PawCheck Launches India’s First AI Pet Health Scanning App, Putting a Vet-Grade First Opinion in Every Owner’s Pocket
Free Android app uses Google’s Gemini AI to read a pet photo in under 10 seconds across eyes, skin, ears, teeth and gut health, and sorts every result into Normal, Monitor or Urgent.
Mumbai, India, July 7, 2026: Canine Products Private Limited today announced the launch of PawCheck, India’s first AI pet health scanning app, arriving on the Google Play Store. The free Android app lets dog and cat owners photograph a health concern and, in under 10 seconds, receive a plain-English read on the likely problem, how serious it may be, and whether a vet visit is warranted.
For India’s estimated 2.5 crore urban pet-owning households, the hardest moment is often the first one: noticing that something is wrong and not knowing what to do next. Veterinary access is uneven across the country, and even in the big cities a late-night worry or a small symptom that will not stop nagging rarely has a reliable first port of call. PawCheck was built for that moment. It does not replace the veterinarian. It gives owners the informed first read that used to be available only inside a clinic.
“Most pet owners do not delay a vet visit because they do not care. They delay because they are not sure it is serious enough,” said Ebrahim Mandviwala, Founder of Canine Products Private Limited. “We built PawCheck to remove that doubt, and to put a calm, knowledgeable second opinion in every pet parent’s pocket, at any hour, for free.”
At the centre of the app is the AI Health Scan, powered by Google’s Gemini 2.5, one of the most capable multimodal AI models available. It reads a photo taken on an ordinary Android phone and returns a structured result: the likely condition, a severity rating of Normal, Monitor or Urgent, a confidence indicator, and a plain-English explanation the owner can act on straight away. At launch the app covers eleven conditions across four areas of the body, namely eyes, skin, ears and teeth, for both dogs and cats.
PawCheck also introduces Gut Check, believed to be one of the first AI-assisted gastrointestinal triage tools built for Indian pet owners. The owner photographs a stool or vomit sample and answers five short questions about frequency, duration, appetite, the presence of blood and any change in behaviour. The app reads both inputs together and returns a severity rating with likely causes and next steps. One rule is hard-wired: any sign of blood automatically raises an Urgent warning, a deliberate choice that puts safety ahead of the algorithm.
The app is built for the long run, not just the single scan. A Health Dashboard keeps each pet’s scan history and builds a health score over time, and it supports households with several pets under one account. Vaccination reminders adjust to a puppy’s or kitten’s age and follow standard Indian veterinary schedules. A Vet Locator surfaces nearby clinics filtered by condition and species. A shareable Pet Health Card, delivered as a QR-coded PDF, lets an owner hand a full history to any vet in seconds. Every result screen carries the same clear line: PawCheck is an AI screening tool and is not a veterinary diagnosis.
That restraint is deliberate. In a category that often overclaims, the team made a simple bet: a tool that is honest about what it can and cannot do earns more trust, and gets used more, than one that overpromises. The automatic Urgent escalation on any sign of blood, the severity check that comes before any product suggestion, and the disclaimer on every screen all point to a product designed first for safety.
PawCheck is free to download and free to use, with a set number of free scans each month. A Pro plan at ₹99 a month adds unlimited scans, an ad-free experience and health-card export. The pricing is set low on purpose, so that cost is never the reason a problem goes unchecked.
The app is engineered for India. It is built to run on mid-range Android phones and patchy mobile networks, and it is designed to comply with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Pet and owner data is not shared with third parties without clear consent, and the consent flow is server-versioned so that policy updates do not require a new app release.
