More life.
More years.
More love.

Hand crafted food for your pets,
so they can live a longer,
happier, healthier life.

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.

Get Started

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.

Cooked Fresh.

At JustFoodForDogs we start with the highest quality, USDA certified meats, fresh vegetables and whole grains – all of which are approved for human consumption. We gently cook our products to the minimum temperature levels, maximizing the nutritional delivery to your dog.

Packaged Frozen.

Cooking with fresh ingredients and instantly freezing is a far superior method of making food for dogs because the nourishment is not lost in the process. At JustFoodForDogs we never use any preservatives and our food is vacuum sealed and frozen immediately to lock in the nutrients that are available naturally in unprocessed food.

Just From You

She loves her JFFD food!!

I think the service you provide is great/wonderful!! At 9 months my fur baby stopped eating her kibble, and I starting making her meals. I have a Yorkie Terrier just over a year old. She's very picky and sometimes she wouldn't eat. I tried everything from adding a little yogurt, cottage cheese or something that I know she liked. My friend told me about your company and she bought a few items for me. My puppy is now eating all her food, without me having to hand feed her or coax her. I love that fact that I don't have to worry or think twice about what I'm feeding her, it's healthy and natural.

I'm now giving her the Chicken/White Rice and Apple Bark treats, and she loves it all. I'll be trying your other recipes in the months to come.

Thank you thank you!!

My lil girl Esmeralda thanks you also!!

Understanding Anxiety in Dogs
If you or a loved one has ever dealt with anxiety, then you know that it can be physically and emotionally exhausting to get through the day. The same is true for dogs.

Dog Diarrhea: What Does It Mean?
The truth is in the poop. That’s right, we said it! Keeping an eye on our dog’s stools, albeit not the most appealing activity, is one of the ways we monitor his or her health. We don’t like to think about the inevitable diarrhea days (and the mess that comes with them), but they do […]

Top Concerns For Aging Dogs
As much as we wish they would stay puppies forever, we cannot prevent our pups from aging. We can, though, take measures to allow them to live as happy as possible during their golden years.

Do Pets Get Depressed?
Have you ever thought about how your pets process emotions?
