Quick answer

Use a clear photo where the pet face, body posture, and scene context are visible. Avoid dark, blurry, or heavily cropped images.

What to observe

Log the cue combination, not only the headline cue.

  • Include the whole body when possible.
  • Keep lighting clear enough to see eyes, ears, posture, and tail.
  • Capture the scene context without forcing interaction.

Journal prompt

After the check-in, add notes about what happened before and after the photo.

FAQ

Keep the boundary attached to the answer.

Can a blurry photo still work?

It may produce a lower-confidence result. The confidence reason should make that limitation clear.
