Datapoint Collected
Days champaign countdown
At Canela Labs, we blend science, data, and smart manufacturing to reinvent how dog products are made.
We collect detailed paw and breed data from Canela users and are expanding into broader canine datasets—covering movement, health, and behavior. This growing foundation fuels our machine learning models, enabling smarter, more responsive design.
Our R&D team integrates additive manufacturing to produce custom-fit, breed-aware gear with speed and precision—starting with footwear and advancing into new product categories.
Canela ForméFit™
Canela PawScan™
A machine learning-powered tool that lets dog owners capture accurate paw dimensions using just a smartphone. PawScan analyzes your dog’s paw, provides interactive insights on shape and balance, and compares it with our growing breed database — helping us ensure every product fits better, performs better, and feels natural.
Canela PawBase™
A growing foundation of canine biometric, and breed data. It powers our machine learning models, supports product personalization, and helps us better understand how dogs move, grow, and interact with their environment.

Canela ForméFit™
Tailor‑Made Comfort, Engineered for Every Step
Sized from a precise paw‑profile scan, Canela ForméFit™ is sculpted to mirror the natural anatomy of a dog’s paw — with an ergonomically rounded sole and precision‑fit contouring that ensure fluid, balanced movement. Unlike the bulky, designs often found in dog footwear, its tailored form eliminates the awkward stumble of oversized shoes, delivering comfort and confidence in every step.
CanelaFlex™ Material
The same high‑performance polymer trusted in premium human footwear — and paired with precision‑engineered mesh zones, Canela ForméFit delivers exceptional airflow to keep paws cool, dry, and comfortable. Its breathable, paw‑shaped design helps regulate temperature and prevent moisture build‑up, while offering confident, non‑slip traction.
Engineered Like Sneakers. Built for Paws.
Through precision additive manufacturing, each shoe is sculpted with purpose‑built zones: a cushioned midsole for shock absorption, a puncture‑ and heat‑resistant outsole for all‑terrain confidence, and an inner grip layer that keeps paws steady without restricting movement. It’s pawwear engineered to feel invisible, perform flawlessly, and protect instinctively.

What is PawBase™?
PawBase™ is our intelligent canine data platform. It receives measurement data from our app and uses it to generate a 3D mesh of your dog’s leg and paw, which serves as the digital foundation for your custom-fit Canela ForméFit™ shoes.
What kind of data do you collect and why?
We collect paw size, shape, angles, breed, and gait-related data. This helps us improve product fit and design while contributing to long-term canine health research. All data is securely stored and anonymized.
