How are Marleybones' meals made?

We only use high quality, freshly prepared ingredients, which are sealed raw in their aseptic packaging and slow-cooked, reaching temperatures of over 100°c for just a few minutes. This method not only locks in essential nutrients, moisture and natural flavours, but also keeps our meals as fresh as possible without the need for preservatives or freezing. Marleybones is the easiest way to feed healthy!

Is Marleybones suitable for puppies?

All our meals have been specially formulated for all life stages, taking the issue out of having to switch your dog's food as they grow. Our quiz algorithm adjusts so that puppies between the ages of 2-12 months receive extra nutrition to ensure they grow strong and healthy!

Do I need to freeze the food?

One of the benefits of Marleybones meals, is that you don't need to clear your freezer of ice-cream and just need to store them in a cool, dry place. As a bonus, they take up much less space than traditional food, and they're easy to stack and store. At Marleybones, we are proud to offer pantry fresh meals that remain fresh for up to 18 months when stored in a cupboard. Unlike other products that use preservatives, additives, or other undesirable ingredients that compromise the nutritional balance of the food, our innovative packaging and cooking methods help us achieve a shelf-stable product without sacrificing quality.

Can I easily stop my subscription?

Marleybones subscription service is easy to manage. You can both push your delivery date or stop your subscription altogether. You're of course welcome back anytime.

Key takeaways

Choose high-protein, moderate-fat meals to maintain muscle tone and a lean frame.
Include omega-3 and omega-6 to keep skin healthy and coats silky.
Prefer limited-ingredient recipes with natural prebiotics to ease digestion.
Feed twice daily in calm conditions and avoid large meals before exercise.
Transition diets gradually over several days to reduce the risk of stomach upset.

What are the nutritional needs of a Borzoi?

Borzois thrive on a diet rich in high-quality protein, moderate healthy fats, joint-supportive nutrients, and essential fatty acids for skin and coat health.

Borzois are athletic and enduring, and their nutrition should reflect that. High-quality, easily digestible animal proteins — such as chicken, beef, lamb, or salmon — help maintain lean muscle and provide steady energy for daily activity. Moderate levels of healthy fats offer fuel without promoting excess weight, which is important for such a slim, long-legged breed.

To keep their coats glossy and skin comfortable, meals should include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Ingredients such as salmon and omega-rich oils deliver these benefits naturally. For the joints that carry them so gracefully, nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin can help support cartilage and mobility — valuable as they age or increase activity.

What factors should you consider when choosing food for a Borzoi?

Look for meals tailored to activity, gentle on digestion, portion-controlled, suitable for all life stages, and made from naturally sourced ingredients.

Match the food to how active your Borzoi is. Dogs that run or course need slightly more calorie-dense meals, while quieter companions benefit from lighter recipes. Many Borzois have sensitive stomachs, so limited, recognisable ingredients and natural prebiotics like chicory root or yucca can make a real difference to digestion.

Selecting a food that’s complete and balanced for all life stages avoids nutritional gaps as your dog grows older. Portion control matters too — it helps protect joints and keeps weight appropriate for this athletic build. Above all, choose recipes that are transparent about their ingredients and free from artificial fillers.

Adjust rations for age and activity level.
Prefer gentle recipes with natural prebiotics for gut support.
Look for clear ingredient lists and responsibly sourced components.

How does Marleybones’ Pantry Fresh® range support the unique needs of Borzois?

Marleybones Pantry Fresh® delivers slow-cooked, shelf-stable meals that nourish Borzois from puppyhood to senior years — offering freshness and digestibility in every box.

Marleybones meals are prepared using the Pantry Fresh® method: ingredients are gently slow-cooked inside the serving pack, preserving flavour and nutrients without artificial preservatives or the need to freeze. The result is a shelf-stable meal that stays fresh in your cupboard and is ready to serve. Recipes such as Chic Chicken, Boss Beef, and Sassy Salmon feature quality meats and sustainably sourced fish to support a Borzoi’s energy and physique.

Formulations include natural prebiotics like chicory root and yucca to encourage a healthy gut environment — particularly beneficial for Borzois that can be prone to digestive sensitivities. Every recipe is complete and balanced for all life stages, allowing consistent feeding through puppyhood, adulthood, and beyond. Added omega oils help maintain healthy skin and a glossy coat, and there is a Gut Health Supplement available for extra digestive support when needed.

Pantry Fresh® meal boxes are portioned to make feeding straightforward and to help you match intake to your dog’s needs. With no artificial fillers and full ingredient transparency, these meals are both nourishing and easy to understand. If you’d like, you can take our quiz and discover your dog’s personalised meal plan.

What are the best practices for feeding and maintaining a healthy Borzoi?

Feed Borzois twice daily, keep routines calm, transition foods gradually, and combine good nutrition with low-impact exercise for optimal health.

Splitting the day’s food into two calm meals helps reduce the risk of bloat in deep-chested dogs and keeps energy steady. Serve meals in a quiet place and give your Borzoi time to rest after eating. Try to avoid large feeds right before exercise — a lighter meal beforehand is safer.

Always provide fresh water, especially after activity. When changing recipes, do so gradually over several days to protect gut health and prevent stomach upset. Regular, low-impact exercise — long walks and gentle play — works alongside a nutrient-dense diet to maintain muscle tone and joint strength.

The final woof

Feeding your Borzoi is about more than filling a bowl — it’s about supporting their grace, mobility, and long-term wellbeing. Thoughtful choices — quality proteins, essential fatty acids, and prebiotic-rich ingredients — all add up to better digestion, a healthier coat, and resilient muscles. With steady routines, sensible portions, and care for joint health, you’ll help your Borzoi stay strong and vibrant through every stage. Pantry Fresh® options make balanced, slow-cooked nutrition easy to offer; your Borzoi deserves food as considered as they are.
