Answer a few questions about breed, age, weight, activity, health conditions, and budget. Describe your dog in plain language, so a quirk, a history, or a concern that doesn't fit a dropdown still makes it into the plan. Your data is encrypted and never shared with anyone. It is only used to find the right food for your dog. No account needed. Takes about 60 seconds.
Your dog's profile is matched against 4,000+ foods using AAFCO and WSAVA nutrient standards, breed-specific health data, and condition-aware scoring. No brand pays for placement. The ranking is nutritional fit, nothing else.
See which foods made the cut and why. only $4.99 to unlock the full wellness report: a comprehensive nutrition plan with weekly feeding guidance for your dog's goals, plus dental picks, supplement guidance, treat options, and a vet-shareable PDF.
The bag targets the average dog at a given weight. Review sites rank by commission, not nutrition. "Personalized" quizzes from food brands lead to that brand's checkout. The result: 56% of US dogs are overweight, not because owners don't care, but because every tool they use has a different agenda.
The quiz exists to justify the catalog, not to search the market. The answer is narrowed before your dog's information is even entered.
IntelliBowl pulls from a broad, cross-brand product database and ranks every option against your dog's specific nutritional profile. No brand pays for placement.
Every plan starts with personalized food recommendations grounded in your dog's breed, age, weight, health, and budget. The full wellness report goes further, for less than a bag of treats.
No account required to start.
Everything in the free plan, plus:
The engine loads your dog's data first. Then it evaluates every eligible food against that profile. What rises to the top is determined by nutritional fit, not brand relationships, trends, or which options happened to be in a catalog.
AAFCO nutrient profiles set the life-stage baseline. WSAVA feeding principles guide calorie and transition logic. Both are referenced openly, not treated as black boxes.
Breed predispositions, life stage, activity, health conditions, allergens, and food type preference all shape what the engine considers a fit. Change any variable and the shortlist changes.
Budget isn't an afterthought. A dog owner spending $40/month gets the best option in that range, not a push toward a $200/month fresh food subscription.
Every recommendation comes with plain-English notes on why it made the shortlist. You see the reasoning, not just a ranked list with no explanation.
Answer a few questions about your dog. The engine does the rest. No account required, free to start. The full wellness report (food plan, dental, supplements, treats, and a vet-shareable PDF) is $4.99 for launch (normally $7.99) if you want the complete picture.

IntelliBowl grounds every recommendation in AAFCO nutrient profiles and WSAVA feeding guidance, informed by what we learned from veterinarian consultations about how feeding decisions actually work in practice.
The algorithm ranks by nutritional fit. No brand receives preferential treatment. Every food in the catalog is evaluated against the same nutritional criteria, and that never changes based on who makes it.
For dogs with medical conditions or therapeutic diet needs, IntelliBowl should complement, not replace, veterinary advice. Read the full methodology.
The answers below explain what IntelliBowl does, what it does not do, and why the recommendation flow is built the way it is.
IntelliBowl uses your dog's breed, age, weight, activity, health history, ingredient constraints, and goals. The engine compares those inputs against AAFCO nutrient profiles, WSAVA feeding guidance, veterinarian-informed decision rules, and nutrition data from 4,000+ products to rank the best-fit options.
The engine evaluates every food in its catalog against the same nutritional criteria: AAFCO nutrient targets, life stage fit, ingredient quality, and your dog's specific profile. No brand receives preferential treatment in the ranking. The methodology behind how recommendations are scored is published on our methodology page so you can see exactly how it works.
IntelliBowl evaluates 4,000+ foods from across the broader market, not a single brand's lineup or a curated private catalog. The shortlist can include options from different brands, different food types, and different budget tiers. No brand pays for placement in results, and no brand is excluded from consideration.
You only need a short intake that takes about 60 seconds. Typical questions cover life stage, weight, activity, current food, ingredient issues, health context, and practical preferences like food form or budget.
The dog intake and personalized food recommendation are free with no account required. For $4.99 (launch price; one-time, not a subscription) you can unlock the full wellness report: a comprehensive nutrition plan with weekly feeding guidance tailored to your dog's goals, dental product picks, supplement guidance, treat options, and a downloadable PDF formatted to share with your vet. Less than a bag of treats and a fraction of what a vet nutritionist consultation costs.
Right now IntelliBowl is focused on dogs. Cats are coming soon, and broader support for other animals is also on the horizon as the nutrition engine expands.
IntelliBowl can factor in allergies, ingredient avoids, and health history as part of the recommendation logic. It is guidance, not diagnosis or prescription, so medical or therapeutic diet decisions should still go through your veterinarian.
Yes. All data you enter, including health conditions and medical history, is encrypted and never sold or shared with third parties. It is used only to generate your dog's recommendation. Nothing about your dog is passed to food brands, advertisers, or any outside party.
No. IntelliBowl is designed to help you narrow the field and understand the nutritional fit of different foods. It should complement veterinary advice, not replace it, especially for dogs with medical conditions or therapeutic diet needs.
