Kidney Dog Diet AI
Buying & Getting Started
What exactly do I get when I buy?
A personal access code that unlocks 100 personalized, kidney-supportive homemade dog food recipes over 90 days. Every recipe is built around your individual dog and comes with a generated dish photo, a Kidney-Friendly Score, phosphorus/protein/sodium estimates, and supplements to discuss with your vet. Every generated recipe is saved automatically in My Recipes so you can come back to it anytime.
How and when do I receive my access code?
After your purchase, we generate your code by hand and send it through Etsy Messages, usually within 24 hours. Each code is created individually and never reused between customers, which is why it isn't fully instant — it's a real, personal setup.
Do I need an OpenAI account, API key, or subscription?
No. Everything is included in your Premium pass. There's no API key to paste, no OpenAI account to create, and no monthly subscription. You just enter your access code and start generating recipes for your dog.
What devices and browsers does it work on?
Any device with a modern web browser — phone, tablet, or computer, on iOS, Android, Windows, or Mac. There's nothing to download or install. Just open the link and enter your code.
Where do I enter my code, and is it saved?
There's an "access code" field in the sidebar on the main page. Once you enter it, your browser remembers it on that device, so you won't have to retype it. On a new device or browser, just paste it in again.
Is this a physical cookbook?
No — it's a web app you open in any browser. Nothing ships to you. You generate fresh recipes on demand, tailored to your dog, rather than flipping through a fixed book.
Using the App & Features
How does the app personalize recipes to my dog?
You fill in your dog's profile — weight, breed, age, IRIS kidney stage, optional bloodwork, concurrent conditions, allergies, and cooking preferences. The app uses all of that to shape each recipe and to portion it by your dog's weight rather than human servings.
What does the Kidney-Friendly Score mean?
It's an internal recipe-quality score from 0 to 100 (target 80+) reflecting how closely a recipe follows the kidney-supportive pattern: controlled phosphorus, moderate high-quality protein, low sodium. It's a guide to compare recipes — not a medical measurement, biomarker, or substitute for your vet's bloodwork.
What are the three nutrient numbers?
Each recipe shows estimates for phosphorus, protein, and sodium — the values that matter most for kidney-supportive feeding. They're approximate estimates to help you and your vet compare recipes, not lab-precise measurements.
Does every recipe come with a photo?
Yes. A photo of the finished dish is generated automatically with every recipe, so you can picture the meal. It's an AI-generated impression of the dish, not a photo of your specific batch, so the real result may look a little different.
Can I switch between metric and imperial units?
Yes. There's a metric/imperial toggle so you can enter your dog's weight in kilograms or pounds, whichever you use. Your choice is remembered for next time.
Are my recipes saved automatically?
Yes. Every recipe you generate is saved automatically to My Recipes and linked to your access code, so you can come back to it anytime — even on a different device. Automatic saving does not use any additional recipe credits.
Can I download or print a recipe?
Yes. Each recipe has a "Download PDF" option so you can save it, print it, or bring it to your vet appointment. The PDF includes the photo, ingredients, steps, portion, and nutrient estimates. This doesn't use one of your recipes.
What happens when I generate another recipe?
The new recipe replaces the one currently shown on the Generator page, but the previous recipe has already been saved automatically in My Recipes. Only generating a brand-new recipe uses one of your recipe credits; viewing, reopening, or downloading saved recipes does not.
Which actions use up one of my 100 recipes?
Only generating a brand-new recipe counts as one of your 100. Automatic saving, re-opening, downloading, or viewing saved recipes never uses an additional recipe.
Is there a daily limit on recipes?
No. There is no daily recipe limit. You can generate as many new recipes as you want in a day until you use the total recipe allowance included in your pass. Each new generation still counts toward your 100-recipe pass total.
Can I tell it what ingredients I have on hand?
Yes. There's a field where you can list ingredients you already have, and the app does its best to build a kidney-supportive recipe around them — while always avoiding foods that are unsafe for dogs.
My dog turned its nose up at a recipe — what now?
Add what your dog refuses under "Foods the dog refuses" and try a different cooking style or protein. For picky or nauseous dogs, choose options focused on palatability and ask your vet about appetite support.
Your Pass, Renewals & Refunds
How do I check how many recipes I have left?
When your code is entered, the app shows a small status box with recipes used, recipes remaining, and your expiry date. It updates automatically as you generate recipes.
What happens when my 100 recipes or 90 days run out?
The app tells you clearly when either limit is reached. Your saved recipes stay viewable, but to generate new ones you'll need to renew. Whichever comes first — the 100 recipes or the 90 days — ends that pass.
How do I renew when my pass ends?
When your pass ends, the app shows a RENEW ACCESS button in Premium Access. Tap it to review the renewal details in the app, then continue to secure Stripe Checkout. After payment is confirmed, the same access code is renewed automatically with a new recipe allowance and validity period, while your dog profiles and saved recipes stay in place.
If I renew, do I keep my saved recipes?
Yes. Stripe renews the same access code, so your saved recipes, dog profiles, and history stay connected to it.
Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?
It's a one-time purchase — no recurring charges, nothing billed automatically. When your pass runs out, renewing is entirely your choice.
Can I get a refund?
Because access unlocks digital content immediately, completed renewals are generally non-refundable once the renewed pass has been used. If something isn't working or your code has an issue, contact us and we'll help you resolve it.
My code isn't working — what should I do?
First, check it's typed exactly as sent (codes look like KD-XXXX-XXXX and aren't case sensitive). If it still won't work, message us through Etsy — or email info@jjdigit.com — with your order details and we'll sort it out quickly.
I lost my access code — how do I get it back?
No problem — your code is tied to your purchase, so we can resend it. Message us through Etsy, or email info@jjdigit.com with the name or email used for the order (and your Etsy order number if you have it). We'll look it up and send your code again.
Your Data & Privacy
Where is my dog's profile stored, and why?
Your dog's profile is kept so the app can personalize recipes and load your preferences across devices when you enter your code. It's used to run the app for you — not sold or shared for advertising.
Do you share or sell my information?
No. We don't sell your information or share it for advertising. The recipe text is generated through a third-party AI provider to make the app work, but your data isn't used to market to you.
What information is actually saved?
Your access code and its usage, your dog's profile, and the recipes you choose to save. That's what lets status checks, personalization, and My Recipes work.
Can I share my code with a friend?
Your pass is meant for one household's dogs. Sharing it widely uses up your total recipe allowance, and heavy multi-device sharing may be flagged. If a friend has a dog with kidney issues, the kindest move is to gift them their own pass.
Safety & Important for Your Dog
Is this veterinary advice or a prescribed diet?
No. This is an educational planning tool to bring ideas to your veterinarian. It does not diagnose, treat, or manage kidney disease and does not replace a vet-prescribed renal diet. Your vet — ideally a board-certified veterinary nutritionist (DACVN) — has the final say.
Why do homemade diets need supplements?
A homemade recipe on its own is usually not nutritionally complete for a dog. Each recipe names the types of supplements typically needed (like a calcium source, omega-3, or B-complex) without doses, because your vet sets the exact supplements and amounts to make the diet complete and safe.
How do you handle foods that are toxic to dogs?
Foods that are toxic to dogs are never used in any recipe — including grapes, raisins, onion, garlic, chocolate, and xylitol, among others. Even so, always read every ingredient yourself before feeding, since you know your dog best.
How should I introduce a new recipe?
Transition gradually over several days, mixing more of the new food in over time, and watch your dog's appetite, stool, and energy. If anything seems off, pause and contact your vet.
What about puppies, pregnant or nursing dogs, or other conditions?
Those situations have special nutritional needs — talk to your vet before using these recipes for a puppy, a pregnant or nursing dog, or a dog with conditions beyond what you've entered. For any emergency or suspected poisoning, contact your vet or a pet poison helpline immediately. Because the app relies on a third-party AI service, availability may occasionally change.
