Why Go Fresh?
Many dog owners feed their dogs kibble, thinking it’s a nutritious and quick option. When, in actual fact, kibble is highly processed and not great for the health of our pets. Lots of nutrients are lost during the heating process, which means pet food companies will add in synthetic nutrients and extra flavor to enhance their foul-tasting food.
Kibble also doesn’t have a lot of moisture, which can actually lead to dehydration in your poor pup. With a high risk of bacteria and added chemicals that can be harmful to your dog, it’s no wonder that so many concerned pet parents are turning to fresh dog food instead.
Fresh food is actually so much better for our pups. Packed with minerals and vitamins, our fresh food here at California Dog Kitchen has so many more benefits than kibble, giving your dog:
- A beautiful glossy coat
- Higher levels of energy
- A stronger immune system
- Better digestion
All About Our Fresh Dog Food
All our recipes are designed by a PhD vet nutritionist and are lab-tested to ensure they’re up to standard. As we mentioned above, we only use human-grade ingredients in our recipe, which means your dog gets healthy, delicious, and nutritious meals morning and night.
We also use gentle steam cooking methods without the need for cooking oils or sprays.
We offer both grain-free and grain-inclusive options so you can choose the best for your dog. We also offer pea free dog food.

We believe our pets deserve the best food they can get, which is why we bring the joy and health benefits of cooked, human-grade food to dogs all over California and beyond.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fresh Dog Food
Is It Better For Dogs to Eat Fresh Food?
Absolutely! Unlike kibble, our fresh dog food isn’t full of artificial preservatives or ingredients that can harm your dog. Our fresh food is made from organic vegetables and grains, as well as premium meats, which are all known to improve your pup’s immune system, help ease digestion, stop issues like tummy pain and bloating, and help manage your pup’s weight.
Our dogs are our babies, and they deserve the best food we can give them.
What is the Best Fresh Food to Feed Your Dog?
The best fresh food for dogs should include healthy and organic ingredients, such as lean proteins like chicken or beef, organic and fresh vegetables like carrots, and whole grains.
Every single one of our recipes contains the best ingredients for your pup’s health.
Do Dogs Live Longer On a Fresh Diet?
Yes! Studies have actually found that feeding your dog healthy, fresh dog food can help them live longer. Even introducing as little as 20% of fresh food into your dog’s diet can make a huge difference in their health, preventing obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions that may harm your dog. We've got dog food specifically approved for senior dogs, too.
How Many Times a Day Should a Dog Eat?
There’s no one rule for how many times a dog should eat a day, as this can depend on the type and age of your dog. However, a good rule of thumb for adults is two meals a day, whereas you may be looking up to four meals a day for puppies.
If you’re unsure, ask your vet!
