Look more closely at the dogs you meet. Dog Scanner studies visible traits in a photo, suggests a likely visual match and gives you a practical place to record companion notes.
SCAN FROM YOUR CAMERA OR GALLERY
Photograph a subject when you find it, or choose an existing image from your gallery. The app sends the selected photo for AI analysis only after you start a scan. A useful photo should be well lit, in focus and large enough to show distinguishing features.
Each completed scan provides a likely breed match, the visible traits supporting it, alternative possibilities and suggestions for details that may help further research. The explanation helps you understand which visible clues matter instead of receiving only a name.
RESEARCH WITH BETTER VISUAL CLUES
When a first photo does not show enough information, the result suggests another angle, label, marking or detail to capture. This makes Dog Scanner useful for repeat observations and for comparing similar-looking dog breeds and visible breed traits.
AI results are a research starting point. They may change when you provide a clearer photo or reveal a detail hidden in the first image.
BUILD YOUR PRIVATE BREED NOTEBOOK
Save discoveries directly on your device and return to them later. Search the collection, mark favorites and open any saved result to review its visible evidence and alternatives. Share a formatted text report through the apps on your device when you choose.
The Companion Profile provides dedicated fields for approximate size, coat texture and observed traits. These notes preserve the context around a discovery without requiring an account.

SCANNING AND SERVICE LIMITS
Internet access is required for AI identification. Scanning includes up to 30 scans per installation per UTC day and remains subject to shared-network and service limits. Camera and photo-picker availability depends on your Android device.
Results depend on the quality and content of the selected photo. Blurred, distant, obstructed or poorly lit subjects may produce a broad match or an incorrect result.
USE RESULTS RESPONSIBLY
Visual breed identification can be wrong. Mixed ancestry and similar appearances can make breeds difficult to distinguish from a photo. Results are not DNA testing, proof of pedigree or veterinary advice.
When accuracy matters, compare the result with reliable reference material or an appropriate specialist. The app supports exploration, cataloguing and visual research; it cannot replace hands-on examination or professional judgment.
PRIVACY AND LOCAL CONTROL
Selected photos are sent through the app's backend to AI providers for analysis. The backend does not retain photos. Saved photos, generated results, favorites, checklist entries and notes remain in the app's private device storage.
Erase locally saved data from Studio or remove it by uninstalling the app. Android app backup is disabled. A shared discovery leaves the app only when you explicitly use Share and select a destination.
If you report an AI result, the app sends the selected report category, generated result text, model name, app identifier and result identifier for review. The report does not include your photo or private notes.
