Dog Child: The Easy, Balanced Way to Home-Cook for Your Dog

At My Pet Grocer, we believe in giving pet parents the knowledge and tools to feed their animals with confidence. That’s why we’re so excited to welcome Dog Child to our store this year. More than just a new face in the pet food world, Dog Child is a movement, one that makes home-cooked meals for dogs practical, nutritious, and fun.

With a thoughtful philosophy, nutritionist-developed recipes and a growing community of inspired pet parents, Dog Child offers something unique: a way to cook at home with ease while giving your dog the balanced, less processed meals they deserve.

Inspired by a Personal Struggle

Dog Child’s story starts with a familiar struggle. When founder Nicole Marchand’s dog, Charlotte, stopped eating kibble, Nicole searched high and low for a food Charlotte would love: something fresh, nourishing, and made with real ingredients. Nothing worked until she started cooking from scratch at home.

What began as an act of love quickly became a learning curve. While Charlotte finally started eating again, Nicole soon discovered how hard it was to create nutritionally complete meals for dogs using only home kitchen staples. A conversation with her vet confirmed it: most home-cooked diets are missing key nutrients unless they’re precisely formulated.

Nicole knew she wasn’t alone. Many pet parents want to feed their dogs better but the process can feel overwhelming. That’s when she built Dog Child, a supportive recipe hub and a growing line of expertly developed products that make cooking both easier and nutritionally sound.

Backed by an expert team,, Dog Child empowers pet parents to cook meals their dogs love, using whole ingredients and thoughtfully designed mixes that ensure balance in every bowl.

A Different Approach to Dog Nutrition

Dog Child is different from traditional pet food brands because instead of trying to replace the pet parent’s role, it supports them. Instead of selling pre-cooked frozen meals or one-size-fits-all plans, Dog Child offers meal mixes and recipe guidance so you can cook meals tailored to your dog’s tastes, sensitivities, and routine.

Their philosophy is based on three simple principles:

• A simple balance: Each mix is designed to meet dogs’ nutritional needs when combined with common fresh cooked proteins and oils. You don’t need a spreadsheet or supplement cabinet, just a few simple steps in your own kitchen.

• Education and empowerment: Through their recipes, how-to guides, and growing community, Dog Child gives pet parents the knowledge and structure to feed fresh.

• Whole ingredients, nothing else: Dog Child uses recognizable, human-grade ingredients you can trust. No mystery meals, artificial flavors, or heavily processed fillers.

This is a big departure from kibble culture and the sometimes confusing world of home cooking. Instead of overwhelming pet parents with data or pushing them towards expensive subscriptions, Dog Child offers something new: simplicity backed by science.

How Dog Child Stands Out

In a crowded field of home-cooking brands and fresh food options, Dog Child is carving out its own path: one that combines DIY flexibility with professional nutritional integrity. Here’s why it works:

1. Meal Mixes for the Home Cook

Not full pre-made meal plans or overly technical DIY supplements, Dog Child’s meal mixes are for real home kitchens. You add your own fresh-cooked proteins so you have control over ingredients and every meal is complete and balanced. Just cook, mix, serve.

2. Vet Developed Recipes for Everyday Use

Dog Child partnered with a team of veterinary nutritionists to develop both their products and recipe library. So every meal is designed with health in mind from puppyhood to senior years without putting the burden of research on the pet parent.

3. Community Driven Learning

Dog Child is more than a product line; it’s a community. Their online presence is full of cooking tips, educational posts and shared recipes from fellow pet parents. You’re never alone and that sense of connection makes the journey feel more achievable and meaningful.

4. Supportive Not Prescriptive

Some brands are rigid in their approach to nutrition but Dog Child meets pet parents where they are. Whether you want to fully transition to home-cooked meals or just supplement your dog’s kibble with fresh food, their products and content make it easy to take that next step without guilt or confusion.

5. Flexible Fresh Feeding

Dog Child encourages variety not restriction. Whether your dog loves turkey, chicken or beef the recipes are designed to accommodate different proteins and cooking styles. This prevents boredom and can support better digestion and long term health.
