How KiLoki answers your pet health questions.

What KiLoki uses

Each answer is shaped by the pet profile you share and the details of your question:

Species

Dogs and cats differ in how they process food, medications and lab values, so answers start there.

Breed

Some breeds have known tendencies, such as skin allergies in Boxers or kidney concerns in certain cats, which shape what is worth watching.

Age

A puppy or kitten, an adult and a senior pet can show the same sign for different reasons.

Weight

Weight and recent changes in it add context to appetite, energy, joint and metabolic questions.

Health condition and your question

What you describe, including symptoms, timing and known conditions, plus any lab values you upload or paste.

What every answer includes

• An urgency banner that says whether the situation looks like it needs a vet now, soon, or can be monitored.
• A plain-English summary of what the question or lab values may point to.
• A conventional view: how a veterinarian would typically investigate and treat it.
• A holistic view: diet, environment, stress and supportive care to discuss alongside the vet's plan.
• Questions to ask your vet, so your next visit is focused and productive.

How our content is reviewed

Our condition, breed, lab value and learn guides are written from established veterinary references, which are listed on each page. Guides are kept out of search results until a licensed veterinarian has reviewed them; once reviewed, the page shows the reviewer's name, credentials and review date. KiLoki does not currently have a veterinary reviewer on staff, so all guides are marked as awaiting review.

Assistant answers are generated by AI in real time. They follow fixed safety rules: no diagnoses, no medication or supplement dosing, and a clear prompt to see a vet when signs could be urgent.

Its limits

• KiLoki is educational support, not a diagnosis or a substitute for a veterinary exam.
• It cannot see, touch or examine your pet, and it only knows what you tell it.
• AI can be wrong or miss context. Treat answers as a starting point for a conversation with your vet.
• Lab report reading depends on image quality; always check values against your original report.
• In an emergency, such as trouble breathing, collapse, seizures or suspected poisoning, contact a veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately.
