Kayas Transition Calculator — Friendly Guide

This quick guide shows you how to use the calculator to move Kaya from kibble to gently cooked food at a steady, safe pace.

How to use it

  1. Enter Kayas age in months (e.g. "5.5")

  2. Check the energy numbers for your foods:

  • Eukanuba (kibble) defaults to 372 kcal/100g (replace if your bag shows a different number)
  • Fred & Felia (gently cooked) defaults to 115 kcal/100g (replace if your bag shows a different number)
  • Add or rename the foods (e.g., “Treats”) and enter their energy values from the label (kcal/100 g, kcal/kg, kcal/cup, or kcal/can).
  1. Set your percentages. We will start small (e.g., GC 5%, kibble 95%), lock any values you want fixed.

  2. Choose how to view amounts:

  • Per day or per meal; set meals/day if needed.
  • Pick your preferred units (grams, kg).
  • Use “days” to see totals for meal prep.

Regarding treats

  • Keep treats ≤10% (your plan is good). Larger shares can dilute the balanced portion of the diet.
  • Enter treat kcal from the package (asfed) for accuracy.
  • Monitor body condition and stool; adjust if needed.

What youll see

  • Exact amounts for each food based on your percentages and energy labels.
  • Totals per day (or per meal), and optional multiday batches.
  • Everything updates instantly as you change inputs.

Good to know

  • Gently cooked is less caloriedense than kibble. As you add more GC, total grams may go up. This is normal.
  • Treats count. I added a “Treats” source with its kcal so the plan stays balanced.
  • When in doubt, doublecheck kcal values on the package (kcal/100 g or kcal/kg are most common).

Remember

Every dog is unique. Monitor body condition, stool quality, and appetite. We will adjust percentages and amounts as Kaya grows and responds to the new plan.
