Your dog's profile: what we ask

Updated October 22, 2026

After you sign in, Puffy asks a few questions about your dog, one screen at a time:

  1. "Your pet's name".
  2. "Gender" and "Date of birth", on one screen.
  3. A photo: "Take a photo", "Upload a photo" or "Skip". We use it to create your dog's portrait (see "Your dog's photo and portrait").
  4. "Choose a breed" and "Choose a color". If the photo is accepted and Puffy recognizes the breed or the color confidently, that step is skipped.
  5. "We will finish and notify you". Tap "Enable notifications" to hear when the portrait is ready, or "Later".
  6. "We're almost done". Fill in your dog's profile, "Traits & habits", "Medical records" and "Pet photo" if you like. All of it is optional: tap "Continue" to go to the home screen.

Set the real date of birth. The date starts with a preset value, so change it to your dog's own. Life stage, human years and the heat card depend on it. After sign-up the date of birth can't be changed in your dog's profile. The last chance to fix it is the profile tile on the "We're almost done" screen.

Gender isn't preselected. If you skip it, you can choose it later in your dog's profile. Once chosen, it can't be changed.
