The kitchen – which will prepare fresh, human-grade pet food daily – joins JustFoodForDogs’ existing lineup of stand-alone kitchens in California and others currently under construction in Boston and Chicago. The company also is opening a kitchen inside Petco’s flagship store in New York City’s Union Square.

“According to the U.S. Census and the Seattle Animal Shelter, there are now more dogs in Seattle than children, underscoring how important these animals are as members of our family,” said Shawn Buckley, founder of JustFoodForDogs. “Our freshly prepared meals, custom diet plans, health supplements and more enable pet parents to help their furry loved ones live their best lives.”

In 2010, JustFoodForDogs launched the fresh food movement for pets with the opening of its first public kitchen, where trained chefs cook fresh food exclusively for pets from ingredients USDA- certified for human consumption. Dedicated to increasing the quality and length of life for as many dogs as possible through a balanced whole food diet, JustFoodForDogs offers the only food on the market proven healthy by two independent universities, who conducted year-long feeding trials proving their recipes boost the immune system of dogs in a healthy way.

The 3,067-square-foot health and wellness kitchen will feature state-of-the-art stainless-steel appliances with JustFoodForDogs trained chefs hand preparing the signature recipes. It will produce up to 2,000 pounds of food daily, seven days a week.

Meals and supplements from JustFoodForDogs are already available at more than 1,000 Petco stores nationwide, 45 in Washington state, and online at JustFoodForDogs.com and petco.com/justfoodfordogs. Further, JustFoodForDogs’ Certified Nutritional Consultants support eight Petco pantry store-in-store formats in locations including Kirkland, Interbay and West Seattle.
