FAQ
When does Bark AI launch?
Q3 2026 on iOS and Android. Early-bird signups are first in line.
Is the AI a replacement for my vet?
No. It's a triage tool โ it helps you decide how urgently to seek care and what to watch for. It won't diagnose conditions, recommend medications, or replace a licensed veterinarian. In a clear emergency, go now.
How is this different from other pet apps?
Most apps either lock core features behind a paywall, bury the cancel button, or sell your data to insurers. We don't do any of those. The free tier is the whole app. Cancel is 2 taps. Data is yours โ you can export everything as JSON or delete your account entirely in a week.
Which countries work?
At launch, vaccination schedules are tuned for the US, UK, India, UAE, Canada, and Australia. The app works globally (other countries default to WSAVA guidelines); we'll add localised schedules for more countries over the first few releases.
Does AI triage work for all species?
v1 supports dogs and cats only. Rabbits, birds, reptiles, and small mammals are on the roadmap but not guaranteed at launch โ we'd rather ship great dog and cat care first.
How do you make money if the core is free?
Premium subscriptions ($2.99/mo). Optional affiliate revenue on insurance comparisons (disclosed on every listing). No ads. No data sales.
Is my data private?
Yes. We don't track you across other apps, we don't use advertising IDs, and we never sell data. Your pet health records, photos, and AI triage history are yours โ delete your account and we hard-purge everything in 7 days. See our privacy policy and terms.
Can I use Bark AI on the web?
v1 is iOS + Android. A web companion is on the roadmap.
