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 does a Wire Fox Terrier need in its diet?

Wire Fox Terriers need a diet rich in high-quality protein, joint-supporting nutrients, easily digestible ingredients, balanced energy sources and gentle dental care.

Wire Fox Terriers are small yet highly active dogs. They thrive on lean, high-quality proteins that help maintain strong muscles after a full day of play. Fresh chicken, salmon, beef or lamb supply the amino acids their bodies need. Omega‑3 fatty acids offer additional support for joint health and can help reduce inflammation with age.

Smaller breeds may be more prone to sensitive tummies, so easily digestible meals with gentle carbohydrates and prebiotic fibres are ideal. Ingredients such as chicory root and yucca promote a balanced gut environment and can ease food sensitivities. Meals with higher moisture and good nutrient density also help limit plaque, while balanced fats and complex carbohydrates provide steady energy for play and learning.

Lean proteins to preserve muscle and aid recovery
Omega‑3s and minerals for joint resilience
Prebiotic fibres to support comfortable digestion
Moderate carbohydrates and fats for sustained energy
Moist, nutrient-rich textures to support oral hygiene

Which nutrients support a Wire Fox Terrier's energy and health?

Essential nutrients for Wire Fox Terriers include omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins, natural prebiotics, lean proteins and bone-supporting minerals.

Omega‑3 and omega‑6 fatty acids help maintain a shiny coat and reduce joint inflammation - both key for an active terrier. Meals made with chicken, salmon, beef or lamb provide vital amino acids for agile muscles. Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, strengthen immune health and everyday resilience.

Prebiotic fibres from ingredients like chicory root and yucca improve digestion and enhance nutrient absorption. Calcium and phosphorus help support strong bones and teeth - essential when your terrier is leaping, digging or exploring. Marleybones' hero recipes - Chic Chicken, Boss Beef, Lush Lamb and Sassy Salmon - bring these nutrients together in balanced, wholesome meals.
