Whole Wag is openly by PawLine and introduces its app through topic-specific download links. It is not an independent review, clinical behavior service or animal-emotion detector. Official store images are labeled product assets, not evidence for a body-language claim. No qualified reviewer, patient, endorsement or proprietary study was invented for the guide.

Source scope
We checked VCA’s tail-wag article and RSPCA’s body-language guide live on November 12, 2026. VCA supports the not-always-happy, speed, natural-position and contact distinctions. RSPCA supports whole-posture examples and veterinary-first help for behavior concerns. We do not turn VCA’s directional-wag research summary into a left/right home emotion test. It is not needed for these tools.

Tools and languages
Both tools show prepared text locally with no animal participation, camera, upload or private history. Selections are not saved or sent; reload resets them. Machine-assisted translations are disclosed, with English as reference. No native-speaker or veterinary review is claimed. For actual behavior, health or safety concerns seek appropriate help without waiting for the app.
