General Terms and Conditions of Use

DoggoMeal is a digital service around dog nutrition, recipes, videos, Doggopedia, community and dog profiles.

These terms apply to the use of all digital surfaces offered by DoggoMeal, unless supplementary platform terms or mandatory statutory provisions take precedence in the individual case.

A personal DoggoMeal account is required for essential features. You are responsible for ensuring that your details are accurate, up to date and complete.

You must be at least 16 years old to use DoggoMeal. If the minimum age for valid consent under data protection law is higher in your country, that higher age applies. Minors require the consent of their legal guardians.

You must protect your login credentials carefully and keep access to your account within your area of responsibility. Please inform us immediately if you suspect misuse or unauthorised access.

DoggoMeal offers in particular personalised recipes, nutrition and knowledge content, community features, dog profiles and reminders.

The specific range of features may vary depending on the platform, country, technical rollout and current state of the product.

Using DoggoMeal via the website, the iOS app and the Android app is free of charge. Since 17 October 2026, we no longer offer subscriptions, free trials or in-app purchases; every account has access to all features offered.

Older app versions may still contain purchase or subscription screens. No products are offered through them any more, and no purchase is required to use DoggoMeal.

For a subscription taken out through the Apple App Store or Google Play before 17 October 2026, the terms of the respective store continue to apply until it ends. The respective platform is your contractual partner for that purchase; renewal, cancellation, any right of withdrawal and refunds are governed exclusively by the terms of Apple or Google. DoggoMeal can neither cancel store subscriptions on your behalf nor refund payments.

As DoggoMeal can be used in full without a subscription, you can cancel such a subscription at any time without losing any features.

Should DoggoMeal introduce paid offers again in the future, they will only apply if you conclude them separately. You will receive the relevant information on price, term, cancellation and, where applicable, withdrawal before the contract is concluded.

The free user relationship runs for an indefinite period and ends when you delete your account or we terminate the user relationship in accordance with these terms.

You cancel a subscription taken out earlier through the Apple App Store or Google Play via the subscription management of the respective platform (see section 4). Deleting your DoggoMeal account does not automatically end such a subscription.

We may restrict, suspend or terminate accounts or individual features for good cause, in particular in the event of misuse, serious breaches of duty, legal violations or security risks.

If you publish or upload content on DoggoMeal – for example profile texts, images, posts, comments or messages – you remain responsible for that content.

Insofar as you post content on DoggoMeal, you grant us the non-exclusive rights to store this content, process it technically, display it within DoggoMeal, reproduce it for the product function and process it to the extent necessary for moderation, abuse prevention, support and data backup.

Public or community-wide shared content may be visible to other DoggoMeal users in accordance with your visibility settings.

DoggoMeal may only be used within the scope of the intended features. In particular, technical attacks, scraping, circumvention of protective mechanisms, abusive bulk actions, identity deception and use for the distribution of unlawful content are not permitted.

DoggoMeal provides information, experience, recipe ideas and guidance around dog nutrition.

This content does not replace an individual veterinary diagnosis, treatment or therapy. In the case of illnesses, allergies, intolerances or other health-related particularities, you should seek veterinary advice.

DoggoMeal continuously develops the platform further. Features, content, designs, integrations and technical processes may be adjusted, extended, restricted or changed.

We strive for high availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted accessibility at all times. Maintenance, security measures, technical faults or dependencies on third-party providers may lead to temporary restrictions.

We are liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and in other cases of mandatory statutory liability.

In the event of a slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations, we are liable only for the typical, foreseeable damage. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.

Details on the processing of personal data can be found in our privacy policy at doggomeal.de/en/datenschutz and in the app-specific privacy policies for iOS (doggomeal.de/en/datenschutz-app) and Android (doggomeal.de/en/datenschutz-android).

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, insofar as mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence do not conflict with this.

For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply. If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is Kassel, Germany, insofar as legally permissible.

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Section 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act, VSBG).

These terms were drawn up in German. This English version is a convenience translation; the German version at doggomeal.de/agb is binding and prevails in case of any discrepancy.
