Questions owners ask
What happens to the text I paste?
The instant scan runs in your browser. If you press "Explain with AI", the text and pet type are sent to an AI model through Vercel AI Gateway to generate the explanation. Nothing is stored by PetMed Helper.
Can the checker tell me how much is safe?
No. Labels rarely state amounts, and the checker never gives doses. Use the calculators for a known amount, and call your vet.
