Roadmap and design partners

These capabilities are in development. None has a release date or a published price, and we'd rather tell you that than promise one. Everything on this page could change.

Capability	State	What it would do
Muscle condition score	Beta: callable, returns a flag, not yet a score	Muscle mass over the spine, shoulders and hips, to spot muscle loss
Dental and gum health	In development	Tartar, gum colour and signs of periodontal disease from a photo of the mouth
Gait analysis	Collecting training data	Lameness and stiffness from a short walking video
Capillary refill time	In development	Circulation, from a video of the gum being pressed

Muscle condition score (beta)

curl -X POST -H "x-api-key: YOUR-API-KEY" https://api.thedogapi.com/v1/pets/{pet_id}/muscle-condition-score

It works on the same photos as body condition. Today it returns a muscle-loss flag and the reasons behind it, not a graded score:

{
  "wasting_risk_flag": false,
  "reasons": "Muscle over the spine and hips looks even, with no visible hollowing.",
  "generated_at": "2026-09-30T02:11:04.000Z"
}

Results are not reviewed by a vet, so treat them as experimental and don't show them to owners as a finding. Switch it off (muscle_condition) if you don't want it callable on your account.

Design partners

If one of these matters to your product, you can work with us on it as a design partner. That means:

• You see each model before general release.
• Your feedback shapes what it measures and how the result is presented.
• You hear first when it's ready, along with its measured accuracy and its price.

It doesn't mean a committed date. Get in touch to talk about it.
