Why it matters

You shouldn't have to photograph poop
An app you operate is an app you have to remember: spot it, crouch, get a usable photo, do it again next week. InsightScoop's capture happens inside a yard cleanup you already booked, so the thing you have to remember is nothing.
Here is exactly who touches your dog's sample
An independent contractor photographs it during the visit, through the same in-app capture flow every time. A model classifies color, consistency and content. No technician interprets it, no veterinarian has reviewed the method, and none of it is a diagnosis.
One subscription instead of two things to manage
A cleanup service and a separate tracking app are two habits, two bills and two places the history lives. InsightScoop bundles them, so the yard gets cleaned and the log gets written on the same visit. It is not care, and it does not replace your vet.

Want the log written for you?

Skip the DIY photo sessions. The capture happens on a cleanup visit you already booked, and the log is yours to bring to your vet.

Scooping service is a Twin Cities Metro beta running through the Spring 2027 launch. The app is free for one dog anywhere in the US.

Questions

What people ask when they compare

3C analysis
What is 3C stool analysis?3C stands for Color, Consistency, and Content: the three key indicators of dog stool health. Our AI analyzes a photo of each stool taken during the visit and generates a detailed poop report for your dog, delivered via your recap link. It helps you spot changes in diet or health early without having to inspect yourself.
Health notes
What are the stool health notes?Think of it as a poop report for your dog: simple notes covering color, consistency, and content, delivered in your recap link after every visit. It helps you spot changes over time without inspecting anything yourself.
Alerts
Do you send constant alerts?No. You get a recap link after service. It's designed to be low-noise. Check it when you want.
Multiple dogs
How does this work with multiple dogs?Today the recap is yard-based: with multiple dogs we can't yet attribute a specific note to a specific dog, but you still get a clean record of what was seen that week. Camera-based per-dog identification belongs to the Smart Yard pilot, which is 2027 at the earliest, so there is a waitlist rather than a date.
Price factors
How does pricing work?Pricing is based on dogs, yard size, and cadence. Every plan includes consistent scooping plus a recap link with stool health notes.
Contracts
Do I need to sign a contract?No contracts. You can pause, skip, or cancel anytime. We just ask for a quick heads up so we can update your route.
Service areas
What areas do you serve?Scooping service is a Twin Cities beta today, capped at 50 yards, with the wider launch planned for Spring 2027. Coverage grows through our scooper marketplace: check /city for every live and upcoming city. Once an area hits minimum viable density (local scoopers + customer demand), it goes live. Join the waitlist to help your city launch sooner!
