About Just Food For Dogs
“Our love for dogs is truly the guide upon which we base our product and business.” - Shawn Buckley
It all starts with nutrition. The single most important element to a dog's life,(after he has found the love of his family) is his daily diet. The food you put in your dog's body, more than anything else, will determine his future health, happiness, energy level and perhaps even his vet bills. 100% of the ingredients we use to make JustFoodForDogs are certified for human consumption by the USDA. All of our dog recipes are cooked at minimum levels in our own kitchens in Newport Beach and West Hollywood, California. They are not a 'factory' or a 'plant' certified to make dog food but kitchens that have never seen the presence of even one 'feed quality' ingredient - ever. This 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 JustFoodForDogs the best food in the world for your dog.
