You chose to stay with us. Now it's time to talk about something even bigger: what goes in the bowl.

Not cheaper. Not a compromise. A choice. Because everybody deserves to feed raw.

It’s no secret that everything is getting more expensive, from the grocery aisle to the fuel tank.

Typically, April is when we implement our annual price adjustment to keep up with rising raw material and supply chain costs. However, we know things are tight for everyone right now.

*WE'VE DECIDED TO DELAY OUR 2026 PRICE INCREASE*

As a manufacturer, we’re choosing to absorb these rising costs for as long as possible. Our priority is ensuring your pets stay powered by the best nutrition without adding extra stress to your monthly budget.

We’ll keep you updated on any future changes, but for now, the price you see is the price you'll stay at.

Thank you for being part of our raw feeding family!

People are complaining about the natural tallow in our raw blends, but with fuel prices these days? We’re basically selling biofuel. 💸

Forget Premium Unleaded. We’re on that Premium Beef Fat.

At this rate, we aren't just feeding your dog, we’re one ribeye away from rendering lunch directly into the delivery van’s fuel tank. 🏎️💨

If you missed it, say hello to our newest addition: single-protein chipolatas, made for BOTH DOGS AND CATS!

Each pack comes with 10 perfectly portioned chipolatas, making them an easy, convenient way to add variety and goodness to your pet’s bowl. Whether served as a topper or a treat, they’re designed to complement your pet’s raw diet.

We’ve also had a few questions about using them for training and while they’re super tasty, they’re not ideal as training treats. For training sessions, we recommend sticking to our dehydrated treats for quick, bite-sized rewards.

Think of chipolatas as a nutritious spoil, perfect for adding excitement and value to mealtime. Because sometimes, a little extra goes a long way.

Cape Town is turning up the heat today and just like us, our pets need extra hydration to stay happy and healthy. When temperatures rise, making sure your dogs and cats have access to fresh, nourishing hydration is more important than ever.

A simple way to give them a cooling boost? Chilled Doggobone Kefir Milk 🥛❄️

Serve it straight from the fridge as a refreshing treat or pour it over their meal for a tasty hydration boost.

Why pets love it (and why it’s good for them):
🐾 Supports gut health with natural probiotics
🐾 Boosts immunity and overall wellness
🐾 Encourages hydration during hot days
🐾 Safe and beneficial for both dogs and cats

On hot days like these, a cool bowl of kefir can be the perfect mix of hydration, nutrition and a little spoil for your fur kids.

Stay cool out there, Cape Town, and keep those bowls full and tails wagging 🐶🐱❄️

Looking to level up your fur kid’s bowl? Doggobone Bone Broth isn’t just tasty, it’s packed with natural goodness that supports your pet from the inside out.

Here are 3 powerful benefits your dog or cat will love:

🐾 Supports Joint Health - Bone broth is naturally rich in collagen and nutrients that help maintain healthy joints, perfect for growing pups and kitties, active dogs and cats, and senior companions.

🐾 Boosts Digestion - Gentle on the tummy and easy to absorb, bone broth can help support a healthy gut and improve nutrient absorption.

🐾 Encourages Hydration & Appetite - Pour it over meals or serve on its own, it’s a great way to increase hydration and tempt picky eaters to finish their bowls.

Simple ingredients. Real nourishment. Everyday wellness made easy. ✨🐶🐱

As Doggobone continues to expand, our focus remains clear: to stay at the forefront of pet nutrition while remaining accessible to everyday pet owners.

For us, that means:
- Investing in scalable production systems that protect food safety and consistency
- Continuously refining packaging and processes to support long-term sustainability
- Maintaining strict quality control as volumes grow
- Sourcing responsibly and formulating with intention
- Keeping premium raw nutrition affordable - not exclusive

Being at the forefront isn’t about noise.

It’s about infrastructure. It’s about standards. It’s about thinking five years ahead, not five posts ahead.

We are building Doggobone for longevity, with systems that support the thousands of dogs who rely on us daily.

The mission has never changed: Honest, high-quality raw nutrition, done properly, at scale.

Best foot forward. Always.

We’ve heard some of your comments on our last post, and we’d like to explain why we can’t return to the single-clipped roll 🐾

The demand for Doggobone has grown rapidly - something we’re incredibly grateful for. As we scale responsibly, we’ve had to make decisions that protect both our values and our customers.

Doggobone has always prided itself on providing good-quality, honest nutrition that remains affordable for all. Sometimes, upholding that ethos means making difficult but necessary decisions.

Here’s why the single-clipped roll is no longer viable:

> Supplier limitations - our packaging supplier for the single-clipped roll could not keep up with growing demand, resulting in supply constraints.
> Labour-intensive process – single clipping requires extensive manual handling and slows production significantly.
> Cost implications – continuing with this format would increase production costs considerably, which would ultimately impact pricing.
> Scalability – the format is not suited to the volumes required to meet current and future demand.
> Consistency & safety – thermoformed flat packs and double-clipped rolls provide improved hygiene and more consistent quality at scale.

The food itself hasn’t changed - only the packaging around it.

These changes allow us to stay true to our ethos while keeping Doggobone safe, consistent and accessible as we grow.
