Pet Nutrition Pro turns a WooCommerce pet food catalog into a nutrition-based guided selling experience for dogs and cats.
Customers enter the pet profile and food preferences. The free workflow provides an indicative daily calorie requirement and printable nutrition summary. With the optional Diet Engine service active, the same flow can match the profile with compatible WooCommerce products, calculate daily feeding amounts and connect recommendations to the cart.
The calorie calculator is the entry point: Pet Nutrition Pro connects pet profile data, nutrition calculation, product compatibility and WooCommerce purchasing in one guided flow.

Free plugin and Diet Engine
Pet Nutrition Pro is GPL-licensed and can be installed without purchasing Diet Engine.
The free workflow includes the dog and cat profile, indicative calorie calculation, printable summary, optional pet photo for the current browser session, WooCommerce product configuration and Appearance and Layout controls.
Calorie calculation uses the Pet Nutrition Pro remote service and requires explicit authorization by the site administrator. Authorization does not activate a paid plan.
Diet Engine is an optional paid remote service that adds compatible WooCommerce product matching, calculated daily feeding amounts and advanced recommendation/cart integration. Payment is for remote service access, not for unlocking locally installed PHP code.
Without Diet Engine, recommendations, calculated feeding amounts and the advanced cart workflow are unavailable. The free calorie calculation and printable summary remain available when the remote connection is authorized.
WooCommerce guided selling
Participating products can be configured with food group, kcal per 100 g, dog/cat eligibility, applicable size/life-stage/profile settings, food exclusions, sensitivities and merchant priority.
A product marked as available for the diet is not automatically recommended. Compatibility is evaluated first; merchant priority applies only among compatible products.
With Diet Engine active:
- The customer enters the pet profile and food preferences.
- Pet Nutrition Pro calculates the indicative daily energy requirement.
- Incompatible configured products are excluded.
- Merchant priority is applied among compatible products.
- Diet Engine returns selected products and calculated daily feeding amounts.
- The customer can continue to WooCommerce products and cart.
Dry and Puffed groups normally return one product. Wet food can return multiple compatible products up to the configured maximum.
Stores, agencies and developers
Pet Nutrition Pro is designed for WooCommerce pet food stores and for agencies or developers building those stores.
Store owners choose participating products, compatibility criteria and priority among compatible items.
Public shortcodes:
[bomapnp_pet_nutrition_form] - dog and cat profile form.
[bomapnp_resulting_diet] - nutrition result and, with Diet Engine active, recommended products and feeding amounts.
Appearance and Layout controls responsive presentation and optional store/agency branding. A custom CSS class supports project-specific styling without changing nutrition or Diet Engine logic.
Important nutrition notice
Pet Nutrition Pro is an informational product-selection tool. It does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe veterinary diets, or replace professional veterinary advice.
Languages
The plugin interface is available in Italian, English (US and UK), French, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Portugal) and Portuguese (Brazil).
The plugin package does not bundle compiled
.po/
.mo translation catalogs.
WordPress.org language packs for the
boma-pet-nutrition-pro text domain take precedence when available; a validated built-in localization fallback preserves the currently supported interface languages when a language pack is unavailable.
