01 / GENERAL

Clumsy Chef is a pet treat brand based in Las Vegas, Nevada, making freeze-dried treats, meal toppers, soft-baked goodies, and seasonal surprises for dogs and cats. We're here for the pet parents who can barely make dinner for themselves but somehow run a five-star kitchen for their pets. Sound familiar? Welcome to the club. We're all just clumsy chefs.

You can shop our treats right here at clumsychefs.com. We also pop up at local markets and events, and you may find us through select retail partners. Follow us on Instagram @clumsychef_ for upcoming events, new flavors, and a little kitchen chaos.

We offer treats and toppers for both dogs and cats! Not every product is necessarily suitable for every pet, so please check the individual product description, ingredients, and feeding guidance before serving.

02 / OUR TREATS & INGREDIENTS

We like to keep things fun in the kitchen and thoughtful in the treat bag. Our collection includes freeze-dried ingredients, versatile meal toppers, our signature Golden Drops, and seasonal treats made for memorable moments. Expect playful ideas, clearly described products, and a whole lot of personality.

Our products labeled as single-ingredient freeze-dried treats are made with the ingredient listed on their packaging. Other products, including Golden Drops and certain specialty treats, may contain multiple ingredients. Always check the individual product label for the complete ingredient list.

Freeze-drying is a preservation method that freezes food and then removes much of its moisture under low pressure. It creates lightweight, shelf-stable products when appropriately processed and packaged. Freeze-drying is different from conventional baking or dehydration, and products should still be handled and stored according to their labels.

Our freeze-dried treats contain no added preservatives. Freeze-drying removes moisture to help preserve the ingredients without the need for added preservatives.

For our other treats and toppers, please check the individual product labels for complete ingredient information.

Always check the complete ingredient list before offering a new treat. If your pet has a diagnosed or suspected food allergy, ask your veterinarian whether a product is appropriate. Unless specifically stated and verified, our products should not be assumed to be free from cross-contact with other ingredients.

It depends on your pet's age, size, development, diet, and the specific product. Check the product's feeding information and consult your veterinarian before introducing treats to young puppies or kittens. Always offer appropriately sized pieces under supervision.

Treats are intended to complement a complete and balanced diet, not replace regular meals. A common veterinary guideline is to keep treats at no more than 10% of daily calories, though individual needs vary. Check the product's feeding guidance and ask your veterinarian if you're unsure about portions.

Follow the storage instructions printed on each package. In general, protect dry treats from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight, reseal opened packages carefully, and use products within the stated shelf life. Storage requirements can differ between freeze-dried treats, powders, and soft-baked products.
