FAQ
Straight answers, no support maze.
StrawPaw is in development for iPhone. Here are the answers about the launch, barcode food checks, and the guides you can read today.
General
What is StrawPaw?
StrawPaw is an iPhone pet-care app in development by Indeply for people with dogs and cats. It brings together:
- Training — Personalized lessons for your pet
- Barcode food checks — Help spotting ingredients that can harm your dog or cat
- Care reminders — Vet visits, medication and grooming routines
- Walk logs — GPS routes and walk history
The app is not yet available on the App Store. You can already read our dog food guides, cat food guides and pet-care articles on this website.
Can I download StrawPaw from the App Store?
Not yet. StrawPaw is in development for iPhone and has no public App Store download at this stage.
The website previews the app and publishes guides you can read now. For questions about the launch, contact the StrawPaw team.
Will StrawPaw be free to use?
Launch pricing has not been announced. The app is not yet available on the App Store, and no app subscription is sold on this website.
The food, toxicity and pet-care guides on this website are free to read. App pricing and website access are separate.
Can I use the food safety guides without the app?
Yes. The website guides are free to read and do not require an app download or an account. Start with foods for dogs or foods for cats, or explore the dog toxicity guide and cat toxicity guide for plants, medications and household hazards.
The guides provide general information with linked sources. If your pet may have been exposed to something harmful, contact your veterinarian or an animal poison service rather than relying on a guide to decide whether treatment is needed.
Food Safety
How will the pet food barcode scanner work?
The scanner is designed to read a product barcode with your iPhone camera, look up the product and check its ingredient list for substances that can harm dogs or cats. It does not identify loose food from a photo.
An internet connection is required. Product records may be missing, incomplete or out of date, and a scanner result cannot confirm that a product is safe for your individual pet. Read the packaging and consult your veterinarian when you are unsure. The scanner is part of the upcoming app, not a tool available on this website.
Can StrawPaw replace advice from a veterinarian?
No. StrawPaw’s guides and planned scanner provide general educational information. They do not diagnose illness, prescribe treatment or assess an individual exposure.
If your pet has eaten or touched something potentially harmful, contact a veterinarian or an animal poison service promptly. Have the product or plant name, approximate amount, time of exposure and your pet’s weight ready. Our editorial information explains who prepares the website guides and how sources are presented.
Technical
Will StrawPaw be available on iPhone or Android?
StrawPaw is being developed for iPhone. The app is not yet available on the App Store. We will publish supported iOS versions with the release details.
There is no Android or iPad-optimized release announced. The website guides can be read in a browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
Does StrawPaw work offline?
No. StrawPaw requires an internet connection. Account data, pet profiles and care records sync online, and the barcode scanner needs a connection to look up products and analyze ingredients.
Offline use, including offline walk recording, is not supported.
