FAQSFrequently Asked Questions

About Our Fresh Food

What does Human Grade mean?

A human-grade finished product is not only edible for humans but meets the federal manufacturing and packaging regulations by the Department of Public Health. Overall higher quality and standards. At McDoggy, all food is tested on humans.

How is McDoggy made?

Our food is made in Los Angeles at an approved USDA commercial kitchen where we carefully and gently cook your doggy’s meal in small batches using only fresh, human-grade, and USDA ingredients.

Where are McDoggy’s ingredients sourced?

Ingredients used in McDoggy meals are sourced locally in Los Angeles. We only use fresh USDA ingredients and buy from where the restaurants buy, ensuring the utmost quality!

How many patties come in order?

In one McDoggy order, your pup will receive 72 (4oz) patties!

Why should I feed fresh food to my Doggy?

Fresh live food means real nutrients that your pup can actually digest, absorb, and see benefits from. Just like us, your pet needs to eat a nutritious meal that isn’t fast food every day, aka animal-grade kibble. Feeding kibble would be like eating a protein bar for every meal. The exciting part is their poop will be half the size with no smell as all the ingredients are clean and beneficial for their health! Fun side effects for the owners.

How much is the food?

$2.08 a meal!


We are 100% USDA human-grade food made with quality ingredients and care. All ingredients come from the earth, including our nutritional blend with no synthetic, artificial, or fake vitamins and nutrients. Each dog is different and various factors include age, weight, activity level etc. The meals are made in our California Health Department Certified Commercial Kitchen, sourced and prepared in Los Angeles. 

Why can’t I cook my dog’s food at home?

You sure can! However, Vet’s find that recipes you make at home lack the essential nutrients your pet needs to live a long healthy life. Serious complications can happen when you don’t feed your Doggy the right food like a vegan diet or they lack the nutrients for strong healthy bodies.

Do I ask my Vet if I should switch to McDoggy?

Yes! You should always consult with your Vet when it comes to the health and well-being of your pup. We are proud to be Vet formulated and approved.
