About Us
At Puppy Platters, we believe your furry family members deserve to eat as well as you do. Frustrated by the lack of truly wholesome dog food options, we set out to create something different — fresh, chef-crafted food made with real ingredients and zero synthetic additives.
Our recipes were developed by Chef Ryan and local experts using restaurant-quality ingredients designed to complement a dog’s primary diet — often kibble — by adding fresh, whole food nutrition. While not a complete and balanced meal, each Puppy Platters recipe is thoughtfully formulated as a topper or mixer, offering a simple and affordable way to boost your pet’s daily nutrition.
We chose not to include synthetic vitamins in our food, because we believe in a more natural, whole foods–based approach.
Made locally in small batches in our commercial kitchen with carefully sourced ingredients, our meals reflect the same quality and care we’d expect for our own families. With mess-free packaging, simple portioning, and a commitment to transparency, Puppy Platters is here to make fresh feeding easy, honest, and joyful — one bowl at a time.
Meet the Team
Chef Ryan
CEO & CO-FOUNDER
With 25 years of experience in the restaurant industry, Chef Ryan has dedicated his life to creating exceptional culinary experiences. In 2019, he launched Colorado's Traveling Chef, an in-home private chef service, bringing gourmet meals directly to clients.
While crafting meals for his clients, Chef Ryan noticed a growing trend: many were making or purchasing fresh dog food for their pets. This sparked an idea. As he worked with high-quality ingredients daily, he realized many of these were ideal for nutritious, homemade dog food.
Inspired, Chef Ryan teamed up with a local pet specialist to create Puppy Platters, a wholesome and delicious dog food recipe that pets can’t resist. Of all his achievements, Chef Ryan considers this one of his most rewarding—bringing the same love and care to your furry family members that he does to his human clients.
Chef Ryan is thrilled to share Puppy Platters with you and your beloved pets!
France-Lee
CO-FOUNDER
With 15 years of experience in the tech industry, France-Lee has a proven track record of turning ideas into groundbreaking products. At Google, she spent over a decade leading teams and building tech products from the ground up, serving millions of users worldwide.
A lifelong traveler, France-Lee’s on-the-go lifestyle meant she could never have a dog—until the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. She finally adopted Loki, a rescue pup from Soul Dog Rescue, and she fell in love. However, when searching for quality dog food, she was disheartened by the lack of fresh, nutritious options on the market.
That’s when she met Chef Ryan. Sharing a mutual interest in elevating pet nutrition, they teamed up to create Puppy Platters, combining Chef Ryan’s culinary expertise with France-Lee’s knack for building transformative products.
Today, Loki proudly serves as Chief Tasting Officer, ensuring every bite of Puppy Platters is as delicious as it is nutritious. France-Lee is thrilled to help dogs everywhere enjoy healthier, happier lives.
