Fresh, Healthier Custom Food for Dogs & Cats

Health Benefits

The health benefits of a fresh, whole-foods diet include improved digestion, weight management, a shiny coat, clear eyes, fresh breath, and overall wellness – not to mention a happier pup!

But don’t take our word for it; read the latest research demonstrating that a fresh pet food diet made of human-grade ingredients is highly digestible!

Real Food

A fresh, whole-foods diet made up of high-quality meats, vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, and good fats is simply more healthful than processed food or feed.

Processed pet food/feed uses preservatives, salt, sweeteners, saturated fat, artificial colors, and flavor enhancers to promote shelf stability, texture, and palatability. We are proudly not shelf stable!

At Paul’s Custom Pet Food, we take sourcing seriously. Many ingredients in our recipes are sourced from farms within 50 miles of our commercial kitchen in Northwest Connecticut.

We know our farmers and food producers by name and take pride in sourcing ethically every ingredient that goes into your pet’s bowl and treats.

The answer led us to form Paul’s Custom Pet Food with only one goal in mind — to make fresh, ethically sourced, gently cooked, and wholesome food — not feed — for your companion animals.

The story begins with Hunter’s diagnosis…
