Din Din 4 Dogs Feeding Guide
How much fresh food to feed your dog by weight, and how to switch to Din Din 4 Dogs without upsetting their stomach.
The 7-day transition schedule
Days 1–2: 75% previous food / 25% Din Din — Just a taste to start.
Days 3–4: 50% previous food / 50% Din Din — Equal mix — observe closely.
Days 5–6: 25% previous food / 75% Din Din — Almost fully switched.
Day 7 +: 100% Din Din — Fully transitioned.
Sensitive stomach? Extend each phase by 2–3 extra days. Slower is always better — your dog’s gut microbiome needs time to adjust to real food.
Daily feeding amounts by dog weight
Under 10 lbs (Toy): ¼ – ½ cup per day, fed 2× a day, about ⅛ – ¼ cup per meal.
10 – 20 lbs (Small): ½ – 1 cup per day, fed 2× a day, about ¼ – ½ cup per meal.
21 – 40 lbs (Medium): 1 – 2 cups per day, fed 2× a day, about ½ – 1 cup per meal.
41 – 70 lbs (Large): 2 – 3½ cups per day, fed 2× a day, about 1 – 1¾ cups per meal.
Over 70 lbs (XL): 3½ – 5 cups per day, fed 2× a day, about 1¾ – 2½ cups per meal.
These are starting guidelines only. Adjust for age, activity and body condition. Puppies and very active dogs may need up to 20% more.
Tips for success
Keep it cold: use open portions within 4 days. Freeze the rest and thaw in the fridge overnight. Never microwave.
Serve warm: let chilled food rest 5–10 minutes before serving, or add a splash of warm water.
Fresh water always: fresh food is more hydrating than kibble, but always keep a bowl of fresh water available.
Stay consistent: feed at the same times daily. Routine regulates digestion and reduces food-related anxiety.
Normal vs. when to pause during the transition
Normal: softer stools for 1–3 days, smaller and less odorous poops, increased thirst at first, slightly reduced appetite initially.
Slow down or call your vet: vomiting means slow the transition; lethargy for 2 or more days means call your veterinarian.
Persistent or severe symptoms beyond 5 days? Please consult your veterinarian.
