"I didn't expect their food to look like this"
Looks different, because it's made differently
Gently pressed at low temperatures, unlike traditional baked kibble, which packs in flavour and nutrients. Our food is closer to raw, but with all the convenience of a dry biscuit.
Your Recipe Includes:
🦆Duck (42%)
High meat percentage. Meat fit for human consumption.
Sweet Potato (27%) & Potato (17%) Peas & Carrots, Apple, Seaweed, Chicory Inulin, Fennel, Sage, Thyme & Oregano, Turmeric, Dandelion Root.
Grain, wheat gluten and rice free. Suitable for adult and senior dogs.
The Barney & Max Difference:
We only use a low heat to make our food. This gentle process alongside our complementary recipes mean Barney & Max is:
✔ Contains meat made to human food standards
✔ Packed with goodness
✔ Aids digestion
✔ Helps the immune system
✔ Promotes well-being and general health.
✔ Supports healthy joints
✔ Helps maintain a healthy, shiny coat
Suitable to be fed with raw. Unlike traditional kibble, which can sometimes cause issues if mixed with raw.
Can be mixed with water to soften into paste, for a softer diet or a lick mat treat
No risk trial, with our 100% happiness guarantee. See the results for you and your furry family today
Great Value For You
Our cold pressed food is packed with protein & nutrients, most dogs need a smaller serving than traditional baked kibble.
They’ll still feel full - just without the heavy stomach load.
The Cold Pressed Difference
A much lower temperature bake (around 50℃) which keeps nutrients in
Higher nutritional value per serving. Stable energy.
Supports smaller poos, less gas and fewer allergies!
Move away from traditional kibble.
Join the Barney & Max family today.
Easy Digestion
Traditional extruded kibble expands when exposed to liquid.
Cold pressed food behaves differently. It tends to gently break down rather than swell significantly. Many owners prefer this, especially for dogs with sensitive digestion.
For All Life Stages
packed with goodness so its fine for puppies, adults and senior dogs
Also suitable to feed alongside raw diets.
Approx 12g of food per kg of weight. The recommended amounts allow for a few treats during the day.
For best results split the daily amount into two feeds. This is because our food is quickly absorbed with a steady release of nutrients throughout the day.
Because our food is packed with goodness, you'll need less weight per meal v other brand who cook at a high heat.
When switching from another food provider gradually introduce our food as a treat for the first few days, then gradually into their daily meals and increase over the course of 2 weeks.
For example; Start as a treat, moving to 25% of main meals after day 3, 50% by the end of the first week, then 100% after week two.
If your dog has a sensitive tummy, introduce with a slower process over a 3 week period.
Our Chief Taste Testers
We started Barney & Max because we couldn’t find food good enough for our own dogs - so we made it ourselves. And decided to name the business after them too!

Barney & Max is gently prepared to support:
• Easier digestion
• Firmer stools

• A calmer tummy

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?
All life stages, depending on the recipe. Our Chicken recipes are suitable from 8 weeks old through to senior dogs.
Our duck and fish recipes are suitable for adult and 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?
For fussy eaters. We recommend you try a taster pack first to see how you get on. If you buy again we'll refund the price of the taster pack off your 2nd order (for 3kg and above).
For sensitive stomachs or skin conditions. We recommend you try a 3kg or 5kg pack, which will give you enough time to start to see the benefits.
For everyone else. We’re confident most dogs will love it. But for your peace of mind we accept returns even of opened bags, however you will cover the initial cost of delivery and when its back at our returns centre, we'll refund you in full.
If you experience any issues, contact us and we’ll put things right.
