What and how much

The brand and type of food, and the amount per meal in cups or grams. If you mix wet and dry, tell us the mix.

When they eat

The times they usually have breakfast and dinner. Keeping meals on their normal clock helps them settle.

Treats and extras

Which treats they’re allowed and how many. Tell us about anything they mustn’t have, too.

Picky-eater tips

Do they like their food warmed, soaked or served in a particular bowl? Little tricks from home help them eat in a new place.

Medication with meals

If they take medication with food, write down the dose and time, and pack it in its original packaging. We’ll go through it with you at drop-off.
