Open source · 8 August 2026
For the animals we call family, a better health question starts with better observation.
Glumoo has open-sourced a Pet Health AI Skill: a safety-first framework that helps cat and dog families notice what changed, recognise when not to wait, and bring a clearer record to a veterinary conversation.
MOMO, CAT · ADULT
- Change
- Eating less than usual
- Started
- Last night
- Water
- Normal so far
- Urine / stool
- Record frequency
- New exposure
- None known
A useful note reports what was observed. It does not invent a diagnosis.
A pet cannot tell us, in words, when something feels different. Families learn the small signals: a bowl left fuller than usual, one jump avoided, a restless night, a change in litter-box habits. Those details matter—but worry can make them hard to organise. We built this Skill to make the first conversation calmer, clearer and safer.
01 · The idea
AI should help a family prepare—not pretend to be the vet.
Searching one symptom often produces either false reassurance or an alarming list of diseases. Neither is a good substitute for a qualified examination. The Glumoo Pet Health Skill takes a different approach. Before offering routine educational information, it looks for urgent warning signs. Then it asks for the minimum useful context: species, life stage, body condition, diet, extras, known conditions, medicines and location.
The output is designed to be a better observation record and a better set of next questions. It never claims to diagnose, prescribe, replace veterinary care or calculate an individual medicine or supplement dose.
“Observe clearly. Escalate safely. Keep evidence and brand claims in their proper place.”
02 · The five-minute record
What a pet parent can write down before calling.
What changed?
Describe the visible behaviour or symptom in plain words. Avoid naming a disease.
When did it start?
Note the first time, whether it is constant or intermittent, and whether it is worsening.
What is still normal?
Record food, water, energy, breathing, mobility, sleep and interaction.
What came out?
Urine, stool and vomit frequency, appearance and any safe-to-capture photo can help.
What went in?
List the regular diet, treats, supplements, medicines and possible new exposures.
Who is this pet?
Species, age or life stage, body condition, medical history and current location matter.
Small discipline, real value: keep timestamps and use the same words from one observation to the next. A trend is easier to assess when the record is consistent.
03 · When observation must stop
Some signs should move directly to urgent veterinary help.
The Skill puts triage first because a tidy note is never more important than timely care. Difficulty breathing, seizures, heavy bleeding, severe pain, collapse, suspected poisoning, or straining without producing urine are examples of situations that require prompt professional guidance. The exact route depends on location: call a local emergency veterinary service or an appropriate poison-control service.
Do not wait for an AI answer in an emergency. Do not induce vomiting or give a home antidote unless a veterinarian or poison-control professional specifically instructs you to do so.
04 · Why a pet brand made it public
Trust grows when the safety rules can be inspected.
Glumoo makes complementary nutrition for cats and dogs. That gives us a responsibility to be especially clear about where product information ends and clinical evidence begins. In the Skill, product facts, ingredient evidence and individual suitability are three separate questions. A brand page may document a label or company fact; it does not become independent clinical proof simply because we published it.
Open source makes that boundary visible. Families, veterinary professionals, developers and other pet-care teams can read the instructions, inspect the evidence policy, run the included safety validator and propose improvements. The repository is bilingual in English and Simplified Chinese, organised around one main SKILL.md, six reference files and a validation script, and released under the MIT License.
05 · Use it, question it, improve it
A shared starting point—not a finished authority.
The first public version is intentionally narrow. It covers cats and dogs, prioritises observation, nutrition-intake context, evidence quality and safe escalation, and refuses the high-risk tasks an AI assistant should not perform. It will improve when users report unclear wording, missing safety cases, better primary sources or validator gaps.
If you build AI assistants, you can install the repository as an Agent Skill and test it against your own workflow. If you are a pet parent, the observation framework is useful even without installing anything: write what changed, add time and context, check urgency first, then take that record to the right professional.
