Does This Sound Like You?

  • You want to feed your dog homemade food but you're terrified of getting the nutrition wrong
  • You've looked into it and every blog, brand, and Facebook group says something completely different
  • You've seen what vet nutritionist consults cost and thought "I guess I'll just stick with kibble"
  • You don't have hours every week or a huge grocery budget to make homemade work
  • You've found free recipes online but you have no idea if they're actually balanced

You're Not Alone...

I'd spent weeks researching homemade dog food. Reading blogs. Watching videos. Trying to piece together something I felt good about.

Then I drove 2.5 hours to buy the "right" ingredients.

Then I spent about 4 hours in the kitchen prepping meals.

Weighed everything. Followed the recipe. Did everything I thought I was supposed to do.

I set the bowl down in front of Harper.

She stared at me. Wouldn't eat it.

And I remember standing there thinking, I don't even know if this is balanced. I don't even know if this would've been good for her if she did eat it.

I just burned an entire day on something I couldn't verify.

That was when it clicked for me.

The blogs don't agree with each other. The Facebook groups are full of people guessing. The brands want you to buy their food, not make your own. And the only "safe" path everyone points to is a vet nutritionist consult that most people can't afford.

The whole system profits off of you being confused.

So we built a calculator. One that matches your dog to a vet-nutritionist-formulated recipe, portions it to their exact weight, shows you the cost, and hands you a grocery list.

Because pet parents don't need more opinions. They need a tool they can count on, backed by someone with real credentials and zero financial incentive to confuse them.

"I used to feed my dog homemade food but his hair started falling out. I wasn't adding enough nutrients. Following Bryce's recipes, his hair is growing back. I haven't seen a homemade dog food channel that adds the nutrients that he does."

The real question

Why This Calculator Instead of Everything Else Out There?

You've got options. Here's an honest look at each one and why most pet parents end up stuck between all of them.

🔍

Search for Free Recipes Online

A UC Davis study analyzed 200 homemade dog food recipes from books, websites, and blogs. 95% were missing at least one essential nutrient. 83% had multiple deficiencies. 92% had instructions so vague that pet owners were left guessing.

! The only 4 recipes that passed? All written by veterinary nutritionists.
🩺

Hire a Vet Nutritionist

This is the gold standard. A board-certified vet nutritionist will build a recipe specific to your dog. If you can afford it and can get an appointment, do it. Seriously.

! $300–500 per consult. Weeks-long waitlists. One recipe for one dog.
🤷

Give Up and Buy Commercial Food

This is what most people end up doing. Not because they want to, but because everything else feels too expensive, too risky, or too confusing. That's not a failure on your part. It's a gap that shouldn't exist.

! The default when every other option feels out of reach. You're here because you want something better.

There's a massive gap between a $500 consult and a random blog recipe. We built something to fill it.

How it works

Three Steps. That's It.

1

Tell us about your dog.

Enter their weight, pick a protein, and flag any ingredients they need to avoid. Takes about 30 seconds.

2

Get matched to a recipe.

The calculator matches your dog to a vet-nutritionist-formulated recipe based on what you told us. Every recipe is balanced for adult dogs and built around grocery store ingredients. You'll see your dog's exact daily portions, a cost breakdown comparing homemade to store-bought brands, and the full supplement dosing.

3

Start cooking.

Pick how many days you want to batch cook, from 1 to 14. The calculator scales everything, gives you a grocery list you can copy to your clipboard, and walks you through the cooking instructions step by step. One session in the kitchen and you're set for the week.

"Started cooking for my dogs when one of them started having runny poos. It's made a huge difference. Much healthier coats, no more itching, and my older two are more spry."

Frequently Asked Questions

Every recipe in the calculator was formulated by Dr. Danielle Conway, a veterinary nutritionist who completed four years of advanced training in dog and cat nutrition after vet school. These aren't blog recipes. They were built by someone with the credentials to get it right.

It depends on your dog's size and where you shop. The calculator shows you the exact cost per day and compares it against store-bought brands. For most dogs, homemade comes out to a fraction of what you'd spend on commercial fresh food.

Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. If it's not for you, cancel whenever you want. Your access continues through the end of your billing period.

That's exactly who this is built for. The calculator tells you what to buy, how much to make, what supplements to add, and walks you through cooking instructions step by step. If you get stuck, the community is there to help.

These recipes are formulated to be cooked. Cooking changes how nutrients are absorbed, so feeding them raw could result in your dog getting too much or too little of certain nutrients.

The calculator is built for healthy adult dogs. If your dog needs a therapeutic diet or is still growing, we recommend working with a veterinary nutritionist directly. We can help point you in the right direction.

When you cancel, your access continues through the end of your billing period. After that, you won't be able to use the calculator or access the community. If you rejoin later, everything is still there.

Yes. We're actively developing new recipes with Dr. Conway. As they're added, you'll get access automatically as part of your membership.

You're not doing anything wrong. You just don't have the right tools yet.
