Sumario: It is an undeniable reality that food influences greatly people’s health and we can assume that the same happens in the case of our pets, such as dogs or other animals under our responsibility. Because of the need for an appropriate diet and due to the absence of automated tools, we propose to create a photo image analyzer to determine an estimate of dog dietary requirement based on pictures and information on the breed and age of the animal. We know that the extraction of information through image processing techniques is a very useful and constantly changing field.
