ESSENTIAL FOODS is a premium dog food brand founded in 2013 by Christian Degner-Elsner, built around a simple mission: to improve and prolong the lives of dogs through exceptional nutrition. The brand is best known for its BOF (Behavioural Optimizing Foods) principle, with recipes designed to help maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
Its range focuses on grain-free, high-meat recipes made with large amounts of fresh meat and fish, prepared at low temperatures to help preserve nutritional value. Across its British Heritage Kitchens range, ESSENTIAL FOODS places a strong emphasis on carefully sourced ingredients, including free-range, local and regional produce such as British chicken, lamb, duck and Scottish salmon.
Beyond nutrition, ESSENTIAL FOODS presents itself as a purpose-led company with a strong commitment to animal welfare, nature and rescue work through its charity programme. In short, this is a brand that combines luxury positioning with clear nutritional principles, premium sourcing and a strong ethical story.
