The VetChef team
The team behind VetChef shares a common passion – improving the health and wellbeing of the world’s pets by empowering their parents to feed more healthy fresh food.
Founded by veterinarian, nutritional expert, and passionate dog lover Dr Joe Inglis and run by a diverse team of animal-lovers, VetChef is on a mission to make a real difference to the lives of pets across the world.
Dr Joe Inglis BVSc MRCVS
Head vet and VetChef founder
Media vet and nutrition expert Dr Joe Inglis is the founder and head vet at VetChef, and leads the team creating the recipes and bespoke diet plans for every VetChef dog.
Joe is passionate about pet nutrition and founded two of the UK’s leading pet food brands (Vet’s Kitchen and tails.com) before starting VetChef. His mission is to help pet parents improve the health and wellbeing of their animal companions through their diet – and after 20 years in the pet food world, Dr Joe believes that fresh, homemade food designed with veterinary expertise is the best way to do this.
When not hard at work creating recipes or fine tuning the VetChef algorithms, Joe spends his time at home in the Cotswolds with his family which includes Pip the pup, three cats and two chickens.
