Working out a food allergy means holding a pet on one restricted diet for a set stretch and then adding suspect foods back one at a time while watching for a reaction. Enter the number of weeks your veterinarian set and the watch window per food, and this tool lays out the day the restricted diet ends, the first reintroduction day, the window for each food and the day the whole trial finishes.
There is no established step table for this. The length of the restricted phase and the spacing between foods depend on the signs, the suspect ingredients and the workup, so a veterinarian decides them and this tool only turns those numbers into dates. Dates count the start day as day 1, and each food begins the day after the previous watch window closes. Figures are as of October 2026.
If a reaction shows up during a reintroduction, that food should stop and the schedule should wait. This tool does not identify which ingredient caused a reaction. It is for reference only and does not replace veterinary care. Contact your veterinarian right away if you notice symptoms or suspect a problem.
