I’m sure your question was rhetorical and sarcastic (that the app exists makes me sick).

It absolutely is not. AI counts as a medical device: it’s used to help diagnose and inform medical treatments. However, this is a loophole, because (quoting fda.gov):

> FDA does have regulatory oversight over devices intended for animal use …. Pre-market Approval is Not Required: The FDA does not require submission of a 510(k), PMA, or any pre-market approval for devices intended for animal use.

The FDA will only step in after complaints or enough pets start dying.
