Four things that go wrong in the bowl

None of them is on a recall list. Each one has a kit.

The scoop

−48% to +152%

How far off owners’ scoops were, in a study of 100 dog owners.

Coe et al., Veterinary Record, 2019

The Portion Kit turns your bag’s calorie line into cups. You mark your scoop once.

The treats

30% of the day

One 6-inch bully stick, for a 10-lb dog. The cap for all treats is 10%.

Freeman et al., Can Vet J, 2013

The Treat Kit sets a treat budget the whole family can see.

The switch

“Digestive upset”

“A sudden switch may cause digestive upset and food aversion…” Dogs “should transition to a new food over seven days.”

AAHA, 2021

The Switch Kit plans seven calm days with your dog’s own amounts.

The bag

Less than half

of the pet food complaints FDA gets include the lot number.

FDA, 2024

The Pantry Kit logs every bag, so your next recall check takes seconds.

How much of your dog’s day is one bully stick?

For a 10-lb dog, about 30%. Pick yours.

Your dog’s weight

Pick the closest. Adult dog at a healthy weight.

Sticks vary: about 54 to 132 calories at 6 inches, about 90 for an average 6-inch stick (Freeman 2013). Typical adult dog; calories vary by dog. General guidance, not veterinary advice.

The Treat Kit turns your dog’s weight into a daily budget, then keeps the family inside it.
