Autoship is a benefit offered by Mondou that allows you to receive your pet’s food at the right frequency, without having to think about it. In addition to simplifying your daily routine, it gives you access to discounts on recurring orders, priority processing, the accumulation of Cuddle points, and exclusive offers.

To make the most of it, it’s important to choose a frequency that matches your pet’s actual consumption. Here’s how it works, step by step, to find the right rhythm and avoid both overstocking and running out.

Step 1: Determine how much your pet eats each day

Start by identifying your pet’s daily portion.

This information is usually indicated directly on the dog or cat food bag. It varies depending on weight, age, activity level, and the formula used.

Common examples (for reference only):

  • Dog around 20 lb (Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Shiba Inu): about 1.5 cups per day
  • Adult cat (average weight between 8 and 11 lb): about ½ cup per day

Step 2: Calculate how many days a bag lasts

Once you know the daily portion, calculate how many days your bag of food will last.

Simple formula:
Total quantity in the bag ÷ daily portion = number of days

Example:

  • 5 kg bag50 cups
  • 50 ÷ 1.5 = about 33 days

Your bag will last just over a month.

Step 3: Choose the right delivery frequency

It’s best not to wait until you completely run out before your next delivery.

Add a small safety buffer.

Recommendation:

  • Add 5 to 7 days
  • Then adjust your delivery frequency

In our example:

  • The bag lasts 33 days
  • With a 5-day buffer
  • The ideal frequency is every 4 to 5 weeks

Step 4: Adjust as needed

Your pet’s needs may change over time. That’s normal.

With Autoship, you can easily:

  • change the frequency
  • delay or move up a delivery
