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.

What are the dietary needs of a Brittany?

Brittanys need high-energy, nutritionally dense diets with optimum protein, moderate fat, slow-release carbohydrates and joint-supporting nutrients.

As a medium-sized breed with endless enthusiasm, Brittanys need nutrition that keeps them going through training, play and long walks. Protein builds and repairs lean muscle, so meals centred on quality meat sources are essential. Moderate, healthy fats provide sustained energy without unnecessary weight gain.

Slow-release carbohydrates such as brown rice or root vegetables help maintain focus and steady stamina during activity. Because Brittanys are naturally active - running and jumping come instinctively - regular joint support is wise. Omega-3 fatty acids, for example, help maintain flexibility and reduce wear over time, so they stay nimble as they age.

Plenty of digestible protein for muscle repair and activity
Moderate, healthy fats for steady energy
Slow-burning carbohydrates to support focus and endurance
Omega-3s to support joint comfort and mobility

What factors influence the best food choice for a Brittany?

The ideal food for a Brittany depends on activity, age, digestion, coat health and ingredient quality.

How active your Brittany is makes a big difference. Working or sporting dogs burn far more calories than companions who prefer the sofa, so they need higher-energy recipes and mindful portioning. Age matters too: puppies, adults and seniors have different requirements. A complete, balanced formula suitable for all life stages can make meal planning simpler and more consistent.

Many Brittanys have sensitive digestion. Gently cooked meals with prebiotics such as chicory root and ingredients like yucca can support healthy gut bacteria and smoother digestion. Fresh, omega-rich proteins—like salmon or lamb—also help keep skin supple and coats glossy, especially in changing weather.

Responsible ingredient sourcing and gentle preparation are key. Techniques that retain nutrients and avoid unnecessary additives preserve the natural goodness and flavour of the food. Marleybones uses a slow-cooked in-pack method to maintain freshness and nutrition, and sources high-quality ingredients for each meal.

How can you keep your Brittany thriving every day?

Consistent portion control, hydration, targeted supplements, mindful treats and regular check-ups help Brittanys thrive every day.

Brittanys do well with routine. Feed Pantry Fresh® meals in portions adjusted for age, weight and activity. Keep clean, fresh water available at all times - active dogs lose fluids quickly, especially during long runs or warmer weather. Supplements such as omega oils or gut-support products can enhance nutrient absorption, support a shiny coat and assist sensitive stomachs.

Treats are useful for training, but choose natural or air-dried options and offer them sparingly to avoid extra calories. Routine veterinary check-ups help track weight, joint health and overall condition, allowing you to adjust their diet as needed.

Feed appropriately portioned meals to match your dog's needs
Encourage regular hydration throughout the day
Use supplements and treats thoughtfully to complement their diet
Arrange routine health checks with your vet
