Real food
Dogs thrive on real food, for the same reason we do.
You’d never expect to feel your best living on processed food, however many vitamins you took. Your dog’s body works the same way.
If it isn’t food you’d eat, their body doesn’t treat it like food either. That’s why Paws on Plates is human-grade: British meat and veg, slow-cooked in our West Sussex kitchen, portioned for your dog and delivered to your door.
“…it looks good enough to eat.”
“Lovely quality food, looks and smells delicious…”
The root cause
Their everyday niggles aren’t age or fussiness. Often, they’re dinner.
Each one gets put down to age, breed or “just how they are”, and treated one at a time: a joint chew here, a topper there, a cream for the itch.
Slowing down
Fussy at meals
Tummy troubles
Itchy skin
Dull coat
All linked?
What’s missing
Food cooked at high heat until much of the natural goodness is gone, and light on the fresh protein and healthy fats that keep coats glossy, joints moving and energy up.
What’s in the way
Fillers, starches and vague “derivatives” their bodies weren’t built for. Some pass straight through. Others leave the body reacting: the itch, the gurgles, the loose stools.
Chews, toppers and creams treat the symptoms one at a time. Fix the cause, what’s in the bowl, and owners tell us a lot of the rest follows.
Everybody said, oh, she’s getting old, isn’t she? She could just kind of lost that spark … it’s just given her a new lease of life, really.
What’s in their bowl?
Would you eat what’s in their bowl right now?
Tap what they eat today.
Kibble
“Meat and animal derivatives” can mean almost anything. The rest is blasted at high heat into a pellet built to last months on a shelf.
“…we don’t consume that as humans. It just feels, it feels wrong to me”
Paws on Plates
Meat and veg you can see, cooked like dinner, kept fresh by freezing, not preservatives.
Tins & trays
Jelly, gravy, and meat you can’t identify. You end up just trusting what’s in there.
“…just trusting that it’s okay. But this you could see was proper food.”
Paws on Plates
Named British meat in chunks, and whole veg you can pick out.
Raw
Getting it complete means balancing ratios and adding supplements, and handling raw meat around the house.
“I hate dishing it up I felt like the house was dirty ... I was cleaning the fridge constantly”
Paws on Plates
Gently cooked and complete, with the superfood blend already in. Defrost, serve, done.
Another fresh food
Fresh isn’t automatically real. Many recipes lean on lentils, quinoa or buckwheat, blended to a paste you couldn’t pick a single ingredient out of.
“…it just went straight through”
Paws on Plates
No grains, no pulses, no buckwheat. Chunks you can name.
What makes it real
True fresh: How Paws is different to other foods
Real chunks, not paste.
Thick chunks of meat, broken up by hand, so you can pick out the lamb, the carrot and the broccoli.
Cooked like dinner, not processed.
Two hours at 90°C, like a stew at home.
Real superfoods, not just a premix.
Salmon oil, green-lipped mussel, turmeric, ginger, chia and seaweed, cooked into every recipe. Nothing extra to buy, nothing to remember.
Real, named British meat.
Every protein named on the label. No grains. No pulses. No buckwheat. Nothing to bulk it out, nothing to keep it sitting on a shelf.
And the real test: the bowl.
Other fresh food, dogs eat. Ours, they wait by the bowl for. Twice a day, every day.

The superfood blend
Real food, plus six superfoods. All cooked in.
Many fresh foods stop at a basic vitamin and mineral mix. We add six more ingredients, each one there to support the body from the inside, not mask a symptom.
Coat & skinSalmon oil · 1.1% of every recipe
Rich in the omega-3s EPA and DHA, the fats most closely linked to healthy skin and a glossy coat. Often the first change owners notice.
JointsGreen-lipped mussel · 150mg in every 100g
A New Zealand shellfish and the star ingredient in many joint supplements. A natural source of omega-3s and glycosaminoglycans, for supple joints at every age.
TummyTurmeric and ginger
Two kitchen-cupboard spices, added in small amounts to every recipe. Turmeric gives the golden colour; ginger is the warming one.
DigestionChia seeds
A source of fibre for steady digestion, plus plant-based omega-3.
MineralsSeaweed
A natural source of iodine and trace minerals.
All of it is in every recipe, measured to your dog’s portion. No chews, no toppers, no second subscription.
What changes
Fix the cause, and the rest follows. Here’s what owners see.
Every dog is different, and we won’t promise miracles. But here’s what owners tell us most, in their own words.
MealtimesFussy dogs clearing the bowl
Real chunks, slow-cooked flavour, and it smells like dinner.
“…it’s the first dog food she doesn’t walk up to, sniff, and walk away from”
Trustpilot review · LornaDigestionFirmer, smaller poos
Real meat and veg, with no grains or pulses to pass straight through.

CoatSofter, shinier coats

Trustpilot review · Alice Sarjeant
EnergyMore life on walks

“…more energy, glossier coat and a renewed zest for life!”

Five recipes. All real food.
British beef, lamb, turkey or salmon, each slow-cooked with the same superfood blend. Mix and match, and every recipe costs the same.
Owners like you
“If I wouldn’t be happy to eat it, then neither should Indi.”
Owners who held their dog’s food to the same standard as their own.
Genuinely brilliant food
The quality of the food is exceptional- you can actually see the ingredients your dog is eating - not just some random mush other brands market as acceptable. Honestly if I wouldn’t be happy to eat it then neither should Indi.

Really impressed with Paws on Plates
The food comes frozen and once defrosted smells absolutely delicious....we’ve been tempted to try it for an evening meal ourselves!! (not really). As for expense; yes, it is costly but it is worth every penny.

The only food my fussy whippet has stuck to
Paws on plates is the only food my fussy whippet has stuck to. His coat is so silky and no more upset stomachs. … We have tried other fresh foods in the past but nothing compares to the quality you get with paws on plates from the nice chunky veg to the very convenient packaging.

Best dog food
Only recently started my pup on paws on plates due to him having sensitive tummy and having tried lots of other different foods. He now licks his bowl clean which he has not done for a long time. It’s so nice to find a food that he actually likes and no longer has tummy issues. …

Thank you so much
Thank you so much, I have contemplated the type of food for my cocker spaniel puppy. Thought I would give this a try after reading about the ingredients so switched from kibble. Winnie loves these meals she literally dances when I bring out the tubs. Stools more formed and really pleased with this.

Dog food done right
Heard of these guys through all about dog food and I was impressed with their quality Vs cost … We are now on our third month and the dogs love it, we had no issues with jippy tummies on the transition. …

Best dog food
My two cocker spaniels have been on this food for around 8 months now. Have tried most diets after my dog started with allergies and this gives the best quality of ingredients and variety of flavours he can still have. My dog was literally crying with anticipation after a day and half of not having it.

Excellent
… My working cocker needs to be on a gluten free diet so Paws on Plates is perfect for her. She loves the recipes and had no issues with the transition from her previous fresh food (which contained gluten) to Paws on Plates.

Made by dog people
Cooked by people who feed it to their own dogs
Sam started Paws on Plates for his dog Loki, who needed better than what was on the shelf. Every batch is still cooked in our own kitchen in West Sussex, with British meat from farms we know, and tasted by us before it goes in a tub. And if you ring us, there’s a good chance Sam picks up.
Everything you’d want to know before you start
Is it complete and balanced?
Yes. Every recipe is complete and balanced for all life stages, so it’s their whole meal, not a topper.
Why is it frozen?
Freezing keeps it fresh without preservatives, the same way you’d freeze a homemade stew.
How much freezer space will I need?
A 2-week box for a 15kg dog fits in about one freezer drawer. Smaller dogs need less, and we also offer a 1-week box if you're short on freezer space too.
How long does it keep once defrosted?
Defrost in the fridge overnight, and it keeps for up to 5 days once open.
What happens after my first two boxes?
Your plan carries on at the full price. You can pause, skip or cancel any time from your account.
What recipes are there?
Five: Loki’s lovely lamb, Boot’s beef bowl, Tilly’s tasty turkey, Vinnie’s veggie packed salmon supper, and Sammy’s salmon & turkey sensation. Every one is made with British meat or fish, whole veg and the same superfood blend, and you can mix and match them in your plan.
Does it contain chicken?
Three recipes are completely chicken-free: Loki’s lovely lamb, Boot’s beef bowl and Vinnie’s veggie packed salmon supper. Tilly’s tasty turkey and Sammy’s salmon & turkey sensation include chicken heart. Tell us about any allergies when you build their plan and we’ll only suggest recipes that suit them.
What if my dog doesn’t like it?
Every plan comes with our 30-day money-back guarantee. If they don’t love it, you don’t pay.
