Our story<\/h1>\n

Dog Chef was born in 2017 out of the friendship of Alexis and Alexandre, who share a strong conviction: our pets are also entitled to real, high-quality food to keep them happy and healthy. It all started with Dog Chef! And 7 years later they decided to put their fresh food expertise to work for cats by launching Cat Chef!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n \n\n\n\n

An adoption<\/b><\/h3>\n\n \n \"\" \n

The story began when Alexis adopted Rox<\/strong>. Like all masters he wanted the best for his dog, so he looked for the best food. Unfortunately he didn’t find anything satisfactory on the market, so he decided to cook for Rox himself and the effect was immediate. Not only did Rox literally devour his meals, but his coat rapidly became softer too.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

A challenge<\/b><\/h3>\n\n \n \"\" \n

Alexis shared his experience with Alex, who was doing research on the subject. Internet, veterinarian, books, everything seemed to confirm his idea: home-made food is better for dogs’<\/strong> health and their appetites. OK, so they decided to cook for their friends’ and families’ dogs.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

A crazy gamble<\/b><\/h3>\n\n \n \"\" \n

Faced with increasing demand and a lack of space in the butcher’s back kitchen, they decided to move into their own 1,500m2 workshop<\/strong> to prepare dog food in Huldenberg, a few kilometres from Brussels.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

In 2021, four years after its creation, Dog Chef raised EUR 12.5 million and won UNIZO’s “Promising SME of the Year” title.

Kibbles<\/b>, but better!<\/h3>\n\n \n \"\" \n

A lot of our customers want to combine cooked meals with kibble. So dog Chef set itself a new challenge, to offer delicious kibble of unprecedented quality<\/strong>, with a maximum of fresh meat<\/strong> and natural ingredients. Because we want ALL dogs, in all circumstances, to benefit from food that is as delicious as it is balanced!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
