Generic advice treats most dogs the same.

Pointer treats each dog as unique.

We look at

  • Breed & mix
  • Age
  • Weight
  • Activity
  • Diet
  • Health history
  • Environment

Most medicine starts when something is wrong. Prognostic medicine starts with a forecast built from your dog's data, so you can act while there's still time to change it.

How it works

Thorough care,
done differently

  1. A dog sitting in tall grass in front of misty mountains Example forecast card: Mitral Valve Disease needs attention, Osteoarthritis good to know, Periodontal Disease worth watching

    Review your forecast

    See your dog's health forecast: which conditions actually matter, what each one means, and what to raise at your next vet visit.

  2. A cat looking up at a happy dog under the trees Example to-do list for the next visit: yearly heart scan, twice-yearly bloodwork, dental cleaning

    Get a plan you can follow

    Clear next steps you and your vet can work from to catch things early, or prevent them entirely.

  3. A dog leaping through a sunny meadow Example progress card: Mitral Valve Disease risk down 15%, marked Prevent

    Track progress over time

    Each test, visit, and change updates the forecast, so you can watch your dog’s health move in the right direction.

Built with 40+ veterinarians

Built on evidence,
not opinion

  • Grounded in science

    Unlike general advice, every recommendation traces back to peer-reviewed veterinary research and data from millions of dogs.

  • Increases confidence in care decisions

    No more guessing if you're doing it right. You'll know exactly what matters, what to do next, and why it's right for your dog.

  • Improves health outcomes

    Catching potential issues early changes what's possible. That means more good years with your pet and fewer surprises.

I think this is going to be like penicillin or washing hands before surgery.

Questions
pet-lovers ask

  • Not yet. We'd rather be excellent for dogs than mediocre for everyone. More species are coming.

  • Pointer uses your dog's medical record from your own veterinary hospital, plus breed, age, lifestyle, and environment, evaluated against health patterns from millions of dogs.

  • We use it to send you the link to your dog's profile and to let you know when the forecast changes. We never sell it or share it with anyone outside Pointer. See our privacy policy for the details.

  • That's fine. Tell us what you know, even if it's just "mixed breed", and Pointer still builds a forecast from your dog's age, weight, health history, and lifestyle. If you have DNA test results, add them and the forecast gets sharper.

  • Nothing. Pointer is provided free through partner veterinary hospitals.
