Our goal is for Health Check to be as convenient and helpful as possible:

• Download DIG Lab’s Health Check in the App Store
• Take a photo of your dog’s stool
  • Submit your dog's sample with one tap (Take your centered, focused photo in daylight, please!)
• Wait 10 seconds for real-time analysis
  • Powered by proprietary AI that is constantly improving
• Get your Health Report
  • Includes recommendations to see vet, tweak your pet’s diet or tips to keep rocking a healthy grade

Center and focus the image. Be sure not to use a flash or any reflections, and try to take your photo in the daytime for optimal light.

No need to collect an actual physical sample; a photo will do! We do not accept fecal samples or any other types of submissions from users besides photos of their dogs’ stools.

Sorry, but a veterinarian will best be able to evaluate your pet’s records. We are focused on building new tools for you to deepen your understanding of your pet’s health.

We encourage you to use our ‘Add Notes’ feature for each result to help further build an understanding of your dog’s health status and tracking. Ongoing contextual detail can be beneficial in identifying food intolerances and other triggers.

DIG Labs Health Check is powered by proprietary artificial intelligence (AI.) Nutrition is the #1 contributor to overall canine health, thus the look and consistency of a dog’s stool is one of the easiest windows to what’s happening internally. We've studied thousands of dogs’ stool samples to teach the algorithm to produce a health report based on factors such as color, mucus, and the presence of parasites.

Weekly or bi-weekly use helps DIG Labs (and you!) understand your dog's normal baseline and offers recommendations to address gut health symptoms and promote well-being. Although we love technology, it is not a direct replacement for thorough and timely in-person veterinary care for your dog. Our goal is to arm your dog's caregivers, including you and your veterinarian, with the most information possible to make informed decisions. That's why we'll proactively suggest a vet visit and have made it simple to share the photo and analysis.

If you'd like to keep a copy of your dog’s data outside of Health Check, we encourage you to take screenshots or recordings of your results.

DIG Labs’ mission is to empower all pet caregivers to help their animals live healthier lives, and as part of that, we’re proud to offer Health Check at no cost to anyone with an iPhone®. Pup parents may purchase our supplements or other suggested products if recommended based on their dog’s results.

Health Check works on all canine breeds.

Health Check was expressly created for canine stool analysis and is not designed for other animal or human use. You should not use Health Check for any other purpose, and we don’t endorse results that are non-canine.

DIG Labs may suggest that you contact your vet for follow-up opinion and care. For easy knowledge sharing pre-appointment, take a screen grab of our findings, plus the stool photo, and share them with your dog’s care team.

As dog parents, we value the special relationship a veterinarian plays in your animal’s life. DIG Labs Health Check was built to foster this relationship; while we’re proud to provide tools to help capture stool issues and inform your conversation with your veterinarian, we encourage you to speak to them directly.

No. DIG Labs does not diagnose or treat disease or health issues. We use image-based search to suggest the most likely causes behind the symptoms your dog is having, and we recommend improvements to diet and lifestyle based on these findings (where possible) to promote healthy living. We are a partner, a “gut-check” when situations are unknown, and a triage to help pet parents determine their next course of action, if any. Our supplements and broader lifestyle and wellness tips help upset stomachs get back to normal.

DIG Labs Health Check is not a replacement for a trip to the vet; if your dog is continuously ill or you do not know what is wrong with your animal, you should seek in-person consultation and care from your veterinarian as soon as possible.
