Is DatGud a good brand for dog and cat food in India?
Yes. DatGud is a reliable, high-quality choice for Indian pet parents. Our recipes are formulated as per AAFCO standards and are manufactured locally in India. This ensures the food is fresh and hasn't lost nutrients during long months of sea transit.
Does DatGud offer food for all life stages?
We provide specialized nutrition for specific stages:
- For Dogs: We have dedicated formulas for Puppies (growth and immunity) and Adult Dogs (energy and maintenance).
For Cats: We offer a balanced formula for Adult Cats.
What are the main ingredients in DatGud Dog & Cat food?
We use a balanced mix of energy-giving grains and high-quality proteins. Our key ingredients include Brown Rice and Sorghum for easy digestion, combined with Dehydrated Chicken, Marine Fish, and Fresh Ocean Fish. We also include Antarctic Krill and Marine Lipids to provide essential Omega fatty acids (EPA & DHA).
How is DatGud different from other pet food brands?
DatGud bridges the gap between expensive imports and low-quality local brands. We focus on three core pillars:
- Freshness Over Transit: DatGud is made fresh in India using USA-developed recipes, ensuring the natural fats and nutrients haven't oxidized by the time they reach your pet's bowl.
- Smart Carbs: We use Brown Rice and Sorghum, which are ancient grains that provide steady energy and are much easier on your pet's digestive system.
- Rare Functional Ingredients: We include high-end ingredients usually found only in "prescription" diets, such as Antarctic Krill for brain health and Glucosamine for joint support, at an honest, everyday price.
Feeding & Storage
How do I switch my pet to DatGud food?
Switch gradually over 7 days:
- Day 1–2: 25% DatGud + 75% old food
- Day 3–4: 50% DatGud + 50% old food
- Day 5–6: 75% DatGud + 25% old food
- Day 7: 100% DatGud
This prevents digestive upset and helps your pet adjust smoothly.
What should I do if my pet refuses to eat Datgud food?
If your pet is a picky eater, try adding a little warm water to the kibble to release the natural aromas. If they still won't eat it after a proper 7-day transition, Datgud offers a 10-day satisfaction guarantee where we can help with a replacement or refund.
How long does DatGud dry food stay fresh after opening?
Once the bag is open, the food is best consumed within 3 to 4 weeks. To maintain the crunch and flavor, always seal the built-in zip-lock tightly or store the food in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Does DatGud pet food expire?
Unopened bags have a shelf life of 18 months from the date of manufacture. Our 3-layer packaging protects the ingredients from light and moisture to ensure the food stays safe and nutritious until the expiry date.

Return & Refund
What if my pet doesn't like the specific ingredients in DatGud?
While we use a 95% palatability formula, every pet has different tastes. If your pet refuses the food after a 7-day transition, contact us at petcare@growelfeeds.com within 10 days of purchase. We offer a satisfaction guarantee that includes replacement or refund options.
What should I do if the food looks or smells different?
Because we use natural ingredients like Marine Fish and Krill, the aroma may be stronger than "cereal-heavy" brands. This is normal! However, if the packaging is damaged or you feel the quality is off, send us a photo and your Order ID, and we will replace it for free.
