Safe for Tulip
Plain cooked carrot
- Low in calories and high in fibre. Raw or cooked are both fine.
- Cut it lengthways for a small dog — a coin-shaped piece is the wrong shape to choke on.
Can she eat that?
You are standing in the kitchen holding something, and the dog is looking at you. Lovefed answers in a sentence, for your animal, and tells you why.
Don't feed this to Tulip
Grapes
- Grapes and raisins cause sudden kidney failure in some dogs and not others, and nobody can predict which.
- There is no known safe amount. A single grape has done it.
Two real answers from the app, for a dog with her breed and conditions entered.

iPhone first. No account, and the food answers are free.
It will also tell you when something is fine
Most lists are a wall of red. That teaches you to stop reading them, which is the opposite of useful on the day it matters.
Lovefed says plainly when there is nothing to worry about, and explains that too. Corn is not a poison. Peas are not a scandal. By-products are mostly organ meat. The warnings are worth more when they are not constant.
Some labels call xylitol “birch sugar”. It is the same thing, and it is one of the most dangerous sweeteners there is for a dog. Lovefed knows that name, and 220 other things a label might say.
Answers for your animal, not for “a dog”
Breed and health change the answer, often completely. Lovefed keeps 21 conditions and 28 breeds for dogs, 15 and 11 for cats, and applies them to every food you look up.
-
A Dalmatian and a bowl of sardines
Fine for most dogs. Dalmatians form urate stones, and sardines are dense in the purines those are built from.
-
An Irish Setter and a slice of bread
Irish Setters inherit a real gluten intolerance — not a fashion, a documented condition. Wheat gives them chronic diarrhoea and weight loss.
-
A large-breed puppy and a saucer of milk
Puppies cannot regulate how much calcium they absorb the way adults can. In a big breed, too much causes skeletal malformation — so “growing pups need extra calcium” is backwards.
-
Anything your pet is allergic to
An allergy is a flat no that overrides everything else, and you can add one that is not on the list.
Nothing leaves your phone
There is no account and no tracking. Your pet's conditions, their weight, what you searched for — all of it stays on the device.
This is not a feature to be proud of, it is the only decent way to build it. Your animal's health is nobody's business but yours and your vet's, and it is not an advertising profile.
