Welcome to KitchenLab K9
Please review and accept before using the app.
KitchenLab K9 helps you estimate nutrient content and build dog food recipes based on your inputs.
It uses reference targets from organizations such as AAFCO for comparison, but is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
All calculations depend on the accuracy of the ingredients and supplement products you select, and this tool does not replace veterinary guidance.
You are responsible for reviewing your formulation and deciding how to use it. Consider introducing dietary changes gradually and monitor your petโs response.
If your dog has medical conditions or special dietary needs, consult your veterinarian before use.

add or swap ingredients while viewing how they affect nutrient totals
Supplements
