Weekly wellbeing report Whisperer+
How the week actually went
A week of reads, turned into a wellbeing score, a mood mix and two or three things worth noticing — written only from the reads that really happened.
Why a week
By Thursday, Monday has gone
You notice something. He's clingier than usual, or quieter, or back to staring down the hallway at nothing. Then work happens, the week folds into one long Tuesday, and when somebody finally asks how long it's been going on you genuinely can't say.
One read tells you about a minute. Seven days of them tell you about a dog — which is why Dogoos keeps the week as a unit and writes it up once, properly.
What's on the page
A score, three charts, and two or three things worth noticing
It opens on a number out of 100 and a one- or two-word verdict, then shows its working. Nothing on the page is decoration: every block is counted from reads you actually took and sessions you actually logged — walks, runs, play, training, swims.
The honest bit
What the AI is actually handed
It never sees the clip. It never sees the keepsake photo. What goes to the model is a list — one line per read: when you took it, which of the six moods it landed on, how confident that read was, and the caption it came back with. That's the lot, unless you've left Personalised insights on in Settings, in which case your dog's name, breed, age and personality go with it.
The instructions it writes under are short and blunt: base everything only on the reads provided, never give veterinary diagnosis, and if the week was quiet, say so kindly. That last one does more work than it looks — three reads get you three reads' worth of report, not a padded one.

Straight answers
What it will and won't claim
What it does
- Scores the week 0–100, labels it in a word or two, and sums it up in one warm sentence.
- Keeps the charts live — trend, mix and activity redraw every time you open it.
- Names two or three real moments: a best one, plus any watch-out worth a gentle note. A week that had no watch-out doesn't get given one.
- Says at the foot of the page how many of the week's reads the written summary covers.
- Holds back the activity comparison until five days have reads on them, two active and two at rest.
What it won't do
- Diagnose anything, ever. A worry goes to your vet, not to a score.
- Invent a moment — it only has the reads, and it's told to stay inside them.
- Read "Appeasing" as guilt. It's a response to your tone, and the app says so.
- Rewrite itself because you asked twice. The prose is written on your first open of the week and that phone keeps it — the only "Try again" button is the one that turns up when the report failed to build at all.
- Spend one of your daily reads, or pretend an empty week happened.
Getting a good one
Three habits that make it worth reading
Spread the reads out
The trend chart has seven bars, and ten reads on one glorious Sunday tell it nothing about Wednesday. Morning, mid-walk, after the post arrives.
Log the exercise
A swim counts. So does a training class, a run round the field, twenty minutes of tug in the kitchen — the minutes go in whatever you called the session. The block wants five days with reads on them, two active and two at rest, before it compares anything; under that it says "not enough data yet to spot a pattern" instead of inventing one from a Tuesday.
Don't peek before Sunday
The first time you open the report in a given week is the moment the prose gets written. Peek on Tuesday and Tuesday's two reads are the summary you'll still be reading on Sunday — the footer will say so, in so many words: "covers 2 of this week's 14 reads". The charts keep moving either way. The writing doesn't.
Worth knowing. The weekly report is Whisperer, Pack Leader and Kennel. Tracker doesn't include it — and neither does a Tracker Pass, because every Pass in Dogoos grants Tracker and only Tracker. No wheel spin, gift code or referral will ever hand you one.
Questions, answered
The sniff test
Is the wellbeing score a health check?
No, and it isn't trying to be. It summarises what the reads showed — mood, and how sure the AI was about each one. It's told to stay behaviourally grounded and never to give a veterinary diagnosis, so it may well put a run of uncertain 6pm reads down to the delivery routine; it will never put them down to a condition. It can't see a lump, a limp or a temperature at all. A worry goes to a qualified vet — the report is there to help you describe it, not to answer it.
I took two more reads — why hasn't the summary changed?
Because it was written the first time you opened the report this week, and that copy is the one you keep. The foot of the page tells you exactly where you stand: how many reads the written summary covers, and this week's live total. The charts above it update either way, and next week's summary picks up everything this one arrived too early for. One caveat: that written copy is saved on the phone that generated it. Open the same week on a second device and it writes a fresh one there — which spends another of the week's report budget, and on Whisperer that budget is five.
Does the report see the clips or the keepsake photos?
No — Dogoos doesn't store the video clip as a video at all, and the keepsake stills stay where they are. The report is written from the list of reads, never the pictures. Turn Personalised insights off in Settings and even your dog's profile stays out of it: the report comes back written about "the dog".
Is there one report per dog?
One per dog, per calendar week — each dog's week is scored and written on its own. The weekly budget matches the plan's dog cap: five on Whisperer, ten on Pack Leader, with none left over for a re-run. If you share a household, the week covers the household's reads of that dog — so it includes the ones your partner took while you were at work, each already stamped with who took it.
Which plans include it, and where do I subscribe?
Whisperer and Pack Leader, bought inside the Android app, where Google Play shows the exact price in your own currency. Kennel includes the report too — but Kennel isn't sold in the app at all. It's a conversation, so you email hello@dogoos.com and we talk it through. The web app opens your account; it can't take payments.
Your dog's week is happening anyway.
You may as well have it written down.
