Our Philosophy, For Your Family

Years ago, our founder tried to taste the food he was feeding his dog, who was suffering from skin rashes.

"You can't eat that," he was told. "It's dog food."

That single sentence became our standard: if we wouldn't eat it, it doesn't go in the bowl.

Nourishment You Can Trust

Most kibble on the market is mass-produced by candy or cereal companies. Not SHOGUN. Our recipes are crafted in Japan with real, carefully selected ingredients to truly support your dog's health and well-being.

Japanese Venison

Premium venison sourced from Japan. High in protein, low in fat, and rich in iron, supporting lean muscle and vitality.

Brown Rice

Whole grain brown rice provides sustained energy, dietary fiber for healthy digestion, and essential B vitamins.

Why SHOGUN?

Premium Dog Food Made with Japanese Venison

At SHOGUN, we use venison sourced from Japan as the main ingredient. It is high in protein, low in fat, and contains no other types of meat.

Non-Oil Coating Process

Most conventional dry foods go through a final step called oil coating. SHOGUN, however, is crafted without oil coating, preserving the natural flavor of the ingredients, enhancing water absorption, and allowing for easier digestion in the stomach.

Food-Grade Manufacturing & Quality Control

Produced at a pet food factory in Kyushu, Japan, operated by our group's food company certified with external standards such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and Organic JAS. Strict food-level manufacturing and quality management ensure safety and reliability.

Voices from Our Community

Beyond nutrition, SHOGUN connects people who see their dogs as family.
Here are stories of love, trust, and transformation from around the world.

My dog absolutely loves this food!

My dog loves this food! When a piece falls into the water bowl, it softens and breaks down easily, which reassures me it's digestible. With other kibbles that stayed hard, I often worried about poor absorption. Sometimes they even came back up in the same shape. With SHOGUN, I feel confident about my dog's digestion.

Noticeable difference in coat and energy

After switching to SHOGUN about three weeks ago, my Shiba Inu's coat has become noticeably shinier and softer. She also seems more energetic during our morning walks. I appreciate that it's made in Japan with venison and no mysterious ingredients. The kibble size is perfect for small breeds too.

Finally found food my picky eater enjoys

My Toy Poodle has always been a fussy eater and would turn away from most premium brands. But with SHOGUN, he finishes his bowl every single time. I think it's the natural bonito flavor, no artificial coating needed. As an owner, I feel good knowing every ingredient is food-grade quality.

FAQs

Q1. How is SHOGUN different from ordinary dry dog food?

Unlike many dry foods that use high-temperature, high-pressure "expansion manufacturing," SHOGUN is made using our proprietary "non-expansion manufacturing method" that minimizes nutrient destruction from heat. This preserves the natural flavors and nutrients of the ingredients, while also being easily digestible and dissolvable in water. We deliver gentle kibble that's like a homemade meal.

Q2. Why is SHOGUN called "Premium Hospitality Grade"?

SHOGUN was born from the philosophy of the premium hotel "ONDHOTEL." Just as we provide a "mind and body wellness" experience to our hotel guests, we've created this product with the same commitment to supporting the health of your beloved pets using the highest quality ingredients and deep care. We promise to provide safe and secure meals that meet the same quality standards as food for humans.

Q3. I'm concerned about allergies. What ingredients are used?

The main ingredients include fresh raw meat and Japanese grains rich in dietary fiber. We do not use any artificial flavors, colorings, synthetic antioxidants, or wheat gluten that could burden your pet's body. For detailed ingredient information, please refer to the product details page.

Q4. How much should I feed my dog per day?

The amount to feed varies depending on your pet's weight, age, and activity level. Please refer to the feeding guide on the package or the table on the product details page, and adjust the amount while observing your pet's condition and stool. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Q5. How should I transition from my current food to SHOGUN?

We recommend a slow transition over about 7 to 10 days to allow your pet's stomach to adjust to the new meal. For the first 1 to 3 days, mix about 25% SHOGUN with their current food. Gradually increase the proportion of SHOGUN so that the transition is 100% complete around the 10th day.
