How we got this

Not veterinary advice. Last reviewed:

The Western sign comes from the birth date, using the usual tropical sun-sign dates (for example, Leo is July 23 to August 22). Signs that start on the 19th to 23rd can shift by a day in some years; we use one fixed set of dates. The Chinese animal and element come from the year, but the Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, between January 21 and February 20, so a dog born before it belongs to the year before. The reading checks every date from 1990 to 2040 against Chinese New Year dates from the Hong Kong Observatory; the table on the hub shows recent years.

The readings, favorite toys and nap spots are written by our team in a dog’s point of view, for fun. Astrology has no scientific evidence behind it, for people or for dogs: your dog’s personality comes from breed, history, training and who they are. Compatibility is a simple, playful rule: same sign, same element, opposite sign, friendly elements (fire and air, earth and water) or “learning from each other”. Nothing is stored or sent: the reading runs on your device.
