Gino loves his Balanced Remedy diet!! Thank you for all your help!!
Our Story
The single most important element to a Pet’s life (after he has found the love of his human) is his daily diet.
The food you put in your pet’s body, more than anything else, will determine his future health, happiness, energy level and perhaps even his vet bills. We do three things here – we make daily food for healthy dogs and cats, we make a line of prescription food for dogs with specific illnesses and we make custom formulations for sick dogs and cats. And we do it all using ingredients that are 100% certified for human consumption by the USDA. We cook our food minimally in order to maximize the nutritional value and we do it in one of our four kitchens: Newport Beach, West Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, and Manhattan Beach, California. Our food is also available in our Pantry locations: Capistrano Beach, Downtown Los Angeles, Anaheim Hills, and Long Beach, California. Our method is much more hands on, it takes longer and costs more but it retains the nutritional value of the ingredients and, in our view, makes it the best food in the world for your dog.
Vets & Sick Dogs
A whole food diet is never more important
for your dog than when his health is challenged.
We provide a variety of solutions to support
your dog’s health and well being.
JustLearning
At JustFoodForDogs we never stop learning.
We are constantly researching dog health and dog nutrition
and we teach pet parents about it in our dog kitchens and pantries.
We are constantly experimenting with new healthy food ideas,
studying the dog food industry and dog food brands.
JustCause
We opened JustFoodForDogs in January 2011 and thanks
to all of you it has been a massive success from day one.
Over the past three years we have made a genuine effort to help dogs in need.
On occasion we have organized fund raising for the benefit of rescues
but more often we have simply donated our own time, effort and cash.
Just From You

No more allergy flare ups since JustFoodForDogs!
After we rescued Loki we quickly learned he had many medical issues. We spent several trips to the vets for allergy flare ups not matter what precautions we took. He had allergy tests done and even went through a series of treatments for them. Last year he had pancreatitis three times. Twice within months of each other. His last round of pancreatitis left him in the hospital for a few days. The vets recommended JustFoodForDogs to us and informed us Loki seemed to like the food while there. Loki has been on the Balanced Remedy diet since October of last year and hasn't had any allergy flare ups and has only visited the vet for his annual check up. We were use to vet visits every other month. Loki has never paid much attention to his food before and now he will carry his bowl to us when he knows it dinner time. Loki loves his JustFoodForDogs and we love how much healthier and better he feels. Thanks!

Why do Dogs Eat Their Poop?
Dog Photograph by DogmaPetPortraits.com When dogs eat their poop, it’s called coprophagia; the thought of it sounds absolutely disgusting.

But dogs aren’t’ rabbits (and humans think it’s […]
