About the project
Every pet deserves real food– whole, high-quality food that we believe helps all pets thrive.
What goes into recipes is every bit as important as what’s left out so, using nothing but whole foods, Dr. Bessent formulated limited-ingredient recipes. Then, using some rather cutting-edge spaceman technology, she freeze-dried them so that every benefit of raw, whole food was available for your pet.
It’s real, whole food nutrition without compromising convenience and that really makes the decision around how and what to feed your growing dog simple.
It’s simple. it’s food as food should be.

What's in a box?
It can be challenging to compare pet foods, especially with so many different product offerings on the market.
To help with that, we kept it simple—just 19 or less honest-to-raw ingredients in each recipe.
What goes into recipes is every bit as important as what’s left out. The big difference in our food (versus others on the shelf) is that we’re made entirely of fresh, whole foods. So you won’t find rendered meals, fillers like soy, wheat, or grain, synthetic vitamins, or minerals that make up other pet “food” in our recipes. Just real, whole food sourced in the US, freeze-dried raw to keep all the benefits food has to offer.

HOW LONG TO ADD PUPPY BALANCER TO THE SIMPLE FOOD RECIPES
Puppy Balancer is simply a concentrated blend of vitamins and minerals from whole foods, so you can use the blend well past puppy age!
COMPLETE & BALANCED
Pairing Puppy Balancer with the Beef & Salmon, Duck & Trout, or Chicken & Turkey recipes will meet AAFCO’s Growth & Reproduction requirements ensuring each recipe is a Complete & Balanced puppy diet.
** If the adult weight of your puppy will be >70 lbs, pairing Puppy Balancer with the Bison or Lamb recipes will meet AAFCO’s Growth & Reproduction requirements ensuring each recipe is a Complete & Balanced puppy diet.
The Single Protein Duck Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of all life stages and does not require Puppy Balancer.
By itself, Puppy Balancer is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.
feeding recommendation
Add 1 tsp Puppy Balancer for every 1/3 cup Simple Food
Simple food serving suggestions
Take me to: Simple Food Feeding Calculator
Start by using the daily feeding guide below and adjust to your own puppy’s needs.
If your pup is 4 months or younger, we’d suggest allowing your puppy to graze throughout the day. You can also break up their feeding schedule by putting food out four or more times a day.
Once they’re 4-months-old, you can start dividing their food into two portions, feeding in the AM & PM.
* # of tsp Puppy Balancer pair with that specific amount of food only. If you change the amount you’re feeding, follow the below*
For every 1/3 cup of Simple Food added to their bowl, add 1 tsp Puppy Balancer.
The Single Protein Duck Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of all life stages and does not require Puppy Balancer.
rehydrate
Per your dog’s tastes, rehydrate by adding +/- ¾ cup warm water or bone broth for every cup of food, wait two minutes, mix, & serve. Simple Food can also be fed dry, but always provide clean drinking water on the side.
Got Crumbs?
Using whole foods makes each batch unique. As a freeze-dried, whole food product, it's entirely normal to see differing amounts of crumbs in every bag. Sprinkle those nutrient-dense crumbs over their meal, add warm water to make a broth, or freeze the broth to make a pupsicle.
faqs
Puppy Balancer is a blend of whole food vitamins and minerals that make several of our Simple Food recipes Complete & Balanced for puppy diets. There’s DHA, zinc, and a whole lot of concentrated antioxidants from foods like blueberries, spinach, and pomegranate. Once added to our Duck & Trout, Beef & Salmon, Chicken& Turkey, (Bison & Lamb recipes only for puppies whose adult weight is >70lbs) recipes, The Simple Food Project recipes will meet AAFCO’s Growth & Reproduction requirements.
As always, our mission is to get more dogs eating real, whole food, so with Puppy Balancer, we’re able to open the Project up to a whole new caaauuuute population of dogs.
Our original Simple Food Project recipes should be paired with Puppy Balancer.
- Duck & Trout
- Chicken & Turkey
- Beef & Salmon
Our single-protein recipes are dependent on the four-legger.
- Bison, only if the adult weight of your puppy will be >70 lbs
- Lamb, only if the adult weight of your puppy will be >70 lbs
The Single Protein Duck Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of all life stages and does not require Puppy Balancer.
Puppy Balancer is designed for Simple Food but is safe for any food.
**We do not guarantee that it balances any food other than The Simple Food Project recipes.**
If looking for something to support your dog’s overall health & wellness, The Simple Food Project already offers a bevy of benefits with ingredients like krill and superfood. But there’s absolutely more you can add to the bowl!
