“Yeah. So it's going back to what the dog trainer told me about using, having high protein content and how for some dogs, particularly young dogs, and particularly those that are quite energetic anyway, it just adds to a hyper hyperactivity, which I definitely found with my dog. So I've used the Google summary feature to sort of ask which dog food which dry dog foods have 20% protein, and that's helped me narrow down which ones are better for him.”

“Yes, they specifically asked him what breed it was, how old he was, and everything. And then they asked him, I don't know, whether he had any weight issues. And then they really—I thought it was good that they asked him these individual questions and then made a decision based on that.”

“So for example as I mentioned before my oldest dog has trouble with anal glands, so I wanted to include more fibre into her diet instead of changing the dog food I asked what I could add to the dog food which would help and a suggestion was rolled oats so I do add that now and peas, to the dog food and that has helped. So that is a situation that has occurred and, just advice really.”

“Yes. I have asked ChatGPT about the different stages of my dog's life. So when she was a puppy, how often I should feed her, what sort of things I should be looking for with dog food, what vitamins and minerals were essential.”

“So one of my dogs has got trouble with anal glands and I wanted to know what I could add to the food to help with that because I wanted to add more fibre and what kind of things could I add to that. I also do check as well so if I'm eating something and I've got something to spare, for example if a tomato, can a dog eat a tomato, I always make sure I check and I use chat GPT to check those, and also just general advice really. So if I, my oldest dog she's got a few kind of lumps on her so I do ask about that. So general health as well. So it's mainly those three things.”

“I use ChatGPT a lot. I write to it a lot. I give it all the information I have about myself that I want to share about my dog. And then he always helps me with the products, too. Even if I tell him that I want certain things in my product, for example, that it should have less grain, he usually only embellishes things for me that have less grain. Of course, you still have to check for yourself whether these products actually meet your expectations, because often the wrong things come across. But I'd say that's not the norm.”

“ChatGTP and Google Gemini. I think I mainly use it with the dogs when they're ill and just finding out what I can feed them or what I shouldn't and stay away from. And I also have a couple of chickens, and at times, they've been really unwell. So I've used it for a diet with them of what I can do to kinda get them back on track.”

“I noticed that in a recent delivery, his food just appeared a little bit different in texture. And, also, it seems to make his breath smell even though I thought it was the same food. It does appear to be the same food, but I used to to see whether they had made any changes to the recipes or anything like that or what smelly breath might indicate. And it allowed me to explore a range of options before speaking to my vet if it became an ongoing issue.”

“Yes, that was a while ago, but I once asked which additives shouldn't be included, or what the ratio should be, what a good ratio is, protein, vitamins and things like that.”

“It didn't give me a brand as such, but it gave me some ingredients to look for like probiotics. So that definitely made me feel more confident and definitely influenced my decision to get a dog food with probiotics for her.”

“For my dog, basically, I simply photographed the product I got, and TEDP literally gave me all the ingredients the product has and how much protein it has, how much carbs it has, and everything I literally need.”
