Free Printable Dog Feeding Schedule & Food Transition Log
A dog feeding schedule records when your dog eats, what food, how much, plus treats and water, so everyone in the household feeds the same way. This one adds a weekly log and a 10-day food switch tracker. Amounts come from your food's label and your veterinarian; the form doesn't recommend any.
Put it on the fridge so nobody double-feeds, and use the food switch page when you change brands or move a puppy onto adult food.
What's on the printable
- Daily meal plan: time, food, amount, treats and water
- Weekly feeding log with notes
- 10-day food switch log: % old / % new food, stool, appetite
- Notes box for your vet
What to record at each meal
- Time: a steady routine helps many dogs settle.
- Food and amount: as written on the label or advised by your vet.
- Treats: so every family member knows what's already been given.
- Water: refills and anything unusual about drinking.
Switching foods
Change foods gradually using the mix your vet or the new food's label suggests. Each day, write the mix you served and how your dog's stool and appetite look. If you notice digestive changes, our poop & digestion log gives you more room to track them for your vet.

Frequently asked questions
- How much should I feed my dog?
- Start with the feeding guide on your dog food's label and ask your vet, who can adjust for your dog's age, weight, activity and health. This form doesn't recommend amounts; it gives you a place to write down the amount you and your vet settle on.
- How do I switch my dog to a new food?
- Most owners switch gradually over several days, mixing a little more of the new food each day. Use the mix your vet or the new food's label suggests, and write down what you served, plus stool and appetite, in the 10-day food switch log.
- Why track stool and appetite during a food change?
- They're the easiest signs to watch while your dog adjusts. A written record makes it simple to show your vet what happened on which day if something seems off.
- Can my pet sitter use this feeding schedule?
- Yes. Fill in the daily meal plan and leave it with your sitter, or pair it with our free pet sitter and boarding info sheet.
- Should I write down treats and water too?
- Yes. Treats add up, and changes in how much your dog drinks are worth mentioning to your vet. The meal table and weekly log both have treat and water columns.
- Is the dog feeding schedule free and fillable?
- Yes. It's a free fillable PDF with no email or account required. You can also fill it out online and print it, and nothing you type is stored on our servers.
