About this plugin
Boma Pet Nutrition Pro brings personalized pet nutrition to WooCommerce pet food stores, combining a dog and cat calorie calculator with nutrition-based guided selling.
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 dog and cat calorie calculator is the entry point: Pet Nutrition Pro connects pet profiles, nutrition calculations, pet food product recommendations and WooCommerce purchasing in one guided flow.
Discover the benefits for pet food stores
If you own or manage a pet food store, start with this overview: see how Boma Pet Nutrition Pro helps customers find suitable products and turns nutrition guidance into a more useful shopping experience. The free calorie calculation is available after remote-service authorization; product recommendations and cart integration require the optional Diet Engine service.

- Indicative daily calorie requirement.
- Printable result with browser Save as PDF.
- WooCommerce pet-food compatibility settings.

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 for the on-screen Resulting Diet page, without changing the public form or printable/PDF layout.
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.
Personalized pet nutrition and 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.
For agencies and developers: professional integration
This more technical demonstration is intended for agencies and developers building WooCommerce pet food stores for their clients. Explore how Boma Pet Nutrition Pro fits into a tailored store project.
Optional free theme: Pet Nutrition Pro Starter
Pet Nutrition Pro Starter is a separate, free WordPress child theme based on Storefront. It can simplify the initial setup of a pet food shop and is designed to work alongside Boma Pet Nutrition Pro. The theme is optional: it is not bundled with, or required by, this plugin.
This third video demonstrates the Starter theme and the store-building process rather than the plugin itself.

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).
mo translation catalogs. 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.
External Service
Pet Nutrition Pro communicates with a remote service operated by Boma Software.
API host:
it/dbconnect/
The service is used for the indicative calorie calculation and, when Diet Engine is active, compatible product recommendations, feeding amounts, priority data and the advanced WooCommerce result.
The connection is used only after explicit authorization by the site administrator.
Data sent from the pet form
Depending on the selected profile, the service can receive:
- pet name;
- species, sex, age and weight;
- size/profile range where applicable;
- activity, body condition and sterilization status;
- pregnancy or lactation where applicable;
- selected exclusions, intolerances, sensitivities and food preferences;
- technical site identifier.
WooCommerce product data sent
The full WooCommerce catalog is not synchronized automatically. For participating products, the service can receive:
- WooCommerce product ID and title;
- Dry, Puffed or Wet group;
- kcal per 100 g;
- dog/cat and profile compatibility settings;
- configured exclusions and sensitivities;
- merchant ordering values;
- technical site identifier.
Data kept local
The optional pet photo remains in the browser for the current result. It is not uploaded to the Media Library, saved in the WordPress database or sent to the remote service.
Print / Save as PDF uses the browser print function and does not send the result to an external PDF service.
The site owner is responsible for an appropriate privacy notice for the actual website configuration and applicable law.
