When to see a veterinarian
Always consult a licensed veterinarian for:
- Any new or unexplained symptom that concerns you
- Changes in appetite, weight, water intake, or elimination habits
- Lethargy that doesn’t resolve in 24 hours
- Coughing, vomiting, or diarrhea that persists or worsens
- Lameness, limping, or signs of pain
- Lumps, growths, or skin changes
- Behavioral changes that come on suddenly (sudden behavioral shifts are often medical)
- Annual wellness exams and vaccinations
- Anything your gut tells you isn’t right — you know your dog best
When to see a behaviorist or qualified trainer
For complex behavioral issues, work with a certified professional. mypooch.ai can complement but not replace in-person work for:
- Aggression toward people or other animals
- Bite history of any kind
- Severe separation anxiety
- Resource guarding that escalates
- Fear or phobia that doesn’t improve with management
Look for credentials like IAABC, CCPDT, ACVB, or CDBC. Find a certified Pro through the mypooch.ai Pro Directory or organizations like the IAABC and CCPDT.
AI is not infallible
The AI underlying mypooch.ai is trained on dog behavior and care patterns. It can make mistakes. It can misread context. It can miss things a trained professional would catch.
Treat AI output as one input among many. Combine it with your own observation, your dog’s history, and — for anything medical — a licensed veterinarian’s judgment.
Use of recommendations
Exercise plans, drills, diet suggestions, and product recommendations from mypooch.ai are general guidance based on your dog’s profile, not prescriptions. Adjust based on your dog’s real-time response. If something causes pain, fear, or harm, stop and consult a professional.
By using mypooch.ai
You acknowledge that:
- The Service does not provide veterinary or medical advice
- You will not rely on the Service for emergency or diagnostic decisions
- You will consult a licensed veterinarian for medical concerns
- mypooch.ai is not liable for outcomes based on actions you take from AI output (see Terms of Service)
If you ever have a question about whether something is an emergency: assume it is, and call your vet. A 5-minute phone consult is always cheaper than a regret you can’t undo.
