What do we mean by “natural food”?

Recognisable ingredients

Natural food starts with ingredients you can actually recognise: fresh meat, vegetables, oils and clearly listed supplements. Our recipes are prepared with high-quality ingredients, so you always know exactly what your dog is eating every day.

Recipes with no additives

Natural nutrition means no artificial flavours or synthetic preservatives. We use gentle preservation methods to keep our ingredients fresh – without artificial additives. This meets the expectations of owners looking for premium food that is healthier and more authentic.

Gentle cooking and freshness

Low-temperature, gentle cooking helps preserve essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. It supports optimal nutritional quality while ensuring food safety – resulting in meals that are tasty, safe and highly digestible.

Complete and balanced formulation

“Natural” doesn’t mean approximate. A healthy diet still needs to be complete, with a precise balance of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibre and minerals. Our recipes are formulated with canine nutrition experts to match dogs’ biological needs.

Why is it important to feed your dog naturally?

A direct impact on health
Your dog’s diet influences digestion, weight, coat quality and energy levels. A balanced ration made with fresh, carefully selected ingredients supports digestive comfort and overall well-being.

Better everyday digestion
Fresh meals – rich in quality meat and natural fibres—are generally easier to digest than industrial dry foods. Simple, appropriate ingredients support long-term gut comfort.

A shiny coat and healthy skin
A diet rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants supports skin and coat quality. Omega-3 and omega-6 help keep the coat glossy and limit skin dryness

Better-controlled nutrient intake
With food formulated by experts, protein, fat and mineral levels are precisely measured. Energy intake can then be tailored to your dog’s needs, supporting a healthy weight.

The essential ingredients for a healthy diet

A natural diet relies on a few key pillars. The foundation is a high-quality animal protein source – such as chicken, beef or fish – providing essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.

We add a variety of vegetables for fibre and vitamins, as well as oils rich in fatty acids for skin and coat. Finally, balanced vitamin and mineral supplements complete the ration to cover all of your dog’s nutritional needs.

Each ingredient is selected for its benefits, ensuring healthy, complete and tasty meals day after day.

Complete, controlled rations

An improvised home-cooked ration can be unbalanced without expert nutritional oversight. Our recipes are developed by specialists to ensure a complete nutritional profile, with no deficiencies.

ortions are calculated based on your dog’s unique profile, removing the common dosing errors of daily home cooking.
A practical, flexible service

Homemade meals require strict daily organisation. We deliver Dog Chef boxes straight to your door, ready to serve.

You can freely adjust delivery frequency and mix fresh meals with kibble – while staying fully flexible and commitment-free.

Transitioning from kibble to fresh meals

Switching from industrial dry food to fresh food should be done gradually to protect digestion. We suggest introducing our meals in small amounts, then increasing the fresh portion as your dog gets used to it.

This allows their digestive system to adapt smoothly.

75% kibble + 25% Dog Chef meals (mixed)
