We don’t believe in low standards; every recipe we create reflects our core values: sustainability, equality between pets and people, and a belief that modern pet parents deserve better choices. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Small Family Brand: We’re not a huge venture-backed company. We’re a small family company that produces organic dog food because of our love for dogs. We stick to premium quality ingredients, and we never compromise our standards.
- Superior Ingredients: We use organic products. This includes wild-harvested and humanely raised meats, and organic grains and vegetables.
- Gently Cooked Fresh Food: We gently cook our meals at lower temperatures to ensure digestibility, flavor, and nutrient density. This is because dogs deserve better than over-processed Kibble. Many of our recipes also serve as excellent high-protein dog food choices, perfect for active, growing, and thriving dogs.
- Convenient Fresh Food Cubes: Our fresh food is frozen into small, easy-to-use cubes for your convenience.
- Sustainable Packaging: We use compostable bioplastics and renewable paper materials. This protects our furry friends and the planet.
Why Organic Dog Food?
Choosing organic dog food is about protecting your dog from unnecessary chemicals, synthetic additives, and low-quality ingredients that too often fill many pet foods. It means providing clean, nutrient-dense grains, fresh vegetables, and responsibly sourced meats like the organic chicken we use. We produce the kind of food that truly fuels their vitality.
Our organic, gently cooked dog food is built around one simple belief: if it’s not good enough for us humans, it’s not good enough for our dogs.
When you go organic, you're choosing fresher food, richer nutrition, and a safer future for your dog.
Fresh Food vs. Kibble
We’ll say it openly: kibble just can’t compare. It’s an inferior brand in comparison to our organic food. Kibble is mass-produced using extreme heat that strips away natural nutrients and leaves behind heavily processed, chemically treated remnants.
Our organic dog food is different. It’s gently cooked to preserve more of the natural vitamins, minerals, and flavors dogs need and crave. It’s safer, more digestible, and filled with ingredients you can actually recognize — not mystery powders and preservatives. And it comes in both grain-free and grain-inclusive options, giving every dog the chance to thrive on food that fits their unique needs.
Fresh isn’t a luxury. It’s what dogs deserve.

We know fresh feeding can sound unrealistic — but it doesn’t have to be. Just grab one cube, let them defrost overnight, and serve. No stress. With California Dog Kitchen, you get all the benefits of fresh, organic, gently cooked meals, with the convenience busy modern pet parents need.
