Dog Food Transition Calculator

Get a personalized 10-day transition plan with exact amounts for each stage.

What is your dog eating now?

We'll use this to calculate the transition amounts.

Look near the Guaranteed Analysis on your food's bag, can, or website. You're looking for a number followed by kcal/cup, kcal/kg, or kcal/g. Tap to close

We need this to do the math accurately. Kibble varies a lot (90g to 150g per cup depending on size and shape). Here's how to find it:

  • Switch to kcal/cup above (most bags list this)
  • Search "[your brand] grams per cup" online
  • Weigh one level cup on a kitchen scale

Adding this gives the most accurate results. Without it, we'll estimate based on your dog's weight.

If your dog gets diarrhea

Don't panic. This is common during food transitions. Slow down and stay at the current stage until stool firms up before moving to the next stage.

Psyllium husk powder: Add per day, mixed into food. This helps bulk up stool.

Probiotic: Add a daily probiotic to support gut health during the transition.

If diarrhea persists for more than 48 hours, contact your veterinarian.
