Questions about our jus
Jus’Cani® is a vegetarian, nourishing jus that you add to home-cooked meals for your dog. It contains vitamins, minerals, algae, herbs and functional nutrients so the meal becomes complete and balanced.
It’s not kibble and not a complete meal, but a complement to fresh food. You can also give it alongside kibble if you feed 2 meals a day.
Because you know best what should go in the bowl.
Home cooking gives you:
- More of a handle on your dog’s health
- Possibly less chance of sensitivities
- Variety, freshness and vitality
- Less waste (you use up leftovers)
- A stronger bond with your dog, because they absolutely love it
And with Jus’Cani®, you know the meal is nutritionally sound too.
In a 2024 study from the University of Teramo (Italy), 167 dogs were fed a personalised home-cooked diet with a vitamin and mineral supplement. Owners reported a clear improvement in almost all dogs with chronic gut or skin problems. Read the study: Homemade Diet as a Paramount for Dogs’ Health (PDF).

No. Jus'Cani is a
complementary pet food that you use alongside freshly cooked food. If you follow the
recipes from the recipe maker, the whole diet meets the
FEDIAF guidelines for adult dogs.
Easy peasy:
- Mix 1 part jus powder with 2 parts lukewarm water
- Stir it into your dog’s food
- Tuck in!
The jar shows the daily amount for your dog’s weight. Then simply stir the Jus through the rest of the meal.
That depends on your dog's weight, and the recipe maker works it out for you exactly.
Example (as in our leaflet):
- up to 5 kg → 10 g per day
- 10 kg → 15 g per day
- 20 kg → 25 g per day
- 30 kg → 32 g per day
- 40 kg → 40 g per day
- 50 kg → 50 g per day
All sorts! We've sorted the recipes into 5 groups.
Think of:
- Lentils, peas or chickpeas
- Potatoes, pasta or rice
- Veg such as pumpkin, carrot, beans, kale – or fruit
- Oils such as olive oil and coconut oil
- A protein-rich extra: this can be meat, fish, yoghurt or eggs, but seitan or your leftovers work too
Online you'll find free recipes based on your dog's weight.
Yes.
If your dog does well on kibble, you can simply pour Jus’Cani® over the kibble.
This gives:
- Extra flavour
- Extra nutritional value
- Support for healthy digestion
- More variety
That said, we do encourage you to (also) cook fresh now and then when you can.
For almost all dogs, including:
- Adult dogs, for everyday use (ADULT)
- Dogs with a sensitive tummy or skin (SENSITIVE)
- Active and older dogs, and fast-growing young dogs (MOTION)
The base Jus is vegetarian, easy to digest and 100% natural.
The base of Jus’Cani® is vegetarian and plant-based. We have added synthetic taurine, because we also want to support vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. That way there's a choice for everyone. In the recipe you can add meat or fish yourself, or egg and dairy. Vegetarian and planet-friendly options remain at the heart of it.
Jus’Cani® is actually a great fit for sensitive dogs.
Because you cook with pure ingredients yourself, you can see exactly what does and doesn't agree with your dog – and Jus’Cani® rounds off the whole meal.
In a 2024 Italian study, owners of dogs with chronic gut problems saw an improvement in 95% of cases after switching to a personalised home-cooked diet with a supplement. Read the study: Homemade Diet as a Paramount for Dogs’ Health (PDF).

We think very sustainable – but of course that also depends on the other ingredients you use.
- Local ingredients wherever possible
- Plant-based, low-impact raw materials (such as algae and seaweed)
- No animal products
- Less packaging waste
- A product that helps reduce food waste
You shrink your dog's ecological pawprint.
Yes, but in consultation with your vet or a nutrition expert. Puppies need different ratios, but with our recipes you can make a balanced meal for them too.
Yes – and your dog will love that too!
Unopened: months (see the best-before date on the jar). Once opened: store in a cool, dry place. Use made-up jus straight away.
For now our focus is on dogs, but in the near future we'll be turning our attention to cats too (much needed!)
Yes, in most cases it is.
The ingredients are:
- Vegetarian
- Free from common animal allergens
- Free from artificial additives
And in the menu maker you can indicate if your dog can't have certain things, such as beef or wheat. Not sure yet what your dog is allergic to? Then it's best to find that out together with your vet first.
Yes. The recipe maker works
with your dog's weight and activity level to set the
amounts. If your dog needs to lose weight, let your vet decide the target weight and the pace,
and use that weight as your starting point in the
recipe maker.
That rarely happens – dogs love Jus’Cani®.
Tips:
- Start by mixing a little jus into some meat, or whatever else your dog really loves
- Serve it slightly warmer
- Use less water (stronger flavour)

And at selected retailers and vets.
Because it literally is a jus – a gravy. And Canis is Latin for dog. So: a nourishing splash for your dog.
