Sniff Plus?

Can I download Sniff now?
Yes. Download Sniff from the App Store on a compatible device running iOS 17 or later. The app is free to download, with an optional Sniff Plus subscription. Apple shows local availability, prices and purchase terms.
