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 healthy food for dogs and healthy food for cats daily, 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, including supplements for dogs, 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.

Best dog food ever
My Maltese Zoey is so picky. I cook for her once a week, rice, peas, sweet potatoes and chicken. After three years it is very tiring. I finally found a place that believes and follows the same recipes that I do for my dog. They go the extra mile by making sure the nutrients are still left in the food so Zoey gets a great meal and a healthy body. It's been a week and Zoey didn't eat for a day or two. After she tried the food she cleans her plate in minutes. My dog is the pickiest dog you will meet. If she loves it I am sure all dogs will love it. Keep up the great work and I hope your company continued success.
