The food trial, week by week

the guided version

Switching food to get answers? This is the whole 8-week protocol, one honest step at a time.

  1. Film your dog like a pro (on your phone)The baseline shots to film before you switch your dog's food, and how to take week-by-week clips you can actually compare.
  2. The 7-day switch, done rightThe day-by-day plan for moving your dog onto a new food, what's normal in week one, and when to slow down.
  3. Soft poos after a food change: normal or not?A couple of soft poos after switching food is usually the gut adjusting. What's normal, what needs the vet, and the myth to ignore.
  4. Why tummies improve before skinGut problems can respond to a food change in about two weeks. Skin takes far longer. The timeline the studies actually show.
  5. The sneaky seven: things that quietly break a food trialA food trial only works if nothing else passes your dog's lips. The seven things that break trials in real households, ranked.
  6. Week 3 and nothing's happened. Now what?Half of food-allergic dogs haven't improved by week three. What the studies say about the quiet middle of a food trial, and what to check.
  7. What week 5 tells youWeek five is the biggest milestone in a food trial - more than 8 in 10 food-allergic dogs are dramatically better by now. What to do either way.
  8. No change yet? What it meansWeek six is the honest checkpoint of a food trial. What no improvement really tells you, and why finishing the eight weeks still matters.
  9. Getting the “after” shot rightHow to film an after shot that actually matches your day-one footage, plus the happy shot that makes the whole eight weeks worth it.
  10. The prove-it test: re-challenging safelyThe optional last step of a food trial: reintroduce the old food, watch what happens, and know for certain. How to do it safely.

the food behind the project

One novel protein.
None of the usual suspects.

Some Grub is a cold-pressed, hypoallergenic dog food built around insect protein - a protein most dogs have never met, which is the whole point of a food trial.
