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 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. Learn More Just Learning 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 Just Cause 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. Learn More 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. Learn more 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. Learn more Delivered to your door. JustFoodForDogs can be picked up, shipped almost anywhere in the country, or we can deliver directly to your home or office in most parts of Orange County or Los Angeles.

Learn more Just From You A blessing to us all! My beloved retired racing greyhound, Shadow, has been fighting an aggressive form of cancer. He has fought to stay with us through everything he always finds the strength to meet me at the door each day so we can walk at the park or beach. He is nearing the end of his race and had lost interest in eating until we found Just Food for Dogs. He GOBBLES his food which has given him the strength to keep enjoying his favorite activities. His quality of life is once again excellent now that he loves to eat again. Thank you for your work and kindness! It means so much to us all! Robert Rayburn DIY Day! Dog food making day at our house!
