Because nature knows best. Dogs thrive on natural, high-meat diets that are rich in quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. High-protein, meat-first dog food supports sustained energy, healthy digestion, strong muscles, skin and coat health, and overall vitality.

Our Baked & Coated recipes are made with premium animal ingredients as the foundation (never meat meals) and are free from grains, unnecessary fillers, and artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. It’s high-meat nutrition, just as nature intended.

Baked & Coated is a complete and balanced high-protein dog food with 40% protein. This premium, high-meat kibble is crafted from quality animal ingredients, without meat meals or unnecessary fillers, and enhanced with purposeful superfoods. Each piece is finished with a rich, savory bone broth coating for exceptional taste and complete daily nutrition dogs love.

At K9 Natural, we believe that where and how food is made matters. Baked & Coated is produced in Minnesota, USA, with a trusted family‑owned partner known for producing premium quality pet food. We pair their manufacturing expertise with our high‑meat philosophy and ethically sourced, sustainable, traceable ingredients from New Zealand and beyond to create Baked & Coated.

We take ingredient sourcing seriously. Our premium dog food ingredients are ethically and sustainably sourced from trusted partners around the world. Every ingredient is selected for a purpose; to support your dog’s health, performance, and well-being.

Every batch of Baked & Coated kibble is 100% traceable. Each production run is assigned a unique batch code that tracks ingredients from their origin through to the finished product. This commitment to transparency ensures consistent quality, safety, and accountability, so you can trust exactly what’s in your dog’s bowl.

Baked & Coated is designed to be fed as a complete daily meal. Use a standard 8 oz / 240 mL cup, follow the feeding guide on the pack, and adjust based on your dog’s age, size, and activity level. We recommend feeding twice daily and always providing fresh, clean water. You can find full feeding guidelines for all our formats here.
