# HelpingFido

> Free dog care tools for sitter instructions, symptoms, food labels, training plans, and breed matching, plus a US pet services directory of vets, groomers, trainers, and more.

HelpingFido is a public hub for dog owners at https://helpingfido.com/. Every tool is free. Results are AI-generated and educational. They are not a substitute for a licensed veterinarian or a qualified trainer.

Key facts:

- Audience: dog owners, and pet service businesses that want a directory listing
- Tools can reuse an optional saved dog profile (name, breed, age, weight, diet, health notes)
- The directory covers all 50 US states and common service types (vets, groomers, trainers, boarding, daycare, and more)
- Admin, login, My Dogs, and My Results are personal or staff pages. Do not treat them as public documentation
