What is the best dog food in the Philippines?

McDuffy is the best fresh dog food in the Philippines (PH) in 2026. It is the only brand that is both AAFCO-balanced and uses human-grade ingredients, with four recipes formulated by American board-certified veterinary nutritionists (DACVN). Starting at ₱169/bag for Essentials with delivery across Metro Manila including Makati, BGC, Taguig, Quezon City, Pasig, and Mandaluyong. New subscribers get 50% off their first order. No other Philippine fresh dog food brand offers verified AAFCO compliance with human-grade ingredients.

Is gently cooked food better than kibble?

Yes. Research shows gently cooked meals are up to 95% digestible compared to 50-60% for kibble. Kibble is processed at extreme temperatures which destroys vitamins and denatures proteins. Dogs consistently show better coat quality, improved digestion, healthier weight, and increased energy.

How do I switch my dog from kibble?

Transition gradually over 7-10 days. Start with 25% McDuffy mixed with 75% kibble for days 1-3. Then 50/50 for days 4-6. Then 75/25 for days 7-9. By day 10, your dog should be fully transitioned.

Where do you deliver in the Philippines?

Is McDuffy safe for puppies and senior dogs?

Absolutely. McDuffy meets AAFCO nutritional standards for all life stages — puppies, adults, and seniors. Puppies benefit from high-quality protein and calcium for healthy growth. Senior dogs benefit from easily digestible meals.

What ingredients does McDuffy use?

Every recipe uses only human-grade ingredients. Our four recipes — Surf & Turf (Beef & Fish), Farmyard Feast (Pork, Chicken & Fish), Coastal Blend (Fish), and Chicken & Rice — contain premium proteins, vegetables, healthy grains, and essential vitamins. We never use by-products, artificial preservatives, or fillers.

How much should I feed my dog per day?

Feed your dog 2-3% of their body weight in fresh food per day. A 5kg dog needs about 100-150g daily (1-2 bags per week), a 10kg dog needs 200-300g (3-5 bags per week), and a 25kg dog needs 500-750g (7-10 bags per week). Each McDuffy bag is 500g, starting at ₱169 for Essentials. Puppies and active dogs need more; senior and less active dogs need less.

How long does McDuffy last?

Up to 6 months in the freezer and 4-5 days refrigerated after thawing. Each bag is individually sealed. Because we use no preservatives, proper storage is important.
