Boost Your Dog's Health Today!
Welcome to Bow-WOW Bistro, where you can expect delicious home-style cooked meals for your pup, using only quality ingredients for a nutritious pet-food alternative. Our meals are gently cooked, nutritionally balanced, and packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and tail-wagging goodness. We believe that dogs deserve food that’s not just delicious, but truly nourishing.
Nourishing Your Dog's Life, One Meal at a Time
Our whole-food meals support a healthy, vibrant lifestyle and are designed to meet your pup’s daily nutritional needs—naturally.
We use only the finest human-grade ingredients, the kind you’d happily eat yourself. In fact, we invite you to sneak a little taste (this time) - next time they won't be sharing with you!
We severely limit the use of salt, which can be harmful to dogs. Instead, we season with a thoughtful blend of dog-safe herbs and spices that not only add flavor but boost wellbeing.
Because when it comes to our dogs, only the best will do.

About Us
Bow-WOW Bistro was born from a place close to home—our own beloved furkids. Our eldest pup struggled for years with skin allergies, chronic ear infections, and painful paws. Vet visits and medications piled up, but as lovers of holistic wellness, we knew there had to be a better way.
That’s when our journey into canine nutrition began. We started researching gut health, immunity, and the vital role of food as medicine. What followed was a deep dive into the proper nutritional needs of dogs—balancing proteins, grains, and vegetables, while carefully selecting the right vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that support their health from the inside out.
Balanced Nutrition
Each meal is lovingly balanced and scaled to a 50-25-25 ratio of Proteins, Veg and Grains.
You can be assured that each meal is prepared and shared with your pup's health in mind.
Not only do our meals taste and smell great, but they'll provide a natural boost to your dog's immunity & wellbeing.
Our meals can be combined with your current dry kibble or given on its own... the choice is yours as pet-parent.
Special Occasions
We are Happy to announce that we'll be able to provide your furbaby with their next Pup-cake!!
Now you can celebrate in style!!
Our Pup-cakes will only be available in the Gauteng area (for now) and will include a delivery fee.

Bow_WOW Food Guidelines
Bow-WOW Foods
We use only human-grade foods that are wholesome and nutritious. Each pet is unique and only you know if your pet has any food allergies or sensitivities, so we recommend that you read the ingredient list carefully before placing an order.
We also suggest that you list any allergies that your pup might have so that we can double check and make sure to notify you of any meals that might include ingredients that you are not ok with including in your pup’s diet…. You could always order an extra “meal of the day” to keep in the fridge or freezer to substitute for the meal you don’t want to include in your order for the week. (Please note that orders will only be available from Monday to Friday, so if you require any additional meals for the weekend, you can just let us know if you’d like any additional meals prepped for collection during the week that can be frozen at home for your convenience.)
