Know exactly what your dog should eat.

Your dog’s daily calories, worked out the way vets do. Snap or type a meal and it’s counted.

A quick welcome now, then one email at launch.

Bowlmind app screen: Berkley is a 5 on the 1 to 9 vet body condition scale, Ideal. Berkley is 32 kg; a male Labrador Retriever is typically 29 to 36 kg.

Feed with a number, not a guess.

Snap or type a meal, and it’s logged.

Take a photo, scan the barcode, type “two biscuits and a carrot” or search the food. The app counts the calories. It knows food names in English, Slovak and Czech.

See if your dog is at a healthy weight.

A guided hands-on check puts your dog on the vet 1 to 9 body condition scale, and shows the weight against the breed’s typical range.

Dangerous foods get stopped.

Type chocolate or grapes and the app refuses to log it and tells you it’s not for dogs. Salty or fatty foods get a warning first.

The list follows the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center and the Merck Veterinary Manual.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your dog

    Weight, age, neutered or not, how active, and a quick hands-on body check. The app works out the daily allowance.

  2. 2

    Log what they eat

    Meals and treats, from a photo, a barcode or a typed line. The day adds up as you go.

  3. 3

    See how they're doing

    What's left for today, the body score and the weight trend from your weigh-ins, in one place.

How much should your dog eat?

Drag to your dog’s weight and watch the daily number change. It’s the same vet formula the app uses.

Shown for an adult dog with normal activity and an ideal body. The full calculator covers age, activity, body shape and grams of your food, and it’s free.

Neutered or spayed?

993kcal a day

An estimate. Treats and extras: under 99 kcal of it.

Frequently asked questions

Something else? Email hello@bowlmind.com.

Is Bowlmind free?

No. It starts with a free 7-day trial, then a paid subscription. The price will be announced before launch, and people on the waitlist hear it first. The calorie calculator on this site is free and stays free.

When does Bowlmind launch?

There's no launch date yet. The app is in testing now. Join the waitlist and we'll send you a quick welcome now, then one email when it's on the App Store.

Is it only for iPhone?

Yes. Bowlmind is being built for iPhone first, and there is no Android version at the moment.

Which dogs is it for?

Adult dogs of any breed or size, from 1 year old. Puppies need a vet-guided growth plan, so the app does not set a calorie number for dogs under 12 months.

Where do the calorie numbers come from?

From the formula vets use: resting energy (70 × body weight in kg to the power 0.75) times a factor for neuter status and activity, from the AAHA 2021 nutrition guidelines. Every number is shown as an estimate, and a monthly weigh-in shows whether it needs adjusting.

Does it replace my vet?

No. It helps you feed the amount you meant to feed. It never diagnoses anything, and before any weight-loss plan it suggests a vet check first.
