Origin Story
Our rescue dog, Tess, was suffering. Her allergies were so bad that no brand of pet food—no matter how expensive or “premium”—could bring her relief. We tried everything. Finally, at our wit’s end, the vet suggested the unthinkable: make her food from scratch to uncover what was causing the problem.
Real Food Solution
As a chef and nutrition instructor, I was skeptical—dog food wasn’t exactly my culinary specialty. But love has a way of pushing you into new territories. So, I dove into the research, determined to understand what dogs truly need to thrive. What I discovered surprised me: everything Tess required for a balanced, healthy life could come from real, wholesome food.
​
As I began sharing Tess’s story with friends, I realized she wasn’t alone. So many dogs were struggling with the same silent battle — itching, discomfort, and endless “special” foods that never really helped. That’s when it hit me: the food I was making for Tess could change more lives than just hers.
Restaurant Quality
That spark became A Chef’s Best Friend. We bring high-quality, chef-crafted meals straight to your home, made with the same care and classical cooking techniques used in professional kitchens. We source our ingredients from the same trusted suppliers that restaurants rely on — because our dogs deserve the same standard of excellence we expect for ourselves.
Every recipe is meticulously analyzed and certified to exceed canine nutritional requirements — without a single added vitamin or synthetic nutrient. The nutrition comes 100% from real, whole food.
Delivered to You
Once each meal is perfectly portioned and packed, we deliver it straight to your door — ready for your best friend to enjoy.
You’ll receive your own insulated cooler bag to place on your porch. Our team will bring your dog’s meals directly to you, so you never have to worry about running out. For subscriptions, we deliver two weeks’ worth of wholesome, chef-prepared food at a time — convenience and quality in one.
​
Every recipe is frozen at peak freshness to lock in nutrients and flavor. When it’s mealtime, simply thaw in the fridge or warm it gently — your dog will know something special is coming.
