JustFoodForDogs

Independently owned Fresh / DTC 1 recall high

The only brand in this database with completed AAFCO feeding trials AND peer-reviewed published research (6 studies, including University of Illinois digestibility work). Open-kitchen retail model, vet-support Rx line, no subscription required. One recall (2018, listeria risk from a green bean supplier, no illnesses).

JustFoodForDogs is independently owned (L Catterton-backed). Of the 4 foods we hold, 4 publish a guaranteed analysis, 4 a calorie statement, 4 an ingredient list and 4 an AAFCO adequacy statement. 2 of those statements rest on animal feeding tests rather than formulation alone. Those counts are what the transparency mark above records — how we read a label.

Pricing

Premium-priced: roughly $6–7/day for a 15 lb dog and $13+/day for a 40 lb dog per 2026 third-party tests. 50% off first Autoship.

Prices are not label data: they come from the brand's published rates and 2026 third-party pricing tests, they change without notice, and they are the one figure on this site we cannot verify against a label. Calorie cost is the comparable number — work it out per 1,000 kcal.
