About

At JustFoodForDogs, we offer the world’s first line of clinically proven, independently researched, specialist-approved, fresh whole food Veterinary Support and Daily Diets. We are leading the evolution in pet nutrition knowledge through scientific discovery. Forward-thinking veterinarians and pet owners no longer accept feed-grade foods (and their highly processed ingredients) as the best nutrition to give to their pets.

Our Mission

Our mission is to transform our pets’ health through nutrition, and veterinarians are our most valued partners.

Our daily recipes are the only whole food diets proven healthy through independent university research and are featured in four peer-reviewed publications: Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Journal of Animal Science, Translational Animal Science, and Toxicology Communications.

Our line of Daily Diets have undergone humane feeding trials through independent universities. Simply put, no fresh brand is more robustly researched.

Our Research

Independent research scientifically confirms what we have been observing for over a decade:

  • Real food is healthier
  • Can be up to 40% more digestible
  • Can result in up to 66% less fecal volume when compared to kibble

Pioneering research is investigating the impact of JustFoodForDogs diets on markers of inflammation, the integrity of the skin and coat, the microbiome, and on the link between processed foods and chronic disease.

Our Concept

We use only ingredients inspected and approved by the USDA for human consumption to maximize bioavailability and quality and to minimize potential contaminants and toxins. We cook the food to minimum safe temperatures established by the FDA in our own kitchens—nothing is raw. Our food is prepared fresh daily, instantly chilled, packaged and then frozen. Refrigeration is our only preservative.

We work closely with board-certified specialists in various fields on the development of our veterinary line of diets, and our staff nutritionist regularly tests our food and ingredients through independent laboratories. Our human-grade line of veterinary supplements is developed by our board-certified veterinary toxicologist and professor at Western University, Dr. John Tegzes, VMD, Dipl. ABVT, for purity and efficacy.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to improve your patients’ quality of life through proven whole food nutrition.
