The first week, day by day
Dry food now? This is the easy switch.
Tins and pouches now? Keep the wet food on top.
Feeding raw now? Then never in the same bowl.
New dog? Change nothing tonight.
This is the plan for a dog on dry food. Tell us what yours eats and this becomes your dog's plan. Answer the question

- Day 2 A quarter
- Day 3 Half
- Day 4 Half
- Day 5 Three quarters
- Day 6 Three quarters
- Day 7 All Longwalk
- Days 1 and 2 A quarter Longwalk, three quarters old food, stirred together.

Why a week?
A dog that gets a whole new food overnight often leaves the bowl, or has an upset stomach by the weekend. A week of mixing avoids both.
- Day 1 A quarter
- Day 2 A quarter
- Day 3 Half
- Day 4 Half
- Day 5 Three quarters
- Day 6 Three quarters
- Day 7 All Longwalk
- Days 1 and 2 A quarter Longwalk, three quarters old food, stirred together.
- Days 3 and 4 Half and half.
- Days 5 and 6 Three quarters Longwalk, a handful of the old food.

The one thing to know
Stir the two together properly. A dog will pick round the new biscuits if they sit on top.
- Day 1 A quarter
- Day 2 A quarter
- Day 3 Half
- Day 4 Half
- Day 5 Three quarters
- Day 6 Three quarters
- Day 7 All Longwalk
- Days 1 and 2 A quarter Longwalk, three quarters tin.
- Days 3 and 4 Half and half.
- Days 5 and 6 Three quarters Longwalk, a spoonful of tin on top.
- Day 7 All Longwalk.
The one thing to know
Tin-fed dogs are used to soft food. Add a splash of warm water to the Longwalk and put the tin on top, so the first thing they smell is the food they know.

- Day 2 Evening meal
- Day 3 Evening meal

The one thing to know
Leave a good few hours between the raw meal and the Longwalk meal, and wash the bowl in between.
- Day 1 One spoonful
- Day 2 A fifth
- Day 3 A third
- Day 4 Nearly half
- Day 5 Over half
- Day 6 Most of it

- Days 4 and 5 About half and half.
- Day 6 Mostly Longwalk.
- Day 7 All Longwalk.
The one thing to know
If you do not know what they were fed before, ask the breeder or the rescue for a few days of it. It is worth the phone call.
How big is your dog?
You know your dog. You should not have to know how many kilos it eats in a month. Every bag is four weeks of food.
Three bags, each one four weeks of food.
- Small dog, 3 kg bag £26
- Medium dog, 6 kg bag £42

One kitchen in Bristol. One oven. One recipe.
We would rather make one food well than twelve foods badly.
- Baked, in small batches. Slowly, in an oven, the way you would bake a biscuit.
- A short list. Chicken, oats, sweet potato and peas. You can read the whole label in one breath.
- Four weeks to a bag. Sized to your dog, so you are never guessing when it runs out.
What happens after you order
Five emails in the first four weeks. None of them is a discount, and only the last one asks you for anything.
- Order day
We check your two answers
Size and current food, sent straight back to you, so a wrong one is fixed before the bag ships.
- Day 1
The bag and the plan arrive
Your switch plan lands in your inbox that morning, and there is a printed copy in the bag.
- Day 8
One question
The switch is done. We ask how the bowl is going down, and a person reads what you say.
- Day 26
Five days of food left
We tell you before the bag runs out, with the same bag ready to send again.
Fair questions
What if my dog will not eat it?
Go back a step in the plan and stay there for two more days. If the bowl is still being left by the end of the week, tell us and we refund the bag. You do not need to send it back.
I picked the wrong answer. Can I change it?
Yes. The first email repeats both answers back to you, with a button to change either one before the bag ships.
Is this a subscription?
Not unless you ask for one. You buy one bag. When it is nearly finished we offer to send the same bag every four weeks, and you can say no.
My dog is between two sizes. Which bag?
Take the smaller one. The first bag lasts a few days longer anyway, because for a week it shares the bowl with the old food.
