Why Homemade Dog Food?

When our adopted dogs Bea and Jax began suffering from health issues, we found ourselves in need of specialized food. As we searched for dietary solutions, we learned that most dog food is mass-produced and supplemented with excessive amounts of sugar, salt, and animal by-products – in addition to chemicals and toxins designed to increase shelf life. 

Most disturbing of all, we learned that standard store-bought food negatively affects the health and well-being of our furry friends. Poor quality diets lead to malnutrition, allergic reactions, toxicity, obesity, shortened lifespans, and even death.

We knew our dogs deserved better. We ditched the canned and dried food in favor of fresh meals made in our own kitchen. We selected wholesome ingredients and added the right balance of supplements to support our dogs’ health. And thus, Barkin’ Creek Dog Kitchen was born!

We love making these nutritious meals available to pups beyond our doors. Ready to refine your dog’s diet? Check out our meals, snacks, and bark.

How To Switch Your Pup’s Diet: The 20% Transition Rule

If dry food has been your go-to, you’ll need to gradually transition your dog to fresh meals to prevent indigestion. We recommend the same approach even when switching between fresh Barkin’ Creek meal options.

To ensure a smooth adjustment, use the 20% Transition Rule. Over a period of five days, replace 20% of your dog’s meal with Barkin’ Creek food, increasing by 20% each day. By the fifth day, your baby will be munching on 100% fresh food. (For dogs with sensitive stomachs, increase the transition period to 7 to ten days).
