DOG HEALTH GUIDANCE THAT'S RIGHT ON THE (SHINY, WET) NOSE
Join the platform that gives you a team of experts in your pocket and solutions you can use tonight—all for the cost of kibble.
YOU’RE DROWNING IN CONFLICTING ADVICE
AND WANT TO DO BETTER BY YOUR FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND.
We get it—you want your dog healthy and by your side as long as possible, but endless Googling is making you lose your mind. Every search leads to ten more questions, and you’re starting to think half of these online “experts” couldn’t tell a kidney from a piece of kibble. While other platforms either drown you in veterinary jargon or serve up generic pet advice that’s about as useful as a doggy door for a Great Dane, our veterinarians actually answer the question you’re really asking: “Just tell me what my dog needs to stay healthy.”
From nutrition to joint care to tick prevention—we’re building a proactive community of dog parents who’d rather prevent problems than panic when the next vet bill arrives.

PEOPLE B*RKING LOVE US
(AND THEIR DOGS DO, TOO)
“This is literally what every dog owner needs!!!! I’m LOVING it!! Simple, concise, easy to digest information that doesn’t make it feel intimidating at all!! It’s everything you Google for your dog in one spot… upset stomach, healthy toppers, recipes, vet access! There’s so much valuable information all in one place.”
“The most valuable part so far is how trustworthy and personalized it feels. It’s not just another site with generic dog advice—it’s built with expert input, but it also listens to us as dog parents. I love knowing that what I’m reading is backed by real research, not just opinions, and that my feedback will help shape future content.”
“They NEVER skip a meal now, are super excited about food, clean their bowls, and our dog that used to eat poop no longer does. It’s been amazing. Definitely doing this for any and all dogs I ever have!”
"I haven’t seen her so excited for food ever. She would get so tired of kibble we would have to swap it every few months, and it just wasn’t great. Even just adding these new things as kibble toppers for transitioning has got her so excited!"
“This is really so awesome. I’ve been wanting to make an appt with a nutritionist for the longest time because I would have no idea what would be missing from his diet. I really admire the work and detail you put into this and the price was so reasonable. Me (and my dogs!) are so appreciative.”
“Her fur is thicker and more lush! She’s definitely lost lbs too. We can tell she’s less bloated in her belly and doing zoomies way more regularly which to me = happy and comfortable. It’s really amazing. I mean we should have known all along that quality food is going to produce quality results!”
I tried making the bone broth and this was one of the most successful and jelly broths I've made. All three of my pups loved it!”
“I have not seen any resources that do as good of a job in supplying homemade recipes. Your recipes have all of the crucial information but laid out in an easy to understand and digestible manner. I love that the recipes are specific to certain ages and activity levels too!”
"Update: Scout is on track for weight management! He’s lost 2 lbs in the last month since I started incorporating the lightly cooked diet. He’s loving the variety compared to the boring green beans.”
“Fur is no longer sticky but soft and clean. All of the blackness on his skin is pink and clear again. He’s shedding but all bald areas on his chest and such are full of hair now. I used to pet him, and my hands would be black and dirty, but now nothing!”

HELPING YOU DECODE YOUR DOG’S HEALTH WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK (OR YOUR BRAIN)

But here’s what your vet might not have time to cover in your 30 minute consultation: the exact anti-inflammatory recipe that actually helps with joint stiffness, the specific tick treatment that’ll work best for your dog, or the precise supplement protocol that supports cancer prevention. That’s where we come in.

PACK A BOWL THAT PACKS A PUNCH
(OF BENEFITS)
We don't deserve dogs, but we can spend our lives trying—and that starts with what we put in their bowls. When you decide to go the extra mile at mealtime, here's what you might notice (other than immediate entry into the Clean Bowl Club):
A softer, shinier coat
(guaranteed to increase pets)
Noticeably fresher breath
(without the daily dental chews)
Improved digestion for healthier, more regular poops (and mess-free clean-ups)
Increased energy for longer walks and playtime (clear your schedule, it's fetch time)
These aren't just fancy claims—they're real-deal changes you'll see in your best bud. And it all starts with ditching the "same food, different day" mentality and giving your dog a dish worth drooling over.
“THIS IS BASICALLY THE HOLY GRAIL OF RESOURCES, GUIDANCE, AND SUPPORT FOR FEEDING YOUR DOG FRESH IN THE SIMPLEST WAY POSSIBLE. IT ELIMINATES OVERWHELM AND GIVES YOU THE CONFIDENCE TO PROVIDE BETTER FOR YOUR PUP AT ANY LEVEL.”
“THIS WOULD'VE SAVED ME 3 YEARS OF MY LIFE NO, BUT SERIOUSLY, A LOT OF TIME, EVERYTHING IS CENTRALIZED”
$5,000 IN VET BILLS LATER...
When our founder rescued Luna, she got more than just a new best friend—she inherited a laundry list of health issues. After a year of middle-of-the-night accidents, over $5,000 in vet bills, and enough liquid sh*t to consider buying stock in poop bags, enough was enough.
That’s when the power of fresh feeding entered the picture. But between overpriced custom recipes and conflicting advice, the journey wasn’t exactly a walk in the dog park. Through trial, error, and a brief “hide-how-skinny-Luna-is” jacket phase, Luna’s magic formula was finally cracked (spoiler: it wasn’t magic—it was science).
The result? A happy, healthy Luna with a glossy coat, solid poops, and a newfound love for mealtime. Even better? No emergency vet visits for over 4 years and counting.
Now, we’re dishing out everything we’ve learned, backed by a team of fresh-feeding-friendly vets and the world’s most supportive community. The Doggy Dish® is here to help you skip the struggle and go straight to giving your pup the fresh start they deserve—without the overwhelming research, pricey custom plans, or “what died?” diarrhea.
