Our story
Realfood,madebyhand,forthedogswelove.
Made in Melbourne
A local kitchen, not a factory line.
Paw-a-licious is made right here in Melbourne, in small batches — not on an industrial production line. That means more attention in every tub, and food that actually looks like something a dog would want to eat, because it is.
Small batches, on purpose
We portion it fresh, in batches you can actually see.
Every batch is gently cooked with a real protein — chicken, beef, turkey or kangaroo — folded through sweet potato, pumpkin, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, zucchini, mushroom and brown rice. Then it's portioned into tubs and frozen fresh, ready to deliver or collect.
No fillers, no nasties
If we wouldn't recognise it, it's not going in the bowl.
No fillers, no preservatives, no artificial colours or flavours — just real ingredients you can actually name. It's the same standard we'd want for our own food, applied to theirs.
Watch the goodness
Small batches, cooked with real care.
Real food, real love, real reactions — every recipe is prepared and portioned right here in Melbourne.
Not customer reviews — the real critics
Meet our taste-testers
We don't have a wall of star ratings — we have Mitso and friends, who show up every single time a fresh batch comes out of the kitchen.
Head Taste-Tester
Mitso
Our resident golden-haired supervisor. Mitso checks every recipe the same way — nose first, tail second, bowl licked clean third.
Snack Enthusiast
The Hoodie Crew
One of our other regular taste-testers — always first to the kitchen, blue hoodie and all, the moment a fresh batch comes out.
Professional Napper
Paw-some
Naps through most of the day, but somehow always wakes up the exact second a fresh tub gets opened. Never once missed a bowl.
What dogs (and their people) are saying
★★★★★
“We have been using Paw-a-licious for some time now and Gigi absolutely loves it. It's so convenient having the food come frozen, and the portion sizes are perfect. The food looks so amazing and fresh that I'm even tempted to give it a try myself! It's so important to know what your dog is eating, and ever since we started using Paw-a-licious, we've noticed Gigi's energy levels are up and her coat is so shiny. Thank you, Rachelle and the team at Paw-a-licious!”

“When it comes to our family meals, we go above and beyond to make sure we're eating right. We have five in our family — four humans and our precious dog Cooper, who is a very big part of our family. When it comes to Cooper's food, we love giving him homemade meals, as we believe he deserves to eat healthy meals just like us. Ever since trying Paw-a-licious, all the hard work has been taken away from our busy schedule, and we know Cooper is getting 100% healthy, home-cooked meals with a variety of different meats. I highly recommend Paw-a-licious to all our family and friends, as our dogs really do deserve the best.”
— Tania, Cooper's mum

“Our fur baby Max is absolutely loving Paw-a-licious! He has never been one to eat canned dog food, so it's been so easy and convenient to have nutritious, home-cooked food for him. The whole process with Rachelle, from ordering through to delivery, has been so easy and convenient. Highly recommend!”
