Custom Dog Food
A One-of-a-Kind Meal for a One-of-a-Kind Pet
Custom Fresh Food Made Just For Your Pet
Your pet’s health is unique, which means their diet should reflect their individual needs. Sometimes, what a pet needs can’t be found in a diet off-the-shelf. In partnership with your veterinarian, JustFoodForDogs helps make the process of creating a personalized recipe simple

Here's How It Works:
1. Tell Us About Your Pet
Complete and submit the Custom Diet Questionnaire to begin the process. Our team will review your submission and contact your veterinarian directly to obtain your pet's most recent medical records and a veterinary referral, if appropriate.
To help us safely and thoughtfully evaluate your dog's needs, we will request recent medical records from your veterinarian, including bloodwork (CBC, chemistry panel, and urinalysis completed within the last 6 months, if available).
Once we have received and reviewed the necessary information from your veterinarian, our clinical nutrition team will determine whether your dog qualifies for a custom diet.
Formulation Fee:
If your dog is approved for a custom diet, a $500 formulation fee will be required to begin.
Estimated Food Cost:
For a 30 lb. moderately active dog, a 4-week supply typically ranges from $600 to $900+ but can vary depending on protein choice and specific dietary needs.
2. We Review & Personalize
Our Veterinary Team carefully reviews your dog’s information to determine the best nutritional approach. If a custom diet is the right fit, we’ll create a recipe tailored specifically to support their health and wellbeing.
3. Fresh Meals, Delivered to You
Once your dog’s recipe is finalized, we get to work in our kitchen preparing fresh, whole-food meals made just for them. Each order is carefully packed and delivered straight to your door.
What to Expect
From submission to your first delivery, the process typically takes 4–6 weeks or longer, depending on the complexity of your dog’s needs.
