With menu items like Turkey & Whole Wheat Macaroni, Venison & Squash and Lamb & Brown Rice, you might be surprised to find that these are [all-natural dog food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portland-pet-food-company) offerings from Just Food for Dogs. As well as daily eats like these, the Just Food for Dogs kitchen in Manhattan Beach also serves upscale meals for the more discerning pup, including Kangaroo & Lentil, Free Range Bison and Venison & Sweet Potato. The business was developed to make the lives of dogs happier, healthier and longer through food. Creator Shawn Buckley describes that these meals are so fresh, they will go bad after a few days in the fridge—but the simplicity of its ingredients is part of what makes this company so appealing to pet owners. As Buckley notes: "There are no ingredients you wouldn't recognize. Cauliflower is cauliflower. Zucchini is zucchini."

In addition to being able to pick up these [decadent doggie meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hearty-stews) from the store, these meals can also be cooked fresh, [packaged frozen and delivered](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jinx).
