Google Lens can now identify your dog's breed

Has Google gone to the dogs? We think so... but in a nice way!

No more wondering if you have a scuffy mutt or a pure breed.  According to Google Lens (maybe a reinvention of Google Glass?), this application will give you the exact (possible) breed that you have.  It all sounds wonderful, but having looked into the matter we found some interesting facts of this new feature on Google.

According to Google you can download Google Photos app and Identify popular breeds with Google Lens

"Recently, we made Google Lens preview available in Google Photos across Android and iOS. Now, when you take a photo of an animal — like a cute cat or dog—you can use Lens to help identify its breed and get more information."

 

We did a quick test with our own scruffy wire fox terrier and a mixed breed dog we found on Google search.

The results were interesting, and while we believe this is fantastic technology, it will still need to be tweaked a little before we can "Google a Dog or Cat Breed" with confidence.

 

We took a quick look at our rescue cat too

She has some Siamese in her and the outcome was closely more accurate.

PetHealthcare will give them a 3 out of 5 for their fantastic feature and effort and we look forward to hopefully seeing the improved version!

 

Try it for yourself and let us know what you think about the Google Lens for your pet identification too.
