One subscription. We guide the rotation.
Subscribe once and follow the three phases in order: Foundation, Balance, Renewal, then back to Foundation. We keep the sequence simple so you always know where your dog is in the rotation.
Foundation → Balance → Renewal → repeat.
Think of it as a repeating three-step food journey. Each phase has four recipes, giving your dog purposeful variety without asking you to build a new order every time.

Foundation, Balance, and Renewal organize Shinto’s approach into three named phases. Rotation is not a treatment for disease; some pets need a consistent or modified diet under veterinary guidance.
Yes. The type of support differs. Shinto’s offers direct educational guidance and consultations; The Farmer’s Dog supports customers through its meal-plan service; JustFoodForDogs offers feeding support and a veterinary custom-diet service.
This comparison describes published approaches and does not claim that one food produces superior medical outcomes. Prices and nutritional standards are not compared here.
Your subscription begins with four Foundation recipes. This is your dog’s first phase, so you do not need to choose what comes next yet.
After Foundation, the rotation moves into four Balance recipes with new proteins, vegetables and whole food ingredients. The next phase is already part of the journey.
Renewal is the third phase, with four more recipes and sweet potato based meals. When Renewal is complete, the subscription returns to Foundation and the rotation begins again.
Fresh food that is easy to recognize.
Each container shows the food clearly. Proteins and vegetables are prepared for the recipe, then combined for feeding. Follow the serving directions that come with your plan.
Proteins are gently cooked on their own. Vegetables may be steamed, boiled, baked, mashed, or finely blended depending on the formula and ingredient.
The components are combined only after preparation and remain visibly separated in the container. This preserves texture, reduces handling, and clearly shows the balance of the meal.
Each recipe includes its own purposeful combination of protein, vegetables, whole food nutrients, and Shinto's supplement blend, without revealing our proprietary formulas.
Four simple feeding steps.
Divide the container into daily servings after opening. Refrigerate and use within eight days.
Gently warm the Bone Marrow Stock without boiling it, or use a little warm water. Add ¼ teaspoon of stock for every 2 oz of food.
Use the warm stock to thoroughly stir the protein and vegetable portions together. The visible separation is for preparation and packaging, the meal should be mixed before serving.
Add Omega-3 after warming, according to the feeding directions. Add any individualized supplements as directed.
Watch your dog. We’ll handle the sequence.
Your job is to observe appetite, digestion, stool, skin, coat and energy as recipes change. The subscription keeps the phases moving in order; you can adjust or contact us when your dog’s needs change.
