UC Davis analyzed 200 homemade recipes. Nine passed.
Researchers ran 200 published recipes for healthy adult dogs through nutritional analysis. They came from 34 sources: pet care books, websites, and veterinary textbooks. Here is what they found.
came up short on at least one essential nutrient
or more had multiple deficiencies, not just one
of the 200 met the AAFCO minimums for adult dogs
Stockman J, Fascetti AJ, Kass PH, Larsen JA. Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2013. Summary from UC Davis.
The gaps most likely to cause real problems were choline, vitamin D, zinc and vitamin E. They are invisible, they are tasteless, and a dog can look completely fine for months.
And rotating recipes does not fix it. UC Davis found that so many recipes shared the same deficiencies that feeding variety, the thing most people do to cover the gaps, is unlikely to correct them.

Nobody sees the Sunday behind the bowl. We do.
You started because you read the back of a bag once and could not unread it. Here is everything that goes into it, most of which nobody else ever sees:
- 01Finding meat you actually trust, every single week
- 02The chopping, the boiling, the cooling, the portioning
- 03Containers labeled and stacked so a full week fits in one freezer
- 04Reading up on calcium and zinc ratios, because nobody else was going to
- 05Then doing every one of these again next Sunday
That is five jobs, every week, and you have been doing all five. You do not have to hand over all five.
Because when you’re the one making every meal, there’s no backup plan. Life gets busy. You go away. But he still needs dinner.
The same ingredients. The nutrition already solved.
You have been the butcher, the cook, the portioner and the nutritionist. Four jobs, one person, every week. Here is what happens to all four when you stop doing them alone.

“Since we began giving it to her she has finished every single meal, licked her bowl clean, and asked for more.”
Cindy Taylor, DASH customer
“He was picky with previous food… now he eagerly gobbles the food up no issues in under two minutes!”
Patricia Vargas, DASH customer
“Our dog is super picky but actually prefers this food… he devoured it while ignoring his usual feast!”
Vanessa Lampen, DASH customer
“This is the only food that my dog ate without hesitation. He would normally smell the food first and walk away if he does not like it.”
“I was spending a good part of my day off making his food from scratch. This frees up some time.”
“DASH wet food has a high-quality texture and appearance that reminds us of the homemade meat we prepare for them, and all four dogs happily eat both recipes.”
“I’ve tried just about every premade food out there for my big girls. Even after the adjustment period, my girls always had soft stool. This one is different.”
“My extreme picky eater loves this food. I really appreciate the sourcing too!”
“Super easy to order a trial box to find which meal your dog likes best.”

What this looks like
Your Sunday comes back and the kitchen stays open. Every DASH meal is complete and balanced on its own, so you can mix it into what you already make. Worth knowing: the more of the week DASH covers, the more of your dog’s nutrition comes from a formulated recipe.
