Choosing us means choosing higher-quality ingredients, fresher food, and a company that focuses on your dog’s well-being over the bottom line. Unlike kibble (dry dog food), which is an inferior option, we at the California Dog Kitchen maintain high-quality, human-grade food for your pup.
Here at California Dog Kitchen, we focus on digestibility, food safety, and real flavor. Cooking at lower temperatures protects more natural nutrients, resulting in meals that are easier on your dog’s stomach.
We proudly use organic dog food ingredients to support a healthier lifestyle.
The California Dog Kitchen Difference
At California Dog Kitchen, we believe fresh, nutritious food isn't just a luxury; it’s what every dog
deserves. We redefine what dog food should be by using real ingredients, thoughtful
preparation, and an honest approach.
Here’s what makes us different:
- 100% Human-Grade Ingredients: If it’s not fit for your plate, it’s not fit for your pup’s, either.
- Premium Meats: We use wild-harvested and organic meats - the best of the best, sourced carefully to provide your dog with the high-quality proteins they deserve.
- Organic Grains and Vegetables: Organic, nutrient-rich produce for health, packed with natural vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support overall well-being.
- Minimal Supplements: Only 5–6 supplement ingredients, compared to the 13–17 found in many other competing brands.
- Grain-Free and Grain-Inclusive Recipes: We offer both grain-free and grain-inclusive recipes, giving you options that fit your dog’s unique needs. This is because the best diet is the one that makes your dog thrive, and every dog is different.
The Benefits of Gently Cooked Small Batch Dog Food
We gently cook our meals at low temperatures to preserve the natural nutrition in every bite. High-heat processing (like what’s used in dry kibble and canned food) strips away many of the beneficial enzymes, vitamins, and flavor.
Gently cooked food is also safer and more digestible, preserving more nutrients and offering the natural flavors dogs love and crave at mealtime.
FAQs About Our Small Batch Dog Food
What is Small Batch Dog Food?
Small batch dog food is made in limited quantities, allowing for stricter quality control and fresher ingredients. Unlike mass-produced pet foods, small batch recipes prioritize nutrition and your dog’s overall well-being.
Is Your Dog Food Suitable For All Breeds and Ages?
Yes! Our carefully balanced recipes are designed to meet the nutritional needs of dogs across all life stages, ranging from small breed dog food to large breed dog food. We also offer senior breed dog food. However, if your dog has specific health concerns, we always recommend consulting your veterinarian.
It’s also important to note that proper nutrition should be part of a holistic approach to health, and should not replace a visit to the veterinarian.
How Should I Transition My Dog to California Dog Kitchen Food?
Transitioning is easy. We recommend gradually mixing our small batch food with your dog's current food over 7–10 days, slowly increasing the proportion of California Dog Kitchen food each day. This gentle shift helps your dog’s digestive system adjust smoothly.
How Do I Store and Serve Small Batch Dog Food?
Our food is conveniently frozen into cubes. Simply store the food in your freezer, thaw overnight in the refrigerator when needed, and give it to your dog. It's fresh feeding made easy – no preservatives needed.
