• estimate_dog_insurance_cost

  Simulates thousands of possible lifetimes for a U.S. dog of the given breed and age (breed health-registry data + U.S. vet cost ranges adjusted to ZIP code) and returns expected vet costs, the chance of a year with bills above the owner's emergency savings, the plan structure that keeps that risk under 5%, and a modeled monthly premium (benchmark, not a quote). Use when a user asks whether pet insurance is worth it for their dog, how much vet care or insurance costs for a breed, or how deductible and reimbursement levels change their risk. Present results as a statistical estimate, not as advice: do not tell the user to buy insurance or that 'the model suggests/recommends' a policy; say what the numbers show and leave the decision to the user. Always give the user the reportUrl link (full report with price-by-age chart and all 27 plan structures) and mention that it is an estimate, not a quote. In apps that display widgets, a visual card with these results is shown to the user; there,

• list_breeds

  Lists dog breeds supported by the TheDogs.app pet insurance cost estimator, optionally filtered by a search term.

• match_dog_breeds

  Runs the TheDogs.app breed-matching quiz on 121 breeds and returns the top 3 matches as cards with a sarcastic tagline, why the breed works, Dr. Waggs' reality check and a link to the breed page. Use when someone asks which dog breed suits them. The five key answers (living situation, activity, experience, kids, time alone) must come from the user: if any is unknown, ask for it first and never guess or assume a value. The rest default to neutral. Always share the links. In apps that display widgets, a visual card with these results is shown to the user; there, keep your text reply short and do not repeat every number or list from the card.

• assess_breed_fit

  Reality-checks ONE named breed against the person's lifestyle with the TheDogs.app quiz scoring: overall fit %, its rank among 121 breeds for the same answers, a per-area breakdown (home, activity, experience, kids, shedding, barking, time alone, vet budget, strangers, trainability), the biggest mismatch, and which single change in the person's situation would raise the fit most. Use when someone asks 'is a <breed> right for me?', 'should I get a <breed>?' or 'what would make a <breed> work?'. The five key answers (home, activity, experience, kids, time alone) must come from the user: if any is unknown, ask for it first and never guess or assume a value. The rest default to neutral. Use match_dog_breeds instead when no breed is named. In apps that display widgets, a visual card with these results is shown to the user; there, keep your text reply short and do not repeat every number or list from the card.

• find_similar_breeds

  Finds breeds that share the look and personality of a breed the user is drawn to (e.g. 'I love Huskies but…', 'something like a German Shepherd but smaller/easier', 'dogs similar to a Golden'). Uses TheDogs.app look & personality tags plus AKC group. If the five key lifestyle answers are given, it only returns easier-to-find breeds that fit the user at least 10 points better than the loved breed, with their fit %; without answers it returns the closest look-and-vibe twins. Use match_dog_breeds when no breed is named, assess_breed_fit to check one breed. In apps that display widgets, a visual card with these results is shown to the user; there, keep your text reply short and do not repeat every number or list from the card.

• get_arrival_checklist

  Builds TheDogs.app's arrival checklist for a breed: what to have before the dog comes home, on day one and in the first week, sized for the breed (crate, harness), with breed-specific items (e.g. ramp for back-problem breeds, cooling mat for flat-faced breeds) and a 'don't buy yet' list. Optional lifestyle answers personalize it (apartment, alone all day, first dog). Use when the user is getting a dog soon, passed a test drive, or asks what to buy/prepare. The list is editorial, not sponsored; it contains no prices or shopping links. In apps that display widgets, a visual card is shown to the user; there, keep your text reply short and do not repeat every item from the card.

• create_test_drive_plan

  Builds a short, practical try-before-you-adopt plan (3, 7 or 14 days) for ONE named breed, matched to the person's lifestyle: 3–8 concrete trials (daily exercise at the breed's level, workday/alone-time plan, coat care, noise, floor space, kids supervision, training commitment, and a dog-account budget using TheDogs.app vet-cost estimates), each with daily time ranges and a pass criterion. The trial that tests the person's biggest mismatch is marked decisive and comes first. Use when someone asks how to know if they're ready for a breed, wants to 'try before buying', or is unsure about a specific breed. The five key answers (home, activity, experience, kids, time alone) must come from the user: ask for any that are missing, never guess. Returns a plan_id: nothing is stored, so tell the user to save the summary. In apps that display widgets, a visual card with these results is shown to the user; there, keep your text reply short and do not repeat every number or list from the card.

• review_test_drive

  Reviews a finished TheDogs.app test drive: takes the plan_id and, for each trial, whether it worked, was a struggle, or was skipped. Returns three blocks (Worked / Needs a solution / Not yet known), a fix for each struggle, an overall readout that weighs the decisive trial most, and better-matching, easier-to-find breeds when it didn't go well. Use when the user reports back on a test drive. Trial keys come from the plan (exercise, alone, coat, noise, space, kids, training, budget); map the user's words to them and leave out trials they didn't mention. Nothing is stored. In apps that display widgets, a visual card with these results is shown to the user; there, keep your text reply short and do not repeat every number or list from the card.

• get_breed_profile

  Returns TheDogs.app's (sarcastic but factual) profile of a dog breed: tagline, short description, strengths, Dr. Waggs' reality check, health watch list, key stats and breed-specific gear picks (product types chosen for the breed's health risks), with links to the full breed page and its vet-cost estimate. Health items are general breed tendencies, not a diagnosis. In apps that display widgets, a visual card with these results is shown to the user; there, keep your text reply short and do not repeat every number or list from the card.

• compare_dog_breeds

  Compares 2–3 dog breeds on size, energy, shedding, barking, trainability, kid-friendliness and life expectancy, plus estimated vet costs (expected lifetime cost and modeled monthly insurance premium (benchmark, not a quote) at age 1, U.S. average prices). Use for 'X vs Y' questions. Estimates are statistical, not quotes or recommendations of a policy. In apps that display widgets, a visual card with these results is shown to the user; there, keep your text reply short and do not repeat every number or list from the card.
