Why Spoiling Our Dog With JustFoodForDogs Has Been 100% Worth It

Hi, I’m Sheila, a proud DINKWAD: dual-income, no kids, with a dog. And yes, you already know our dog isn’t just a pet; she’s our baby. Our little princess, Nala. She’s a fluffy, sassy Pochoon (that’s a Poodle-Bichon mix for the uninitiated), and she runs the house.

She has a wardrobe, a dedicated spot on our bed, and an entire collection of plush toys. But of all the ways we spoil her, feeding her JustFoodForDogs (JFFD) has been 100% the best decision we’ve made. Here’s why.

1. Because I want Nala to eat real food, not mystery kibbles

Before we got Nala, I figured kibble was the real deal. Every dog eats it, right? I didn’t question it… until I did. 

One day, I flipped over the bag and started reading the ingredients. Meat by-products? Mystery fillers? Preservatives I couldn’t pronounce? The list read like a chemistry textbook. Nope. Not for my baby.

JFFD is made with fresh, human-grade ingredients I can recognize: chicken, beef, sweet potatoes, spinach! It’s real food, gently cooked to keep its nutrients intact. Food I wouldn’t think twice about eating myself.  

2. Because no one warned me about the zoomies upgrade

Nala has always been a playful little ball of fluff, but after switching to JFFD, she’s been extra spunky. Her coat is shinier, she has more energy on our walks, and she just looks healthier.

Plus (might be TMI, but important), her digestion is better than ever. No more random tummy troubles or inconsistent poops. The science-backed nutrition in JFFD is designed to promote optimal health, and I’ve seen the difference firsthand.

3. Because I wanted to spoil my fur baby, but not spend hours meal prepping

Look, as a DINKWAD… spoiling my fur baby is a given. I wanted to feed Nala fresh, high-quality food but didn’t want to deal with freezers, thawing, or complicated prep.

JFFD has a line of shelf-stable fresh meals called JustFresh. It’s packaged with FreshLink™ technology, meaning it’s gently cooked to keep all the good nutrients and delivered in a pantry-friendly pouch. But… wait for it… it doesn’t require freezing!

I store it in the pantry, and when it’s mealtime, I tear open a pack and serve it. When I’m done, I simply reseal and refrigerate. It’s fresh food without the hassle.

4. Because I needed the right support to switch to fresh foods

Look, Nala is my baby. So, naturally, I was nervous about switching to fresh food. I wanted to make sure Nala was getting all the right nutrients, the right portion sizes, and everything balanced perfectly.

JFFD took the guesswork out of it. With their science-backed recipes and the feeding guide that makes portioning super simple. I don’t have to stress about whether she’s getting enough protein or vitamins.

Plus, JFFD is designed by veterinarians, backed by 10+ years of research, and made with fresh, whole ingredients. And that gave me even more peace of mind. 

5. Because we’re spoiling our baby, but we’re also saving money

We love treating Nala like royalty, but we’re also not trying to spend a fortune on dog food. When I realized JFFD’s JustFresh meals start at just $6.99 per pouch and last multiple meals for a small pup like Nala, I was sold.

It’s not much more than premium kibble, but the health benefits, convenience, and quality ingredients make it a no-brainer. I believe we are what we eat, and I’d rather pay a bit more upfront for fresh food if it means avoiding expensive vet visits down the line.

No Shame in Spoiling Your Dog. This Was 100% Worth It!

People might say we spoil Nala. And to that, I say: absolutely, and I have no regrets.

She’s happy, healthy, and thriving, and switching to JFFD has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. It’s real food, backed by science, made for dogs. And in our house, it’s the one ‘spoiling’ habit we refuse to give up.If you’re even thinking about upgrading your pup’s food, just do it. Your dog deserves it. 🐶💖
