Get Omelo. Free, in 30 seconds.
AI symptom triage, vet-reviewed, for dogs and cats. iOS and Android.
Free. No credit card. Available worldwide.
Not a chatbot. A clinical product.
Three things make Omelo a precision pet healthcare app rather than a smart chat that happens to talk about pets.
Pathway Library
500+ veterinary decision pathways authored with licensed veterinary advisors. Each case is routed to the right pathway, so the reasoning follows clinical logic instead of guessing.
Personal Baseline
Omelo learns your specific pet over time. Changes are measured against this animal's own history, not a generic database, so it catches what is unusual for your pet.
Safety Layer
Emergency escalation is enforced before any answer is written. Red flags escalate regardless of phrasing, and toxicology is never left to model judgment. This is the structural difference from a general chatbot.
Built for pet parents, not clinics

Is it safe to trust an AI app with your pet?
Only if it shows its work. Omelo's clinical reasoning is reviewed by a licensed veterinarian, its decision pathways are authored with veterinary advisors, and its Safety Layer enforces emergency escalation for red flags and toxicology no matter how a question is phrased.
It never claims to diagnose or prescribe. Diagnosis and treatment stay with your vet. Omelo's job is to get you to the right level of care, faster. Read more about the clinical reasoning architecture or the veterinary research behind it.
Is Omelo an AI vet for dogs and cats?
Omelo is often called an AI vet, but more precisely it is AI symptom triage reviewed by a licensed veterinarian. It helps you decide whether a symptom is an emergency, a vet visit, or something to watch at home. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your vet. The free AI triage is available everywhere; a paid live human vet consultation is available in India.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI pet health app in 2026?
For most pet parents, Omelo. It is free, gives AI symptom triage in about 30 seconds, routes each case through vet-authored decision pathways, and tracks your specific pet over time through a personal baseline. The important distinction in 2026 is who the app is built for: most tools that rank for 'AI vet app' are actually AI scribes built for veterinary clinics, not for pet parents at home. Omelo is built for the pet parent.
Is there a free AI pet health app?
Yes. Omelo is free to start on iOS and Android, with AI symptom triage, daily health check-ins, a recent health record, and vaccination tracking, and no card required. Omelo Plus is a paid tier for depth (unlimited chat and scans, full health history and trends, multiple pets), and a paid live-human-vet tier exists for cases that need a real consultation. Emergency and urgent triage is free and never gated.
How is an AI pet health app different from asking ChatGPT?
General AI chatbots are strong general reasoners but they are not built for pet health. They have no veterinary decision pathways, no memory of your specific pet, no enforced emergency escalation, and no vet review of their advice patterns. Omelo runs each case through vet-authored pathways, measures changes against your pet's own baseline, and has a Safety Layer that forces emergency escalation the model cannot override. It is a purpose-built clinical product, not a general chat.
Can an AI pet health app replace a vet?
No, and Omelo does not try to. The job of AI symptom triage is to answer one question well: is this an emergency, a same-day vet visit, or something to watch at home. Diagnosis and treatment belong with a licensed veterinarian. Omelo is built to get you to the right level of care faster, not to replace the vet.
Is it safe to trust an AI app with my pet's health?
Trust the ones that show their work. Omelo's clinical reasoning is reviewed by a licensed veterinarian, its decision pathways are authored with veterinary advisors, and its Safety Layer enforces emergency escalation for red flags and toxicology regardless of how a question is phrased. It never claims to diagnose or prescribe. Avoid any app that promises to replace your vet or hides its reasoning behind a black-box chatbot.
Does the AI pet health app work for both dogs and cats?
Yes. Omelo covers dogs and cats with species-specific reasoning, including the cat-specific rules that generalist tools miss, such as the 24-hour appetite rule for cats at risk of hepatic lipidosis. It includes 280+ breed-specific guides so the triage accounts for your pet's breed risk profile.
Is there an AI vet for dogs and cats?
Yes. Omelo is an AI vet for dogs and cats in the practical sense: it reads your pet's symptoms, routes the case through vet-authored decision pathways, and tells you whether to watch at home, book a vet, or treat it as an emergency. It is vet-reviewed triage, not a licensed veterinarian, so it never diagnoses or prescribes. The AI triage is free on iOS and Android. A paid live human vet consultation is available in India.
Is Omelo an AI veterinarian?
Not exactly, and the distinction matters. A veterinarian is a licensed professional who can examine, diagnose, prescribe, and treat. Omelo is an AI veterinary assistant for pet parents: it gives instant, vet-reviewed symptom triage so you know how urgent something is and when to get real care. Think of it as the AI that helps you decide whether and when to see the vet, not the vet itself. Diagnosis and treatment stay with a licensed veterinarian.
Can I use ChatGPT as a vet for my pet?
You can ask ChatGPT about pet symptoms, but it is a general chatbot, not a vet tool. It has no veterinary decision pathways, no memory of your specific pet, no enforced emergency escalation, and no vet review of its answers, so it can miss red flags or state wrong medication doses with confidence. Omelo is the purpose-built alternative: an AI vet for pets whose reasoning is authored and reviewed by a licensed veterinarian, with a Safety Layer that forces emergency escalation. For diagnosis or treatment, always see a licensed vet.
