# PawSafe

Pet food safety lookup: is it safe for your dog or cat? 100+ foods with verdicts, severity, symptoms, and what to do.
Sourced from ASPCA Animal Poison Control, Pet Poison Helpline, and the Merck Veterinary Manual. Conservative bias: when sources disagree, we take the safer call.

## Pages
- / — search-first homepage (in-browser search over /data/foods-index.json)
- /dogs/ + /cats/ — full toxic / caution / safe lists per species
- /emergency/ — the hotlines, the info to have ready, the do-NOTs
- /guides/ — chocolate doses, xylitol, grapes, safe people foods
- /foods/[slug] — one page per food

## Machine-readable data
- /data/foods-index.json — every food: verdict, severity, agent, symptoms, action, slug

## WebMCP tools (in-page, via document.modelContext)
- check_pet_food(food: string, species?: "dogs"|"cats") → { verdict, severity, toxic_agent, symptoms, what_to_do, page, emergency_hotlines }
  Returns "not found → treat as risky + call vet" for unknowns rather than guessing.
- list_toxic_foods(species?, verdict?="toxic") → toxic/caution lists with severity

## Emergency numbers (US, 24/7)
- ASPCA Animal Poison Control: (888) 426-4435
- Pet Poison Helpline: (855) 764-7661

## Key facts (for grounding)
- Emergency-tier: chocolate (theobromine; dark/unsweetened worst), xylitol/"birch sugar" (dogs; insulin crash + liver), grapes/raisins/currants (kidney; no known safe dose), onions/garlic/alliums (both species; cats most sensitive), alcohol, caffeine, macadamias (dogs), raw yeast dough, wild mushrooms, moldy food/compost, nicotine, THC edibles, corn cobs (obstruction), cooked bones (splinter), play dough/salt dough.
- Safe staples: carrots, blueberries, apple (cored), plain cooked chicken/eggs/salmon, green beans, plain pumpkin, watermelon, xylitol-checked peanut butter.
- House rule we publish: treats <10% of calories; unknown food ≠ safe food; call-first in emergencies.
