the lifestyle

Foggy night with man and a dog

It's the countryside you can truly call home

ESSENTIALS is created with the vision of bringing you the good life of the British Countryside in an instant. Anywhere, anytime. That’s what we do. We take you to this magical place. For those of you who share our love of the countryside, we have a range of

tributes on our shelves, with ESTATE LIVING and HIGHLAND LIVING as perhaps the beacons leading the way with an elegant list of ingredients including grass-reared British lamb, Scottish Angus and free-range venison.

Exploring the world
with your dog

For hotel and dog lovers, we proudly launched Rhonda’s Choice in 2021, a travel club featuring the very best luxury and boutique hotels where the WHOLE family can stay.
Making it easy and enjoyable for you to explore the world with your dog is beyond important to us. Besides our travel club, we have treats and

accessories to assist you on your journey. Keeping your dog’s mind off the travelling can be useful at certain points, hence our assortment of chewy treats. The SMALL FOOD BOX makes it easy to bring the right amount of meals with you, and the DOG DIARY allows you to note down the memories you create along the way.

It's the suburban roads
you love to roam

There’s no place like your long-time neighbourhood, where you and the whole family can roam freely and experience the joy of unplanned encounters with someone you know. There’s nothing quite like a spark of everyday kindness.

For you suburbanites living the good life, we have carefully formulated our LIVING range for

uncomplicated switches between recipes, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of varying the servings.

And for those neighbourhood walks, we have our luxurious FINEST range of treats, handmade and air-dried in Yorkshire, in the North of England.

Home is where the heart is, always.

A dog in the city

When the urban jungle
is your kingdom

Observing the deserted landscape in the early hours before the city awakes is a truly magical thing, as is leaning back in the small green oases where you can hide in plain sight while the city life buzzes around you. To make life in the city just that little bit easier, we offer all our meals in easy-to-carry 3 kg bags, and some even come in 1 kg and 1.5 kg bags.

Yet, our tribute to  the cosmopolitan lifestyle doesn’t stop there.

Our OMEGA 3 OIL supplements and the ESSENTIAL MOBILITY BLENDS are crafted to ensure our love for our dogs of a certain age is met and reflected in ways that could improve their life quality.

CHARITY

programme

Our meals and assortment aside, this is our greatest pride and joy. We wholeheartedly believe it is our purpose in life – our raison d’être.

Based on the grand vision of our founder, Christian Degner-Elsner, we have, over the past decade, built a programme empowering people and organisations to change, improve and protect dogs & cats, our nature and wildlife.

As you can perhaps sense, we take great pride in managing a well-run company.

This is the foundation on which we make decisions exclusively rooted in our mission to improve and prolong the lives of dogs. Choosing ESSENTIALS is also choosing to believe that a company can exist to seek a positive change in the world. We seek this change through our foods and through our donations to our CHARITY programme. Ever eager to expand our impact, we match 1% of our global sales with donations.

In ESSENTIALS you will find a company with a soul and a mission that extends beyond profit.
