About CORE K9
Premium Gently Cooked Dog
At CORE K9, we believe dogs deserve the same quality of food we expect for ourselves β real, wholesome ingredients cooked with care. Thatβs why we craft gently cooked meals using only human-grade meats, grains, and vegetables to support your dogβs health, happiness, and longevity. Weβre more than just dog food β weβre a local, purpose-driven brand committed to giving your best friend the best life.
Our Story
CORE K9 was born out of love β and a deep desire to give our own dogs the healthiest life possible. After struggling to find fresh, nutritious food that met our standards, we took matters into our own hands. What started in our home kitchen quickly grew into a mission to help other pet parents do better for their dogs, too.
As a mom, entrepreneur, and dog lover, I wanted a solution that combined real ingredients, balanced nutrition, and convenience β without compromising quality. Thatβs how CORE K9 came to life: with recipes made from human-grade ingredients, gently cooked in small batches, and carefully portioned for your pupβs well-being.
Now, weβre proud to offer meals that are not only vet-reviewed and nutritionally complete, but tail-waggingly delicious too.
From our family to yours β thank you for trusting CORE K9. πΆβ€οΈ

Our recipes are formulated to support complete canine health, including digestion, energy, immunity, and coat condition. - Locally Made with Love:
CORE K9 is made right here in Charlotte, NC. Supporting us means supporting local business, local jobs, and your community. - Rooted in Sustainability: Born from our catering business, we creatively repurpose fresh, unused local ingredients that would otherwise go to waste. This reduces our environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of food quality and safety.
