Our Mission: Better Nutrition Through Real Food
Chubby’s Chow rescues premium fine-dining meat trimmings and transforms them into human-grade, nutritious meals for dogs.
We keep good food out of landfills, support local kitchens & businesses, and make sustainable & healthy meals simple for pet parents.
Generations apart, Larry wants a better world for his grandkids—and Shaun wants a better world for generations to come.
Chubby’s Chow is where both meet:
- Great Dog Food.
- Less Waste.
- Real Impact.

Our Goals
Our aim is to become the world's first fully sustainable dog food company!
Sustainability First
Prioritize local sourcing, low-waste production, and recyclable & compostable packaging, reducing our carbon and waste-diversion impact.
Reducing Food Waste
Divert thousands of pounds of high-quality scraps & misfit fresh veggies from landfills each month.
Nutrition You Can Trust
Formulate complete, certified-vet recommended and AAFCO-aligned recipes with special diet recipes too!
Happy Customers, Real Impact
Deliver delicious meals, earn repeat customers, and build a community of eco-friendly pet parents.
Our Commitment To Sustainability
We’re built on sustainability first.
We fight the food-waste epidemic with a local and custom-curated small-batch model through upcycling protein trimmings and blemished & misfit produce

-
Upcycle at the source:
Turning meat trimmings into premium, human-grade meals for dogs, cutting methane-producing waste at its source.
-
Our Produce brand, Second Chance Garden:
Gives misfit fruits & veggies a second life in our recipes rescuing produce that doesn't make retail grade, and using them in our recipes, not the landfill.
-
Measured impact:
The U.S. wastes 30–40% of food every year (~133 billion pounds) and it's the #1 landfilled material (USDA, EPA).
- AND we also use all recyclable/biodegradable packaging!

My pup goes crazy for this!
Honestly, I don’t know where we’d be without Chubby’s Chow. It helped my cockapoo, Daisy, feel like herself again. After switching, she had more energy, was more playful, and just seemed happier overall. Choosing Chubby’s Chow was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for her.
★★★★★
Finally a food she finishes every time
My rescue was always a picky eater but she cleans her bowl every single meal now. Highly recommend to any dog parent struggling with a fussy pup.
★★★★★
Best food on the market
I've tried everything for my senior dog and Chubby's Chow is the only brand that keeps his joints happy and his appetite strong. Worth every penny.
