Fuel for every wag, walk, and woof
We make food that keeps tails wagging and paws moving. High in human grade meat and fish, each bowl supports vitality, coat health, and long-term wellbeing - so they can live their happiest, healthiest life.
These ingredients are used within our Grain Free Chicken & Sweet Potato range...
Easy To Digest
Traditional extruded kibble expands when exposed to liquid (or in their stomach).
Cold pressed food behaves differently. It will gently break down rather than swell significantly. Many owners prefer this, especially for dogs with sensitive digestion.
Made with love, because they love you
The food you give them is a way to show love. Every bag supports their health, happiness, and your moments together.
A Bowl They'll Finish
Barney & Max is crafted for maximum taste - so even the fussiest eaters finish every last bite.
Gently prepared with natural oils to boost smell and taste
From the first sniff to the last bite, it’s a bowl worth running to.
Barney & Max. We Believe In Better
Our Chief Taste Testers
Our boys, brothers, who made our family complete. Barney is the fussy one, he loves 'his' recipes, trust us, if he eats it, it must be good! And Max? To be honest he'll eat just about anything, but we rest happy in the knowledge that these recipes give him all the nutrition he needs.

What is cold pressed dog food?
Cold pressed food is made at lower temperatures than traditional extruded kibble.
Many big brands use extreme heat to cook quickly and cut costs. This can:
• Damage some nutrients
• Make proteins harder to digest
• Reduce overall nutritional value
Barney & Max is gently prepared to support:
• Easier digestion
• Firmer stools
• Better nutrient absorption
• A calmer tummy
When will I get my order?

Where are your recipes made?
Our recipes are made with care in the Yorkshire Dales in the UK to the highest of pet food standards. Our recipes are batch cooked in small quantities to ensure consistency and quality.
Is Barney & Max suitable for sensitive stomachs?
Yes — our recipes are designed to support digestive health.
We avoid common fillers and include:
- Turmeric - Can help improve digestion by stimulating the liver, which breaks down fats and aids in nutrient absorption. Its active ingredient, curcumin, acts as an anti-inflammatory that can reduce bloating, gas, and gastrointestinal issues
- Chicory inulin (a natural prebiotic)
Natural herbs like fennel, sage and thyme - Clearly named protein sources
- No artificial additives
Many customers choose Barney & Max for dogs experiencing loose stools, gassiness or unpredictable digestion.
Is it grain free?
Yes. All Barney & Max recipes are grain free.
Dogs naturally thrive on meat-based diets. Our recipes use vegetables such as sweet potato and potato instead of grain-based fillers
How much should I feed my dog?
Feeding amounts depend on:
• Age
• Breed
• Activity level
• Weight
As a guide, daily portions typically range from around 80g for very small dogs to 700g+ for large breeds.
For best results:
• Split into two meals per day
• Always ensure fresh drinking water is available
• Adjust slightly based on body condition and activity
Full feeding tables are available on product pages.
What age range is it suitable for?
Yes. Our recipes are suitable from 4 weeks old (weaning) through to senior dogs.
Puppies have different feeding requirements based on expected adult weight and age in months — refer to our Puppy Feeding Guide for specific amounts.
What if my dog doesn’t like it?
We’re confident most dogs love it. But for your peace of mind we offer a 100% money back no quibble guarantee.
