More complete and more precisely balanced than commercial pet food.
Create homemade diets for your pets that are more complete and more precisely balanced than any commercial pet food. Pet Diet Designer tracks more nutrients than commercial pet food and balances critical fatty acids that the commercial pet food industry has failed to include in their product offerings. With Pet Diet Designer you can create meals and snacks that are precisely optimized for only your pet. We call this "personalized" nutrition. It's like having your own animal nutritionist!
Quickly see if your recipe meets your pet's nutrient requirements.
You can easily adjust ingredient amounts and select (or deselect) ingredients to instantly see if your recipe meets the minimum or recommended nutrient levels for your pet. Each pet has different requirements so you can imagine the time you will save by using Pet Diet Designer to create meals precisely optimized for your cat or dog.
Balance key nutrients with ease, including important fatty acid ratios.
Pet Diet Designer dynamically calculates all the important nutrient ratios for you and shows you graphically if you are within the recommended range when you are formulating diets for your cat or dog. So creating balanced meals is now easy.
Detailed pet nutrient requirements and total ingredient nutrient levels.
Your pet's precise daily nutrient requirements are overlayed as line graphs so you can instantly see if the nutrient levels of your recipe are correct for your pet.

As you adjust the quantity of each ingredient, the graphs will update in real time.
Placing your mouse cursor over each bar graph displays a popup info panel with the precise nutrient level of the recipe and the exact minimum and recommended nutrient requirement for your pet.

Pet Diet Designer makes it so easy to view your pet's precise nutrient requirements against a recipe's total nutrient levels. Instantly see changes in a recipe's nutrient levels when selecting or deselecting ingredients or making changes to ingredient amounts. Painless ad-hoc recipe design.

The Food Wizard is where you add foods and supplements to the database. Calculations and conversions are handled automatically by the wizard ensuring the integrity of your data.
Manage an unlimited number of pets.
Recording physiological, environmental and lifestage data is critical to designing complete and balanced meals for a pet. A handy pet info panel lets you know if you require any additional info on your pet so that you can create and balance recipes for that pet.
Integrated and easy-to-use weight management.
An estimated one-third of our pets are overweight or obese. Overweight dogs and cats are more susceptible to certain disease conditions. Too much food and not enough exercise is the primary cause of obesity in our pets.
Pet Diet Designer for Windows includes a sophisticated weight management module that will help you feed your dog or cat to reduce their weight. You just enter 3 values: 1) the start date, 2) your pet's current weight, and 3) the desired weight for your pet. Everything gets automatically calculated and graphed for you, including the daily calories to feed your pet and the duration of the weight loss program.
When you balance a recipe (or create one) for a pet that is on a weight loss program, the calculated caloric daily intake generated by the weight loss program is used instead of the normal caloric intake (based on physiology, lifestage, etc.). This makes it easy to ensure your pet stays on track for the duration of the program.
Store all of your important, pet-related contacts.
Record veterinarians, groomers, breeders, food suppliers, etc. Have all contact details at your fingertips.
