What is the difference between our two kitchens?
At ESSENTIAL FOODS, we offer our meals prepared in both our traditional finest British Heritage Kitchens and our Heartland Kitchens. This means you decide which kitchen your ESSENTIALS meal is prepared in – at the time of ordering.

Need a mint?
Many dogs have halitosis, and there can be many reasons for less than the sweetest breath. It may be down to oral hygiene, issues with teeth or gums, but could also be caused by an imbalance in your dog’s gut flora. Happily, help is at hand: look no further than outstanding meals from ESSENTIAL FOODS.
Not just dog or cat food
We don't produce dog or cat food; we produce meals. Meals packed with nutrition which keep a stable blood sugar level and which only contain ingredients that benefit and strengthen your best friend's health. Nutrition is essential for the dog's or cat's overall wellbeing.

Result
Select weight and age above to get your result
*You may notice that the result is 15% lower than the amounts shown on the table on the bag. The table is based on industry standard recommendations, but since our meals contain an exceptionally high amount of fresh ingredients, we have found that feeding 15% less provides the same nutritional value.
“Your dog or cat will welcome the tasty, pure, and healthy ingredients in our foods, and they will thrive on new-found energy and joie de vivre”
Kind regards
