The Filthy 5
We avoid five categories of ingredients and cooking methods, which research has shown are contributing to dogs decreased life expectancy. With 50% of dogs today developing cancer after the age of ten, we never use cancer-causing ingredients or cooking methods.
“Meals”
Powders like “Chicken Meal” can contain meat from diseased livestock.
Feed-Grade Ingredients
Most dog food is made from ingredients that don't pass the same regulations that human food does.
Preservatives
Preservatives can keep pet foods shelf-stable for years.
Artificial Flavours & Colours
Processed dog food uses artificial flavours and colours to make their food taste more palatable and look 'better'.
Extrusion
Kibble is extremely processed under high-heat pressure causing carcinogens, a known cancer-causer.
How we made
dog food healthy:
Human-Grade Ingredients
We use 100% human-grade ingredients in our recipes. We lightly steam our food to ensure that it's easily digestible and more bioavailable, meaning that our dogs retain the nutrients they need to thrive.
Vet-Developed Plans
A vet-designed plan is customized to your dog’s individual needs. You can choose from a Topper or Full Meal Plan and select up to three AAFCO-compliant fresh recipes, to be delivered right to your door.
Made in Ontario, Canada
Our food is made in a HACCP and CFIA approved facility in Ontario using local provincial meat. We test every single batch produced for common pathogens - because dogs deserve safe food, too.
What pet parents are saying.
Peach + Vannia
"Ever since I started feeding Dog Standards, Peach has been so much happier and energetic. Her gut health seems to be doing so much better, with her digestion actually being consistent. I've also noticed eye discharge she used to get has disappeared. She now jumps for joy at every single meal, when it used to be a struggle to get her to eat."
Mary + Hugo
"I have THE pickiest dog on planet earth. I’ve tried raw, kibble, wet, air-dried dog food, he wouldn't touch any of it. We started my 9 month old puppy on Dog Standards and WOW… he LOVES this food. It is working so well with him. I love that it is fresh food and not processed. I am going to recommend this to all of my friends with fur babies. 1000/10."
Cheyene + Winchester
"Dog Standards is amazing! I’m so sad that my dog went 2 years without this food. He is the pickiest Dachshund in the world and he is obsessed with this food. It looks and smells great - I can see the ingredients and it is all real food! My heart is happy knowing my dog is getting the best food possible."

FAQ
What if my dog doesn't like it?
We know that finding the perfect diet for your dog can be a stressful experience for a dog parent. That's why we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first box of Dog Standards. If they don't lick their bowl clean, it's on us.
How does the meal plan work?
We ask a few key questions about your dog and then our vet nutritionists create a customized meal plan for their unique nutritional needs. Our recipes come pre-portioned for your dog, all you need to do is defrost and serve. You can create your custom meal plan here.
What's the difference between the Recommended Plan and Topper Plan?
The difference between our Recommended Plan and Topper Plan is that with our Recommended Plan we send you 100% of the food that your dog will need for 2 weeks. With the Topper Plan, we will send you 50% portions of the food that your dog will need for 2 weeks. For the Topper Plan, you are required to mix with 50% of your dog's usual food.
How do I know how much to feed?
In your first box, we will send you a custom feeding guideline with your dog's name on it which will explain in detail how to properly transition your pup to Dog Standards, and exactly how much to feed by the cup or gram.
Do I have to refrigerate the food?
Once your food arrives you should transfer it to the freezer and place 1-2 packs in the fridge to defrost overnight, based your feeding guideline. You can continue transferring packs from the freezer to the fridge to defrost as often as your dog requires a new pack.
How do I transition my dog?
For dogs who have never tried fresh food before, we recommend a 7-day period for transition from their previous diet to Dog Standards fresh food. Keep in mind that all dogs are different! Your dog might need up to 14 days to transition properly, and some dogs may be able to handle a quicker transition.
