Today's food
What's been eaten, against the daily calorie range and the treat allowance.
Ask Rex
A meal and a walk, logged in one sentence
Tell Rex what happened, the way you'd say it to your partner, and it lands in the journal with the right dog, the date, the portion and the walk time. Free on every plan, Pup included.
Muddy hands, no taps
One sentence, two journal entries
One line, thumbed in the hall with a muddy towel in your other hand: “Millie just had 60g of gravy bones and we did a 40-minute walk.” That's two entries (the food with its portion and calories, the walk with its time), both filed to Millie, whichever dog the app happened to be showing.
Rex's cards show the dog and the day alongside what happened: Millie · 60g Gravy Bones, Millie · 40 min walk. They're the same entries the Nutrition and Activity screens make, so everything stays in one journal.
2 bonesfor a logged meal, up to three times a day.
15 minutesis how long a Confirm card waits for you if you close the screen mid-thought.
40 bonesbuys an extra read, on a day you've run out.
Before anything is written
Nothing is saved until you say so
Rex checks first
- You say itType it, or talk live in the mobile app
- He shows what he’d save“Nothing is saved until you confirm”
- You confirm, or bin itTwo dogs in one breath stack into one card
- Walk away?The card waits fifteen minutes, then lets it go
Type it, or say it
Type a message or use your keyboard's dictation. On Pack Leader, tap Live in the Android app and the same chat becomes a spoken conversation: Rex listens and replies out loud, finds places and gets you a booking price, and everything stays in the chat to pick up by typing. You can interrupt, mute or switch back to the keyboard whenever you like.
Rex shows what he'd save
A card headed “Rex wants to save this” lists what he'd write, with “Nothing is saved until you confirm.” underneath it. Two dogs in one breath stack into one card you confirm or discard together. Close the screen mid-thought and it waits fifteen minutes for you.
He tells you what happened
Recorded: 12.4 kg. Or, just as plainly, “No result came back. Treat it as not saved.” Rex only says something is saved once it really is.
Good to know. If the Confirm card is a step too many, turn Rex checks before saving off in Settings: simple journal logs then save straight away with an Undo. Medications, reminders, profile edits and switching dog still ask first either way, because those aren't one-breath decisions.
The everyday rhythm
Their regular bowls, without repeating yourself
Set each dog's usual meals, times and portions in Nutrition → Daily meal routines. One bowl can include kibble and wet food, each with its own amount. Then tell Rex they had their regular meal, or that all their regular meals happened today.
Forgot yesterday? Say the day and time and Rex shows the date before saving. A whole-pack request gets one confirmation with the dogs named, and a dog without a routine is flagged so you can fill the gap. Changing a puppy's portions from a chosen day keeps earlier meals as they were.
Asking, not just telling
Ask about your dog, get your dog's own numbers
“How's her eating looking?” is answered from what you've logged, not from what an AI assumes about a 12kg spaniel. And when there isn't enough in the journal to say, Rex tells you that instead of filling the gap.
What's coming up
Health reminders, soonest first: worming, flea drops, the booster.
How they've been
Recent mood reads, each with the confidence that read carried.
Active days vs brighter moods
The pattern in your own fortnight, once there's enough logged to see one.
Your own past chats
“What did we say about her ear last week?” Found, with the day.
Your numbers, not his
Rex writes down what you tell him
Name a food he hasn't seen on your dog's list and he won't invent its calories. He asks you for the kcal per 100g off the back of the pack, or offers to log the meal with the calories left unknown and says so.
Tell him your tracker said 4,200 steps and he writes 4,200 down. A dose is kept as free text, word for word as you said it: “half a tablet” stays “half a tablet”, never converted, never suggested. Dogoos records it, never calculates it.
Ask him what a lump means and he'll say warmly that it's one for the vet. Then he writes down what you saw, in your words, so it's there when you're in the room.
What Rex can reach
Your dog's journal, and nothing else
Rex works with your dog's records and the everyday screens of the app. He can't spend your bones, change your plan or touch your account, and any bones you earn follow the same rules as when you tap them yourself.
What Rex does
- Logs meals, walks, runs, play, training, swims, weigh-ins and notes
- Writes down your tracker's steps or distance, if you give him the number
- Adds medications and dated health reminders, and marks them done
- Updates a profile: energy, vibe, what they love, your health notes
- Switches the dog in focus: “let's talk about Skye”
- Opens twenty-four named screens (the Health Hub, the album, the wheel)
- Flips dark mode, or a palette you've already earned, then and there
Good to know
- He opens the camera for a read, and you point it
- Bones, the daily wheel and your plan stay in your hands, not his
- He can't run a breed check or change your account
- A locked palette stays locked; he'll tell you where it's earned
- He never diagnoses, and never works out a dose
- He never makes up a calorie count, a step count or a dose
Notes he keeps, notes you bin
He remembers the small stuff, and you can make him forget it
He keeps short notes from your conversations (“prefers walking before work”, “Millie is grain-free”), so you're not answering the same question every fortnight. Settings → What Rex remembers lists every one, and deleting a note stops it being used from your very next message. Opening Ask Rex starts a fresh chat; the old one becomes the first row of a searchable history.
The allowance. Ask Rex is on every plan. Pup starts with “Light chat”. Tracker's “Everyday chat” has 3× Pup's daily Rex chat budget; Whisperer's “Generous chat” has 10×, and Pack Leader's “Heavy chat” has 25×. The contact-only Kennel plan has 100× Pup's daily Rex chat budget. Each account has its own allowance, resetting at midnight UTC. Longer questions and tool use take more of it, so there is no fixed number of messages; AI safety limits can also apply. Rex tells you when today's chat is used.
Questions, answered
Before you ask him anything
Do I need a subscription for Ask Rex?
No. Pup includes “Light chat”; paid plans give you a larger daily allowance. Each account's allowance resets at midnight UTC, and Rex tells you when yours is used. Everything that's free.
Can Rex tell me what's wrong with my dog?
Not for certain, and he won't pretend to. Rex doesn't diagnose or work out a dose. When something sounds like one for the vet he says so, and he keeps the record straight in the meantime: your words, the dose as you said it, the weight curve, so your vet gets a clear history.
Will he save anything without showing me first?
Not by default. “Rex checks before saving” starts on, and every save waits behind a Confirm card. The exceptions are the theme and dark mode, which flip instantly because you can see them land. Switch the setting off and simple journal logs save immediately with an Undo; medications, reminders and profile edits always ask first either way.
Where do the calories in a logged meal come from?
From the food itself: a usual meal scales from the entry you already have. If it's new, he asks for the kcal per 100g off the pack, or logs it with the calories left unknown rather than estimating them. How Dogoos handles food.
What does he actually know about my dog?
The profile, the health journal, what you've logged, the mood reads with their confidence scores, and the notes he's kept from past chats. Nothing from anyone else's dog. What lives in the Health Hub.
Does Ask Rex work in the browser?
Yes. It's the same chat, the same account, at app.dogoos.com. Live camera reads need the mobile app, and Live voice chat with Rex (part of Pack Leader) currently runs on Android. In your browser you can type or use your keyboard's dictation. What the web app can and can't do.
Tell him once. It's in the journal, with the calories worked out
