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.

Consult your vet before adding supplements such as omega oil or gut‑health formulas.

Why the right diet matters for a Dogo Argentino

The right diet is essential for supporting the Dogo Argentino's strength, vitality and sensitive constitution.

Dogo Argentinos are muscular, energetic and deeply loyal. Bred for hunting and guarding, they thrive on nutrition that supports stamina, muscle tone and joint health. In short: their diet needs to do more than simply fill a bowl.

Poor nutrition can erode lean muscle, put extra strain on joints and affect immune strength. Many Dogo Argentinos also experience sensitive digestion or occasional skin issues, so ingredient quality and digestibility truly make a difference to their long‑term wellbeing.

Key nutritional needs of a Dogo Argentino

Dogo Argentinos require high‑quality protein, healthy fats, digestive support, joint care and balanced micronutrients to stay at their best.

Lean, named animal proteins are the foundation for strong muscles and steady energy in a Dogo Argentino. Aim for meals built on chicken, beef or lamb - such as Marleybones' Chic Chicken, Boss Beef or Lush Lamb - which nourish their muscular frame and active lifestyle. Ideally, these recipes are slow‑cooked to preserve ingredients' nutritional value and aid digestion, which is important for sensitive stomachs.

Essential fats (omega‑3 and omega‑6) help maintain healthy skin and shiny coats, and they support cognitive function. Pantry Fresh® recipes also include prebiotic fibres - such as chicory root and yucca - to steady the gut. Natural sources of collagen and glucosamine can support joint comfort, while balanced minerals like calcium and antioxidants promote bone strength and immune health.

High‑quality animal protein supports strong muscles and a healthy metabolism.
Omega‑3 and omega‑6 fatty acids help maintain skin health, coat shine and cognitive function.
Gentle fibre and prebiotics (such as chicory root and yucca) support comfortable digestion.
Natural joint‑supporting ingredients help maintain mobility and ease.

Every Marleybones recipe is complete and balanced for all life stages - puppy, adult or senior. Using quality meats and responsibly grown vegetables, we aim to offer freshness, clarity and sustainability in each box.

Pantry Fresh® meals are slow‑cooked in their pack to retain nutrients without freezing or preservatives.

How to choose and serve the best food for your Dogo Argentino

Select high‑quality, slow‑cooked and balanced meals, serve the right portions, and consider your dog's age, activity and sensitivities.

When choosing food, look for named animal proteins and visible vegetables. Prioritise meals that mention slow‑cooked or fresh preparation methods - these support digestibility and preserve nutrients. Marleybones is transparent about its preparation, offering in‑pack slow cooking to maintain ingredient integrity.

Portion control helps maintain an ideal weight and consistent energy. Tailor meal sizes to your dog's daily activity, and keep to regular feeding times to aid digestion and routine. Dogs with specific needs - such as sensitive skin or joints - may benefit from targeted supplements like omega oil or a gut‑health formula. Always discuss changes with your vet to ensure your choice matches your dog's health profile.

Check labels for named proteins and clear cooking methods.
Adjust calories and portions based on daily activity.
Keep mealtimes consistent for steady digestion.
Introduce supplements only when necessary and after consulting your vet.
