K9 Cookbook sizes every recipe to your dog's size, age and activity, and shows a full nutrition panel with each recipe. Setup takes two minutes. Free, with no account.
More people want to cook for their dogs, but it is hard to know how much to make. A small dog and a large dog need very different amounts, and so do a young dog and an older one. Most recipes online give one size for every dog, and the feeding chart on a bag is no better. K9 Cookbook starts with your dog. Tell it a few simple things, and every recipe is portioned for them, with the nutrition laid out so you can see what goes in the bowl.
Answer a few questions about breed, age, weight, activity and health.
Browse meals and treats, each tagged so you can see what it helps with.
See the time, the daily portion and the full ingredient list for your dog.
A chart on a bag treats every dog the same. K9 Cookbook asks about breed, age, weight, activity and weight goal, then sizes every serving to match. Health conditions, like food allergies, take unsuitable ingredients out of the recipes.
Mixed breeds
Pick up to two breeds for one dog.
A weight goal
Maintain weight, or change the daily target.
Each ingredient is listed with its amount and a short line on why it is in the recipe, such as being gentle on the stomach or high in beta-carotene. Every item has a button that takes you to buy it, so you can go from reading a recipe to filling the cart.
Pick your store
A menu lets you choose where to shop for the ingredients.
Supplements first
A vitamin and mineral supplement and salmon oil sit above the main ingredients.
The top of each recipe answers the first questions people have: what kind of recipe is it, how long will it take, how many calories and how much food is that, and how hard is it. Ingredients and directions sit behind two simple tabs. Directions start with a short summary, then numbered steps.
Know before you cook
35 minutes, easy, and 1.2 lb of food.
Celsius or Fahrenheit
Steps give °C and °F, like 74°C / 165°F for the turkey.
The home screen is named after your dog, with a warm illustration and a line that says the cookbook was built for them. Recipes are tagged as a meal or a treat, and by what each is good for, such as digestion or general wellness. It should feel like a family cookbook, not a calculator.

I designed K9 Cookbook from start to finish, all the way to the app stores. Here's how it came together.
I made the product and design decisions and directed the work. Claude, Anthropic's AI coding assistant, wrote much of the code and drafted documentation. I checked everything on a real phone before calling it done.
The app uses one shared set of tokens for its colors, spacing and type, rather than one-off styles. A few simple rules keep every screen feeling like the same app.
Live and free on Google Play and the App Store. It's a new launch, with no subscription and no account required.
