Three dogs came home.
The rest kept eating filler.

Chris adopted Nacho, then Nala. Ryan adopted Whisky. Most shelter stories end there: sign the papers, drive home, gate closes behind you.

Theirs didn't. Shelters run on donations and volunteer hours, and food is the biggest recurring cost, so bowls get filled with whatever's cheapest: rendered meat meal, wheat and corn filler. Survivable, not thriving, for animals already carrying enough: stress, an unknown history, one diet change too many.

They couldn't adopt 150 dogs. What they could do was build a food company where shelter support comes first, not funded by leftover profit. Enter Buddy Bites: human-grade dog and cat food, meat as the number one ingredient, and 1kg donated for every 2kg bought.

“We could take one dog each. We could not take the shelter. So we made the shelter part of the business instead of part of the marketing.”

Only the good stuff

  • Made in Europe

Making sure our food is no.1

We partner closely with certified pet nutritionists and Hong Kong based vets to formulate recipes packed with only the ingredients your pup needs. The bag that goes to the shelter is this exact recipe. Not a cheaper version, not near-expiry stock, not a different formula in a plain sack.

It is amazing how much of our job involves talking about poo. Gut-friendly prebiotics go into all our recipes, because consistent poos start with consistent dog food.

Same buddy. Same hunger.
