What is ChefPaw? A Blender? Pressure Cooker?
Well actually it is all of these combined in one. While ChefPaw does not build up internal pressure, it mixes and cooks to combine the best aspects of low temperature cooking. The ChefPaw Pet Food Maker (Model C-PRO) can be set to speed one and minimally chop up the food for a chunky batch. ChefPaw (Model C-PRO) has a total of 12 mixing speeds to choose from allowing you to make a batch super chunky, completely blended, and everything in-between.
How fast will the ChefPaw Pay for itself?
Designed to pay for itself, ChefPaw gives your wallet the break it deserves. ChefPaw is here to help both your dog and you in the long run! This is why a multiple-dog household can see ChefPaw pay for itself in just 3-4 weeks.
How much does ChefPaw cost?
We are introducing our flagship model C-PRO that makes up to 6.4lbs (3L) of pet food in just 40 minutes for the price of $599.
How does a DIY dog food maker work?
ChefPaw brings you delicious cooked food our dogs love in just 3 easy steps.
Step 1: Use the ChefPaw app to quickly load in your dog's favorite recipe. Remember, the app lets you pick from three category recipes for endless options so your dog never has to eat the same meal day after day again — unless they want to!
Step 2: Load in the recipe's ingredients and turn ChefPaw on.
Step 3: This one is personally our favorite. Just sit back and relax. 40 minutes later you have fresh homemade dog food ready to serve.
Automatic mixing blades are strong enough for the toughest ingredients, from raw meats to tough vegetables, saving you time and energy on food prep.
With controls for temperature and time, you can quickly dial in ChefPaw to minimize the loss of nutrients. Something even the best commercial foods struggle to achieve.
What are the best ingredients to use with ChefPaw The Pet Food Maker?
From energy-boosting ingredients such as whole wheat macaroni, brown rice, and veggies like green beans to high-protein foods that dogs love such as turkey and beef, ChefPaw always works to bring out the best in your dog's favorite foods.
To get an idea of which ingredients work best for your dog and your budget, we've included several features in the ChefPaw app to make choosing the best ingredients easy.
Our suggested recipes are a great place to start as they bring you many of the most popular recipes around. Then our nutrient analyzer will help you quickly swap out any ingredient that isn't working best for one that does, so the meal never skips a gap in nutrition. Dry kibble and store-bought pet food just can't compare to the fresh foods ChefPaw can create!
Is the cooking process lengthy?
Standard cooking time is only 40 minutes. ChefPaw comes with a variety of temperature options for additional cooking times. However, while this means you can cook your dog's food in under 40 minutes, you open it to some of the issues seen with commercial foods that aggressively cook their food, placing a profit over optional nutrition.
Do I need to clean the ChefPaw Bowl?
Because you'll be cooking so many tasty meals for your dog with a variety of food items like meat, protein, and vegetables, ChefPaw will need regular cleaning. But don't expect to be putting extra work in cleaning it vs. your typical food appliance, such as a food processor.
ChefPaw can be quickly cleaned with soap and water and will come with detailed instructions on how to best care for it and even features a handy self-cleaning mode!
Does ChefPaw suggested recipes conform to AAFCO or NRC standards?
Our recipes actually go beyond AAFCO and NRC standards which are surprisingly limited in scope. AAFCO standards only provide recommended minimums for 36 nutrients and recommended maximums for 12 nutrients. AAFCO is also based per kg of food without regard for the size or activity level of the dog. The NRC standards provide recommended amounts for the same 36 nutrients as AAFCO, recommended minimums for 18 nutrients, and recommended maximums for 6 nutrients. Those NRC standards are also based on a 33lbs dog eating 1000 calories per day without regard to activity level or the needs of dogs significantly smaller or larger than 33 lbs.
Both the NRC and AAFCO ignore many nutrients that veterinarians and modern science indicate are key. For example, while many vets and scientific researchers support the conclusion that the nutrient Taurine is important for dog cardiac health, the NRC/AAFCO only recommends taurine for cats. More commonly recognized nutrients like cholesterol are also absent from official AAFCO/NRC standards.
In order to go beyond AAFCO and NRC standards, we custom-developed our patent-pending ChefPaw app which tracks 68 nutrients and then compares the nutrients in a recipe with the unique profile of your pet. Size, activity level, food allergies, food intolerances, and health conditions dramatically affect the nutritional needs of each dog. The ChefPaw dog food maker, the ChefPaw app, and ChefPaw suggested recipes are the latest game-changing developments from our team of professionals at Innovet Pet Products who have been making cutting-edge pet products since 2005. Every aspect of ChefPaw is also developed with the consultation of licensed veterinarians, veterinary nutritionists, and CVFT's.
Additionally, like humans, dogs appreciate and are better off with variety in their diet. Accordingly, the ChefPaw app analyzes the nutritional impact of not just 1 recipe, it analyzes the nutritional impact of an entire meal plan using many different recipes. This way the emphasis no longer has to be on finding artificial ways to get each recipe to hit 100% of nutritional goals, instead the emphasis can be more meaningful - finding the best combinations of recipes to naturally hit 98.8% of the nutritional goals, then nutritional supplements are only needed to cover the final 1.2%
Despite their limitations, the AAFCO and NRC are a great starting point for developing any dog food recipe, therefore ChefPaw customers wanting to create or compare any recipe to those standards can easily do so in the ChefPaw app by entering a pet profile for an adult 33 lbs dog with a high activity level. The resulting nutrient recommendations will be in line with AAFCO/NRC standards.
The suggested ChefPaw recipes are general recipes based on commonly available ingredients from grocery stores in the USA. All pet food recipes require some nutritional supplementation in order to be considered balanced to AAFCO or NRC standards. Chefpaw's dietary supplement is included with Chefpaw's suggested recipes in order to supplement only the most common nutritional deficiencies. We can guarantee that our suggested recipes will be delicious and nutritious however we cannot guarantee they will be adequate for the specific needs of your particular pet. Custom recipes based on your pet's unique medical history can only be obtained by a licensed veterinarian.
Do you offer pay installments?
Yes, we offer Affirm and Shop Pay. Affirm will offer more financing options and allow you to pay one monthly installment + interest over the timeframe you choose. Shop Pay will offer interest free installments broken down into 4 total payments over the course of every 2 weeks.
What are the power requirments for the ChefPaw Machine?
We would like to provide you with some essential product information to take into consideration. The ChefPaw Dog Food Maker operates on a voltage of 110 VAC at 60Hz, however most European outlets supply power at 240 VAC at 50Hz. If you are situated in an area where European outlets are predominant, you may require a voltage converter transformer to ensure the proper operation of your ChefPaw Dog Food Maker. Please let us know if you are interested in purchasing a ChefPaw unit set up for a 240VAC please let us know. If traveling internationally with a standard ChefPaw set with standard US 110VAC power using a maximum of 1500 watts, we recommend using a 240 to 110 VAC converter/transformer that can handle at least 2000 watts.
Our ChefPaw Web-Based App is a sophisticated pet nutrition app. After setting up your pet's profile, you can use either our recommended ChefPaw recipes or your DIY recipes to compute a detailed nutritional breakdown for your pet. The app guides you step-by-step for each of our recommended recipes, making it easy to follow. While there are ChefPaw recipes readily available, the app also gives you the flexibility to create your own.
It's important to note that while the ChefPaw machine complements the app, they are separate and the machine can operate independently. Collectively, they provide a comprehensive suite of personalized, nutritious meal solutions for your pet.
A purchase of the ChefPaw Dog Food Maker comes with free access to our web-based app.

What Our Customers Say
Victoria D
After researching how commercial dog foods are created and distributed, I knew that I wanted to make my own at home for my dog. It seemed so overwhelming to me at first to know exactly what I needed to feed him. Chefs Paw makes it so easy and affordable to create food that even I could eat straight out of the bowl. My dog's fur is soft and shiny. And his eyes are bright and alert. He has boundless energy and is living life. It has truly changed both his and my life. I am so grateful."

I used to be subscribed to JustFoodForDogs for my Australian Shepard, Ghost. After a few months I found myself struggling to pay for their fresh dog food. At $10 a pound and 3 pounds a day Ghost was eating better than I was. To help cut back and still give Ghost fresh food I have been cooking homemade dog for him for the past year. He loves it, but I found it to be an all-day task between prepping, cooking, and the dreadful cleaning."
