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. That’s why we craft gently cooked meals using only human-grade meats, grains, and vegetables to support your dog’s health, happiness, and longevity. We’re more than just dog food β€” we’re 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. That’s how CORE K9 came to life: with recipes made from human-grade ingredients, gently cooked in small batches, and carefully portioned for your pup’s well-being. Now, we’re 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. 🐢❀️

β€” Felicia Cordray, Founder of CORE K9

βœ… What Sets Us Apart

  • Gently Cooked for Optimal Nutrition:
    We slow-cook our food at low temperatures to preserve vital nutrients and lock in natural flavor β€” for meals that are as healthy as they are delicious.
  • Human-Grade Ingredients:
    We use only real meats, whole grains, and fresh vegetables β€” the same quality you'd expect on your own plate.
  • Vet-Reviewed & Balanced:
    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.
  • Convenient & Fresh:
    Vacuum-sealed, frozen meals make feeding easy β€” just thaw, serve, and go. OurΒ resealable packagingΒ keeps portions fresh and makes storage simple, with no mess or waste.
