100% human-grade ingredients. Our recipes are about 98% whole foods, 1% fish oil and 1% supplement.

We give you the source for every ingredient on our sourcing page.

Here are the details of how we cook the dog food:

First, we wash the vegetables and peel when necessary. We grind the meat. Next, we steam each ingredient separately, because different ingredients need to be cooked for different lengths of time— if you cook everything together, some things (like vegetables) will spend a lot more time cooking than necessary. Our steamer ovens shut off once the food reaches the desired temperature (around 160f). We then cool the food, and mix all of the individual ingredients together. At this point we add a vitamin/mineral supplement, so it’s never exposed to cooking heat. Finally, we package the food into its bamboo paper container, add the fish oil on top and flash-freeze the container. Last step— we add a lid with an expiration date.

ADULT DOGS:

One 29oz container will last a 70lb adult dog about one day. For a 35lb dog, it will last about 2 days.

One 13oz container will last a 30lb adult dog about 1 day, a 15lb dog about 2 days, and a 10lb dog about 3 days.

PREGNANT, NURSING OR PUPPY DOGS: Double the above amounts based on the dog’s adult weight. We recommend checking with your veterinarian to make sure your feeding plan properly supports your growing/pregnant/nursing dog.

Every dog’s metabolism and activity level is different, and they get different amounts of treats and snacks. Use the instructions above as a starting point. Monitor your dog’s weight, and adjust accordingly.

After you defrost it, the food is good for 5 days in the fridge (4 days for the fish recipe). We don’t use any preservatives.

In the freezer, it’s good for 2 years from the date of manufacture. This expiration date is on every container.

Yes! Replacing as little as 25% of your dog’s dry food with a fresh option is enough to give dogs noticeable health benefits.
