What's Wrong With My Pet? Let AI Help You Read the Signs.

Look for changes from your pet's normal baseline: hiding, reduced appetite, restlessness at night, repetitive licking or grooming, stiff posture, slow movement, or unusual vocalizations. Upload a photo or 30-second video to Pet Decoder and the AI will highlight observable body-language signs and suggest whether the pattern looks routine or warrants closer monitoring.

Yes — Pet Decoder gives every new account 10 free tokens on signup (enough for 10 photo analyses or 2 videos) so you can try the symptom and behavior reader on real photos and videos of your dog or cat with no card required. Most general 'symptom checkers' rely on text input alone; Pet Decoder reads the actual visual cues your pet is showing right now.

Focus on five anchors: ears (relaxed vs pinned), eyes (soft vs hard or squinted), mouth (loose vs tight, lip-licking, panting), tail (carriage and motion), and overall posture (loose vs hunched). Pet Decoder breaks each of these down for you in plain language so you do not have to guess what a tucked tail or tight mouth might mean.

Sudden changes in routine — sleeping more, hiding, restlessness at unusual hours, refusing favorite food, or a shift in vocalizations — are the signals worth capturing. Take a short clip during the behavior, run it through Pet Decoder, and you will get a mood read, body-language breakdown, and gentle next steps you can take that day.

Hiding is an instinct: many pets retreat to a quiet, low-stimulation spot when they feel overwhelmed, sore, or just need rest. It is not always a red flag — context matters. If hiding is paired with not eating, not drinking, or unusual posture, that combination is worth a vet conversation. Pet Decoder helps you spot which combinations matter most.

Signals that usually warrant a vet conversation soon: refusing food for more than 24 hours, repeated vomiting, labored breathing, sudden weakness, or significant behavior change with no clear trigger. Signals that often resolve on their own: a single skipped meal, brief lethargy after a busy day, or one episode of mild restlessness. Pet Decoder helps you tell these apart by surfacing the body-language pattern.

Vets benefit from specific observations: when the behavior started, how often it happens, what your pet was doing right before, and any visible posture or facial cues. Pet Decoder generates a written behavior summary you can share directly with your vet, which removes guesswork and shortens the conversation.

If you are noticing changes in your pet and want a structured, repeatable way to capture them, yes. A good tracker turns vague worry ('she's just off today') into specific, dated observations — which is exactly what your vet wants. Pet Decoder logs every analysis to your history so you can see trends in mood and behavior over time.

AI looks at hundreds of body-language signals at once — ear position, eye softness, mouth tension, tail carriage, body weight distribution, breathing rhythm in video — and matches them against well-documented behavior patterns for dogs and cats. The result: a clear, plain-English read of what your pet is communicating, in seconds.
