JustFoodForDogs Expands Veterinary Support Line with Digestive Care, Weight Control Formulas

JustFoodForDogs, a science-backed fresh dog food company, has announced the expansion of its Veterinary Support Diet portfolio with the launch of Digestive Care, a new prescription fresh dog food formulated for dogs with gastrointestinal conditions, and an updated formula for its Metabolic + Weight Control diet.

The additions expand JustFoodForDogs’ lineup of veterinarian-developed fresh dog food, providing veterinary professionals and pet parents with whole-food nutrition options prescribed for managing common canine health conditions.

The company also plans to introduce additional Veterinary Support diets in early 2027.

What is the new JustFoodForDogs Digestive Care diet?

The new Digestive Care Veterinary Support Diet is formulated to support dogs with gastrointestinal disorders, including digestive sensitivities and conditions requiring easily digestible nutrition. Key features include:

• Complete and balanced nutrition
• Fresh, human-grade ingredients
• Novel protein, ultra-low fat content, and moderate fiber levels to support digestive health
• Formulated by board-certified veterinary nutrition specialists
• Available exclusively with a veterinarian’s prescription

What’s changed in the Metabolic + Weight Control recipe?

JustFoodForDogs also updated its Metabolic + Weight Control Veterinary Support Diet to better support dogs requiring nutritional management for weight and blood sugar control.

Recipe improvements include:

• Barley and peas added as lower glycemic index carbohydrate sources
• Turkey liver replaces beef liver to create a single-protein formula
• Balanced, diverse fiber profile to support gut health during weight loss
• Complete and balanced nutrition for long-term feeding

The updated recipe is designed to support veterinarians treating overweight dogs or dogs requiring specialized nutritional support while maintaining the palatability associated with fresh food.

“Nutrition plays a critical role in supporting a dog’s health, especially when managing chronic or complex medical conditions,” said Dr. Chris Margrey, board-certified veterinary nutritionist and Director of Veterinary Nutrition at JustFoodForDogs. “Our Veterinary Support Diets are built on the same whole-food foundation as everyday meals, helping dogs enjoy eating therapeutic diets while making it easier for pet parents to stay consistent with the nutrition their veterinarian prescribed.”

How Do JustFoodForDogs Veterinary Support Diets differ from traditional prescription dog food?

Unlike many traditional diets, JustFoodForDogs Veterinary Support Diets are made from fresh, human-grade ingredients and require a veterinarian’s prescription.

Every recipe is developed by the company’s veterinary team, including board-certified specialists in veterinary nutrition, toxicology, and dermatology, and is designed for the long-term nutritional management of specific medical conditions.

Each formula is:

• Made with human-grade ingredients
• Tested through independent human food laboratories
• Formulated to meet or exceed AAFCO nutritional standards

The new Digestive Care Low Fat Veterinary Support Diet and updated Metabolic + Weight Control formulas are now available by veterinary prescription.
