NUTRITION & FOOD TRACKING

A familiar routine.
Thoughtfully kept details.

What they eat, when they eat and the instructions for their sitter. Keep your pet’s routine together and bring a clearer history to their veterinarian.

Start with their food

THREE STEPS IN THE APP

Make the next meal clearer.

  1. 01

    Add the food you use.

    Choose your pet → Nutrition → Add food. Enter the brand, recipe and food type manually.

  2. 02

    Write down the routine.

    Record the portion and unit, feeding frequency, times and sitter instructions. Use the routine you have agreed with your veterinarian.

  3. 03

    Keep a feeding history.

    Owners and guardians can mark a meal fed, review its time, edit a feeding or undo an entry. View Only members read the plan.

For their sitter, too.

Share the profile with the appropriate role: a Guardian can manage feedings; View Only lets someone read instructions. Food details are not shown by scanning the tag.

The everyday record.

Food profiles, portions you enter, notes, routines and basic feeding history. These core tools do not require Pro when Nutrition is available in your app.

PRO · BETA

Help organizing questions.

AI Nutrition is a separate feature whose availability is controlled in the app. It helps organize information and questions; it does not choose diets or prescribe portions.

Food & routine

How do I add my pet’s food?

Open Driyu, choose your pet, and go to the Nutrition section. Add a food profile with the brand and type, set the feeding times and routine, and add portion notes. Log meals as your pet is fed, and keep food notes for anything special.

How does Nutrition & Food Tracking work?

You build a food profile and feeding routine for each pet, then log meals over time so a feeding history builds up. Owners and guardians can edit the plan and log meals. A sitter with View Only access can read the feeding instructions but cannot edit or log meals. Access follows the role you grant, not the person’s job title.

What details should I add?

Helpful details include: the current food brand and type (dry, wet, fresh, raw); portion amount and how many meals per day; treat frequency; any allergies or sensitivities; anything your vet recommended; recent weight gain or loss; and your goal — maintain, lose weight, gain weight, transition food, or simply keep a clear history.

Free & AI Nutrition

What is free, and what is Pro / AI?

The food profile, food log, food notes, feeding routine, and basic feeding history are free for every pet. The AI Nutrition Assistant is a Pro Beta add-on that helps you organize nutrition questions and general guidance from the food information you have logged. Availability depends on what is enabled in the app; Pro does not guarantee that AI Nutrition is available in every account.

How does AI Nutrition work, and is it veterinary advice?

No, it is not veterinary advice. The AI Nutrition Assistant (Pro Beta) uses the food details you have logged to help you organize questions and general guidance to discuss with your vet. It does not diagnose, treat, prescribe a diet or portion, or replace your veterinarian. This guide does not run an AI session.

Your veterinary conversation

Who is Nutrition for?

Any pet owner can use a feeding record: for a puppy or kitten, a senior pet, shared household care, or a routine your vet has recommended for weight, allergies or sensitivities. The record keeps your instructions together; it does not select a diet.

How can Nutrition help with healthy weight?

Food and weight records help you bring a clearer history to your veterinarian. WSAVA recommends nutrition plans tailored to each pet and reviewed with the veterinary team. Recording a meal or weight does not determine an ideal weight or prescribe a diet.

When should I contact my veterinarian?

Contact your veterinarian for any medical concern, food allergy, chronic condition, sudden change in appetite or weight, or before a weight-loss plan, weight-gain plan, or major diet change. Good nutrition is individual — the WSAVA Global Nutrition Guidelines emphasize a feeding plan tailored to each pet and reviewed with your veterinary team. Driyu helps you keep the records to bring to that conversation.

Gather food, portions, treats, appetite notes, known allergies and weight changes. Driyu organizes what you record; your veterinarian guides diet and weight decisions.
