Why Leaps

Food is the first course of action.

Specifically formulated for dogs with cancer.

Unlike kibble and other "fresh" food options, Leaps doesn't cut corners on nutritional quality. Our recipes are filled with premium ingredients to make sure your dog loads up on the right nutrients for their fight.

Whole foods for a complete, balanced diet.

Leaps recipes are made with whole foods, not fillers or synthetics. Each ingredient serves a specific purpose for dogs with cancer—whether it’s to reduce inflammation, support immune function, or build muscle.

Gently cooked for maximum nutritional value.

Raw food poses a higher risk of bacterial infection for immune-compromised dogs while the kibble process degrades nutritional quality. Leaps food makes nutrient-rich, appetizing, easy-to-digest meals.

Learn About Our Science
Lower Inflammation

Leaps provides a boost of healthy fats (like the Omega-3s EPA and DHA) that have been shown to inhibit tumor development. Our recipes have a balanced Omega 6:3 ratio of less than 2:1 to reduce inflammation.

Better mood, more energy

A well-fed dog is a happy dog. Improved nutrition can help your dog feel more comfortable and boost their mood.

Stronger Immune System

Dogs with cancer often have suppressed immune systems. Our recipes are filled with ingredients specifically chosen for their immune-support properties.

Better Digestion

Cancer—and cancer treatments—can be hard on stomachs. Leaps’ slow-cooked method is easy for dogs to digest.

Healthy skin, coat, and more

In addition to cancer-specific benefits, our ingredients also support healthier eyes, skin, coats, bones, and teeth.

Balanced Weight

Maintaining a healthy weight is critical when battling cancer. Diets that are high in protein and healthy fats help combat metabolic challenges caused by cancer, giving dogs more fuel for the fight.

Dogs don't love carbs, but cancer does.

Carbohydrates aren’t a natural component of a dog’s diet. And they’re particularly bad for dogs living with cancer, as carbs break down into sugar and sugar feeds cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Leaps and if it’s right for your dog?

What makes Leaps different?

We set out with one goal in mind: to create the best possible diet for dogs living with cancer. We invest in premium ingredients that competitors exclude or minimize due to cost. We’ve also spent time with leading veterinarians, oncologiests, and pet nutritionists to better understand what dogs living with cancer really need and deliver it in the safest, healthiest, most convenient way possible.

My dog has cancer. How long do I feed them Leaps?

Indefinitely! Metabolic changes caused by cancer are permanent. That's why it's important to keep your dog on the right diet even after receiving treatment and/or entering remission. We recommend feeding your dog Leaps in the early days of a cancer diagnosis, and long after they’re cancer-free.

Is Leaps only for dogs with cancer?

While Leaps has been formulated specifically with cancer in mind (and invests in premium ingredients accordingly), it’s a complete and balanced diet suitable for all adult dogs. Our dietary approach and many of our ingredients have also been linked to a reduced risk of developing cancer, for those looking to stay a step ahead.

Which Leaps recipe is right for my dog?

Each of our formulas is tailored to help your dog fight cancer and offers a range of health benefits. We also use multiple protein sources in each recipe, to ensure that your dog gets the benefits of a wider range of amino acids and nutrients.

For dogs who are struggling to gain or maintain a healthy weight, we recommend the Beef, Mushroom, and Leafy Greens recipe. For dogs who have sensitive stomachs, we recommend the Turkey, Whitefish, and Squash recipe. For dogs who need to eat a leaner diet, we recommend the Whitefish, Sardines, and Veggies recipe.

If none of the above applies, we recommend simply adhering to your dog's preferences!

How do I transition my dog’s diet to Leaps?

It can take time for your dog to adapt to a new diet, especially if it's a bigger change (i.e. high-carb kibble to low-carb fresh). We recommend incorporating Leaps into your dog's diet slowly, using the following schedule.

If your dog has a particularly sensitive stomach, we recommend a 10-day transition by adding an extra day for each step. If your dog experiences minor digestive issues, slow down the transition until side effects resolve and then try ramping back up.

How much should I feed mydog?

Have questions or are unsure about your dog’s serving size? Email us and we can help.

How should I store and serve Leaps—and how long will it stay fresh?

We use vacuum-sealed packaging to lock in freshness and extend shelf life without the need for preservatives. Unopened packages can last up to 6 months in the freezer, and up to 4 days in the fridge once thawed. Opened packages should be refrigerated in a reusable container or bag and can be served for up to 3 additional days.

Where does Leaps ship?
