# DIY Dog Food Tins JustFoodForDogs Makes Do It Yourself Nutrient Blends for Mixing with Whole Food By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-05-15 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-dog-food References: [pehub](https://www.pehub.com/2017/04/l-catterton-backs-pet-food-retailer-justfoodfordogs/) & [justfoodfordogs](https://www.justfoodfordogs.com/do-it-yourself-nutrient-blend-fish) Making [DIY dog food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-pet-kitchen) can be an expensive and time-consuming process, but JustFoodForDogs makes a variety of 'Do It Yourself Nutrient Blends' that simplify the task, while also helping concerned pet parents provide all the nutrients their pets need. The Do It Yourself Nutrient Blends are offered in tall canisters, which provide high-quality, [human-grade nutrients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-moon-pure-protein). While the tubes only contain a recipe and a nutrient blend, they only need the addition of [fresh, whole foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portland-pet-food-company) to make about 30 pounds of dog food. For instance, the Fish variety is designed to be paired with sweet potato, while the Chicken recipe is best suited for blending with rice. Although the task of making one's own DIY pet food from scratch may seem daunting, these DIY kits help to speed up the process and give peace of mind to pet owners who want to provide the best care. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Dog Food:** Opportunity for businesses to provide DIY dog food products that simplify the homemade pet food process. - **Nutrient Blends:** Opportunity to create nutrient-rich blends for pet owners to add to fresh, whole foods for their pets. - **Human-grade Ingredients:** Opportunity to cater to pet owners who want high-quality, human-grade ingredients in their DIY pet food. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for pet food companies to develop DIY dog food products. - **Nutrition Services:** Opportunity for businesses to offer nutrient blending services for pet owners who want customized homemade pet food. - **Packaging Industry:** Opportunity to create user-friendly and eco-friendly packaging for DIY dog food products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dog Food Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-food-cookbook.md) - [Dehydrated Whole Food Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-food-mixer.md) - [DIY Dog Treat Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-treat-mixes.md) - [Hybrid Dog Food Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rawmix50.md) - [Canine Cuisine Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-food-maker.md) - [Dog-Friendly Canned Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doothie.md) - [Fresh Pet Food Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuanty-pet-fresh-food-maker.md) - [Affordable Human-Grade Dog Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wholehearted-fresh-recipes.md) - [Resealable Dog Food Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scoop-serve-tub.md)
