Days 1–3
⅓ Seven
One-third Seven, two-thirds of the old food, mixed in the same bowl.
Seven is a different kind of food. The protein is concentrated and the nutrient density is high — a real change for your pup's stomach. A careful first week makes all the difference.
The first week
Introduce Seven gradually. Most upset stomachs, refused bowls and loose stools trace back to skipping this one step.
Days 4–6
⅔ Seven
Two-thirds Seven, one-third of the old food.
Day 7
All Seven
A full bowl of Seven, every meal from here on.
Watch it done
Two minutes, one bowl — the whole routine from pouch to pup.

Every bowl, step by step
Weigh the portion
Use your pup's exact daily amount in ounces — it is in your welcome email and on your member profile. Weigh it rather than eyeballing it; Seven looks like less in the bowl than it is.
Add hot water — double the food's weight
Seven needs twice its weight in water, and hot water works best. This is the step people miss most.
Wait a full ten minutes
Give the food the full ten minutes to absorb the water. Served early, it keeps pulling water in after it is swallowed — and that unsettles the stomach.
Serve
Set the bowl down and let your pup enjoy it. Refrigerate anything prepared but not eaten, and use it at the next meal.
If something seems off
Nearly every early issue traces back to one of these four. Check them in order.
Hydration
Not enough water
Seven needs double the water by weight — hot water works best — and a full ten minutes to absorb it. Food served dry or half-hydrated keeps pulling water in after it is swallowed, and that can quickly unsettle the stomach.
Transition
Switched too fast
Three days at one-third Seven, three days at two-thirds, and only then a full bowl. Going straight to all Seven is the most common cause of issues in the first week.
Portion
Eyeballing the portion
Weigh the daily amount rather than judging it by sight, and check it against the number on your pup's profile. Seven looks like less in the bowl, which makes it easy to add extra.
Pace
Eating too quickly
Plenty of pups love the aroma and eat faster than their stomach can keep up with. For the first week on full Seven, serve half the meal, then the other half ten minutes after the first is gone.
Your pup's exact portion
Every member gets a custom daily amount, in ounces, sized to their pup. It is in your welcome email and on your profile. Can't find it, or something still seems off?
