About
At JustFoodForDogs, we believe that every dog deserves real food made with the same quality ingredients we'd feed our own families. Founded in 2010 by Shawn Buckley after he discovered what was legally allowed in conventional dog food, we set out to revolutionize pet nutrition by creating meals that are genuinely healthy, transparent, and backed by science. We are a team of passionate pet lovers, veterinarians, and nutritionists who share a common purpose: improving the length and quality of life for as many dogs as possible through real food and evidence-based nutrition. Our unique open-kitchen concept allows pet parents to watch their dog's meals being made right before their eyes - no closed doors, no hidden processes. This commitment to transparency is at the heart of everything we do. Our recipes are formulated by a team of board-certified veterinary nutritionists using 100% human-grade, USDA-certified ingredients. We were the first pet food company to conduct humane feeding trials at major universities, and our research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, demonstrating that our fresh whole-food diets are up to 40% more digestible than traditional kibble. At JustFoodForDogs, we don't just make dog food - we're advancing the future of canine nutrition.
