Better Dog Food - Gently-cooked for Best Nutrition

We come from a human food production background and the strictest standards there are. We apply our knowledge in food safety to this process, working with restaurants for proper handling and most importantly testing our product and facility regularly for pathogens and harmful components.

We are working with kitchens who make large quantities of the same thing for their customers. Every batch is going to be the same ingredients in the same proportions!

We blend and dehydrate the ingredients through a precisely monitored low-heat process (140F-170F) that maintains nutrition of fats, increases bioavailability of amino acids, but kills pathogens; creating a nutritious, shelf-stable product that’s as safe to serve as kibble.

When any kitchen is preparing food, there are parts that don’t get used. Or ingredients that are only slightly used then discarded. We collect these parts before they’re combined with any spices or sauces, so there’s never any potential contaminants. We combine them in the proportions that are best for your dog’s health, their energy, and their poop!

Right here is the only place! We’re just getting off the ground and starting with the most direct way to get you the food – home delivery. We’re from Austin, are working with Austin restaurants, serving Austin residents. Local circular economy. If you’d like to find us in your favorite pet retailer, have them reach out to us!

Yes! Not all the ingredients needed for complete & balanced are available as restaurant scraps so we add just enough of a whole food supplement to round out the nutrition. As we find other whole food ingredients that add the right nutrients from restaurants, we’ll swap those out.

Feeding & transition instructions will come with your first order and are available here. This food has no fillers, so it’s more dense than others. Medium sized-dogs (30-50 lb) should be fed around 1.5 cups of food (around 6-8 oz) a day, but real-world feeding can vary. At this rate one bag should last around a week.

When transitioning to DoggieBag, do so slowly over a period of about 7–10 days, mixing an increasing amount of DoggieBag with old food each day: Start with 75% old food mixed with 25% DoggieBag for days 1-3. Then mix 50% old with 50% DoggieBag for days 4-6, 25% old with 75% DoggieBag for days 7-9 and 100% DoggieBag on day 10. Some dogs need more transition than others. If your dog’s poop becomes too irregular or too soft, slow down the transition. It’s normal for a food change to cause some poop changes.

The nutrition in this food is complete & balanced but also we don’t use the additives that other foods use to make their poop color the same as humans. Based on the ingredients in DoggieBag you may notice a lightening of the stool during transition and beyond. This is normal and as long as it’s solid and formed, as usual, there’s no need for concern.

In recent studies both grains and legumes have been tied to health problems in dogs. Our food contains only animal nutrition and fruits/veggies with some micro-nutrient supplementation. We never have any grains/legumes/artificial ingredients.
