About Essential Foods: To Improve and Prolong Pet's Lives Through Healthier Eating Habits

Our Mission:

"To make a difference and help dogs & cats achieve healthier and better lives through their eating habits. We simply feel committed to it."

An ESSENTIAL menu

Established since 2013, ESSENTIAL FOODS is British born, and salutes the long-established connection between a quintessentially English countryside lifestyle and the superior quality of the local produce.

We’re proud that our range of meals is cooked and prepared in Britain, using a selection of ingredients sourced in England, Scotland or Wales. Having ESSENTIALS in your home is like having a piece of the countryside.

Whether your heart and home are filled with dogs or cats (or both…), we have the meals and treats which have been proudly prepared and cooked to make a distinct difference.

Some people assume we’re too much, but we say thriving, joy and happiness should be a daily event around the bowl. With ESSENTIALS they are.

Founder's Message

My purpose in life since 1998 has been to change dogs’ lives for the better.

So I am both humbled and very pleased to welcome you here. It seems like only yesterday that I packed and shipped our very first bags of ESSENTIALS, and now we have the whole-hearted honour of cooking our foods and treats for customers around the world—or as I like to call them—members of our ESSENTIALS tribe. You are our family. The trust you show by choosing ESSENTIALS is not only appreciated, it is the foundation of my eternal promises:

Never to make any unfavourable changes to the quality in pursuit of more profit.

To always keep to our original mission: to improve and prolong the lives of dogs and cats.

Having this mission obviously means I hold animal life immensely dear. One of the greatest pleasures is therefore being able to manifest this love through our BEYOND ESSENTIALS CHARITY programme supporting dogs, cats, wildlife and nature

If, against all expectations, you are not satisfied with our product, we naturally accept returns without query.

Kind regards
