About Pupkeeper

Last updated: 12 October 2026

Pupkeeper is an all-in-one dog and puppy care app for iPhone and Android, from Peerware Ltd, United Kingdom. At its heart is a safety guide: when your dog eats or touches something it shouldn't, Pupkeeper tells you in seconds whether it's dangerous, what to do now and which signs to watch for. The guide works offline.

The app brings together:

• Can my dog eat it? The safety guide, dose checks for chocolate, xylitol, onion, garlic, ibuprofen, naproxen and paracetamol (acetaminophen), and photo and label checks.
• Health: health records, vaccines, medicines and reminders.
• Food: a feeding schedule and a daily calorie guide.
• Emergency help: pet poison lines for your country, emergency vets near you and first aid.
• Walks and places: a walk check, dog-friendly places nearby and a street-dog feeding map.
• Lost dog, sitters and travel: a lost-dog QR tag and poster, a sitter care sheet and a pet travel checklist.

How the guide is written

Every entry is written from veterinary and poison-control sources: Pet Poison Helpline, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, the Merck Veterinary Manual, VCA Animal Hospitals, the American Kennel Club (AKC), PDSA, the RSPCA, Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine, and government agencies such as the US FDA and CDC.

Every entry lists its sources, so you can read the original pages yourself. The guide was last reviewed on 9 October 2026.

How dose checks work

For chocolate, xylitol, onion, garlic, ibuprofen, naproxen and paracetamol (acetaminophen), Pupkeeper estimates how much your dog had for its body weight (in mg per kg, or g per kg for onion and garlic). It compares that with the thresholds published in veterinary references, mainly the Merck Veterinary Manual, and cites the source with every result.

A result below the lowest published threshold is never called "safe". Dogs vary, so Pupkeeper still suggests calling your vet if you're unsure or your dog seems unwell.

The limits

• Pupkeeper is not a vet. It gives general information, and it can't examine your dog or make a diagnosis.
• Dose checks are estimates based on published thresholds, and dogs vary.
• The AI photo and label checks can be wrong.
• We can't guarantee the guide is complete or current, which is why every entry lists its sources.

If your dog seems unwell, or you're not sure, call your vet or a pet poison line.
