Diet food for dogs without tiny bowls or guilt
Helping your pet reach a healthy weight should not mean constant begging eyes. BuddyMeal uses scientifically formulated weight recipes to lower calories while protecting muscles, joints and that feeling of a full bowl.
Healthy weight
Full satisfying portions
Joint friendly nutrition
Energy for everyday life
Extra weight steals more than we realise
Carrying just a few extra kilos can strain joints, slow play and shorten precious years. Many pets gain weight because portions are guessed and treats are unbalanced. The answer is not less love. The answer is smarter food.

Amazing food, my picky eater loves it. Very good service and transparency about food and ingredients

While I’m not thrilled with the first two ingredients being filler at least my VERY picky eater is actually eating. It was getting concerning how little he would eat at each sitting and now he finishes most meals. If your dog is anything like him this product will give you peace of mind that they are getting those calories in.

Such a great experience with BuddyMeal! Everything was so easy from the beginning and Koda’s box was honestly so cute to open. I love that his food is personalised specifically for him and that they’ve made feeding him so simple with his own portions and plan. The little details, especially having his photo on his food bags, were such a nice touch. Really impressed with everything so far and Koda is very happy too!

Incredibly professional, very friendly. The product is absolutely fantastic. One of my dogs is a very fussy eater and now he sits waiting for his food. Love how easy the personalisation process is, the delivery is incredibly quick. Living on the other end of SA (Limpopo) receive parcels within a few days. Highly recommend. Excellent quality food at a fraction of the price.

My Corgi x Pomeranian has a sensitive tummy and grain allergy, so finding the right food can be tricky. I loved that BuddyMeal is customised to his needs and takes all the guesswork out of feeding with exact portions provided. Ordering was easy, delivery was quick, and I was kept updated every step of the way. The personalised packaging with Buddy’s photo (Yes, my doggo's name is Buddy too) was such a lovely touch! Best of all, Buddy absolutely loves the food and finishes every bowl. I’m also loving the auto-order option, one less thing to worry about. Thank you Luella and the BuddyMeal team!

Vlooi Miniature Pinscher · 2 years old"Vlooi can only be described as a picky eater, and in her two years with us it has been a MISSION to get her to eat anything.
In comes BuddyMeal and although she still takes years to eat her food, this is the first time that she actually enjoys her pellets and goes back to her food consistently. We're ecstatic about that, and a big thank you to BuddyMeal for checking in often and going the extra mile with their customer service."
