Gait check
Capture a change in movement and keep the findings in your pet’s record.
A limp that vanishes at the clinic is a classic. Film it when it happens.
Film side-on
A few metres of steady walking, filmed from the side in decent light. Five to ten seconds is plenty. Keep one animal’s whole body and all paws in view, with the camera steady at body height. Do not make an animal walk if it is painful or unable to stand.

Petus extracts six still frames from your clip and reads them in time order. The original video stays on your device; keep it to show your vet, because six images cannot show every part of a stride.

You receive visible findings and what to do next. When the images support it, Petus may give a visual lameness grade from 0 to 5. Otherwise it explains the uncertainty or asks for a clearer clip.
The findings are saved in your pet’s record. A vet with permission to view the relevant history can review the assessment, urgency and uncertainty alongside the rest of that history.
Landmark tracking is a separate, optional step. When it runs successfully, the result identifies estimated 2D body landmarks and the frames used. These are not verified joint centres, measurements of force, or a diagnosis. A visual assessment can still be returned when tracking is unavailable; it will not claim that measurements were made.
Sudden inability to stand, dragging or knuckling paws, marked loss of balance, or severe pain needs urgent veterinary assessment. Do not wait for a video result.
