Hi, we’re For the Love of Dutch
Our mission is to feed, nurture, and nourish your pet with our ready-to-serve, handcrafted, small batch meals made with fresh, seasonal produce and sustainably sourced meat from local farms.
We love pets - and we love caring for them with socially responsible practices. We honor this commitment by supporting local farmers and sourcing less beautiful, nutrient-rich produce and less talked about organ meat to save food waste.
Every choice we make is driven to boost their health, wellness and vitality.
When we feed our dogs with natural food, we feed not only their stomachs, but also their souls.

Why For the Love of Dutch
WE NOURISH THE NATURAL WAY WITH A VARIETY OF RECIPES
Our recipes are made with nutrient-rich fresh, seasonal produce and sustainably sourced meat. We know all our farms and farmers, so we know exactly where all our ingredients come from. Also - we use organic as much as possible, and here’s why: Organic is healthier and easier on our pets’ organs since it is free of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. So, it’s a special and conscious choice we make to deliver a diet more nourishing to your pet’s digestive system. We also offer a variety of blends to alternate between in order to optimize your pet’s health.
HANDCRAFTED & READY TO SERVE
You and your family are busier than ever. And it’s difficult to handcraft meals for your human family - let alone your fur children. Let us do the heavy lifting when it comes to feeding, nurturing, and nourishing your pets. Every one of our dishes is ready-to-serve in seconds. We handcraft the blends ourselves which means you are serving your pet a consciously crafted meal.
IT’S HEALTHY FOR EVERYTHING INVOLVED
This does the world - and earth - and your dog good, too. We support local farmers and sourcing less beautiful, nutrient-rich produce and less talked about organ meat to save food waste. As well, our blends deliver health benefits to your pets that we’ve seen in our own dogs. From increasing vitality to balancing their gut to building muscles, our handcrafted blends have the potential to give your pet a whole new swagger.

Food Worth Barking About
“My dogs are LOVING this! We have four dogs and I decided that enough was enough! I wanted to give our boys the veggies they needed to be healthy and strong. We used to just give them dry kibble, but now we do 1/3 kibble, 1/3 For the Love of Dutch, 1/3 sliced carrots.
You can see how happy and healthy they are now. Makes this Dog mom SO proud! Thank you!”
- Shelley S.
“I am so glad I found For the Love of Dutch food for my straight haired labradoodle, Carly, recommended by our vet, Dr. Schacht. Carly is a picky eater who will let her dry food sit out for hours. When I put For the Love of Dutch's healthy and apparently delicious food in Carly’s bowl she eats it immediately. Ordering is easy and delivery to my house is always as promised.”
- David S.
“They go above and beyond to source FRESH local ingredients that are organic and great for my dog's health. With ingredients you can read and feel good about making part of your dogs routine. I subscribed for the weekly delivery and it comes fresh straight to my door. Elio is obsessed with it and he's always excited to have his next meal. Thank you to the team for making caring for my pet so easy!”
