With owning a dog comes great responsibility. Vet costs can be outrageous and most animals are quite adept at hiding anything wrong until it's too late. Most health issues stem from nutrition, with teeth being the next biggest cause of problems.
With that in mind, the next logical step should be looking for the best quality food at affordable prices. Here are five, farm-fresh dog food subscriptions that will have Fido cleaning his bowl every time.
The Farmer's Dog
Farm dogs are some of the healthiest, most active workers on the farm. They're early to rise and early to bed, helping the farmer with all their chores. Take a page from their book with a personalized meal plan for your dog from The Farmer's Dog. All ingredients are human-grade, so you could share a bowl if you really wanted to. They are sourced from local farms and other human food suppliers that meet strict USDA standards. Your dog's food will have to be refrigerated, but that's an easy sacrifice for the one you love, right?
The Farmer's Dog utilizes clean USDA proteins mixed with produce and balanced with vitamins and minerals. All meals are personalized and certified by veterinary nutritionists to ensure each pouch of dog food is 100% complete and balanced according to AAFCO standards. They ship to 48 states within the U.S with each delivery arriving refrigerated and in environmentally friendly boxes. All packs are safe to refreeze as well, so there are no worries about your dog's food spoiling in the fridge if they are a slow eater. You can pause, cancel and reactivate your subscription at your leisure, as well as change your delivery date or location with ease.
Ollie
Ollie has been around for a little while now, and their perfectly-portioned meal plans have many pet owners smiling as their spoiled pups chow down, never the wiser that their food isn't human leftovers. After setting up a profile for each dog that includes their age, weight, breed, and any allergies, you will have the option to choose from a list of recipes based on each dog's profile. Each container comes with a resealable lid and is portioned out to ensure your dog is receiving the exact number of calories they need each day.
Each delivery of dog food is stored in the freezer and defrosted 24 hours before serving. After defrosting, the food is good for 4 days, giving you plenty of time to serve it up. Key ingredients include sweet potatoes, peas, rosemary, spinach and cod liver oil, each of which serves an essential function in your dog's health. All food is human grade and has no artificial flavors or fillers. There is minimal processing involved as well, so you don't need to worry about any stomach sensitivities.
Spot and Tango
Spot and Tango is home to UnKibble, but they offer fresh recipes as well. Their fresh recipes are about the same as other options listed here. No soy, wheat, or corn is used as fillers, everything human-grade, etc. Where Spot and Tango stand out, however, is that they offer grain-inclusive and grain-free options for dog food as well. All of their fruits and veggies are non-GMO and their meat and eggs are humanely raised and antibiotic-free with no hormones added.
UnKibble is unique to Spot and Tango. It also features human-grade ingredients with no artificial additives, colors, or flavors but the big difference is that UnKibble is dry and shelf-stable. UnKibble dry dog food is gently dried at very low temps, similar to how you'd make jerky. This method pulls out the liquid and leaves behind the nutrients and flavor in a form that most dogs are used to.
Nom Nom
Nom Nom doesn't have the fanciest website, but what they lack in colorful graphics they make up for in clear-cut, easy-to-read recipes that break down everything from protein to moisture content. Nom Nom dog food is made from restaurant-quality proteins and vegetables, sourced from U.S growers, and prepared in kitchens across the USA. The company also works hard to cut down on food waste in all of its facilities.
Each ingredient is cooked individually to ensure its nutrients stay locked in, and then everything is mixed together in small batches to make sure they stay perfectly balanced. Every bag can be traced back to an individual who prepared it, by name--and of course, the food is delivered fresh, pre-portioned, and destined for Fido's bowl.
Darwin's Pet
Darwin's pet offers dog food and cat food, with a lot of the same notes being hit as others on this list, but they also have a unique option called Intelligent Design. These recipes are made specifically for dogs with health issues and are only available through prescription, so you know your dog will be getting the best food possible. Their other fresh options are made from high-quality free-range meats and organic veggies.
As you can see there is an entire catalog of options when it comes to fresh dog food. Any dietary restriction your beloved pet could have has a company that seeks to alleviate it. All it takes is a little bit of looking around and you can find something to meet the needs of your pet's palate and your peace of mind, at a price your wallet won't run from.
