Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It

The Farmer's Dog is our top overall pick due to the brand's focus on fresh, human-grade ingredients, customizable meal plans, and free shipping.

Pros & Cons

Overview

The Farmer’s Dog offers human-grade meals using real meat and vegetables that wouldn’t look out of place on your own dinner plate. The focus is on fresh ingredients, delivering all the nutrients your dog needs with no preservatives and less processing than traditional dog food.

Each plan is customized based on a questionnaire about your dog’s age, lifestyle, health, and dietary habits. After filling it out, you can further choose by protein to specify the recipes you do or do not want to be included in your plan. The service starts at around $2 per day but can go up to about $12 per day for larger, more active breeds.

Meals from The Farmer’s Dog ship free to any of the lower 48 states and arrive frozen. It’s simple to make changes to your plan, including the timing of deliveries and food quantity. The Farmer's Dog is a winner for a daily meal service that features some of the highest-quality ingredients available.

Best Guarantee: Nom Nom

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It

We love Nom Nom dog food because the company guarantees that you’ll see a change in your furry friend within 30 days, or you’ll get your money back.

Pros & Cons

Overview

It’s no secret that natural dog food has a lot of health benefits for your pup. Each pre-portioned meal is made from fresh, natural ingredients, and you can pick from four flavors (beef, chicken, pork, or turkey) based on your dog’s nutritional needs. Nom Nom’s in-house veterinarian creates the recipes to ensure your dog gets all of the nutrients they need. Start a two-week trial with meals custom-portioned for your dog. After that, choose from shipments every two or four weeks based on what works best with your schedule.

Prices vary based on your dog’s size and nutritional needs, but you can calculate your personal quote on the Nom Nom site. If your pup is a picky eater, you can even rotate recipes every week for an additional fee, making it easier to entice your dog with new flavors. Nom Nom also offers a variety pack for $15 that allows you to sample a recipe in each of its four flavors.

Best Dry Food: Spot & Tango

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It

Spot & Tango offers high-quality, human-grade dry food at an affordable price.

Pros & Cons

Overview

While many dog food subscriptions put an emphasis on frozen meals, Spot & Tango's "UnKibble" provides the benefits of fresh food in an easy-to-serve, dry form. Make no mistake—the service's fresh meals are excellent, with choices like turkey with red quinoa or lamb and brown rice. But the option to order specialized dry food is what truly sets this company apart.

Like its fresh meals, Spot & Tango's dry food is made with human-grade ingredients and is free of artificial preservatives, fillers, or additives. You can customize the dry foods in your plan, and all items (fresh and dry) are appropriate for both puppies and adult dogs.

Spot & Tango's "UnKibble" plans start at around $7 per week, and fresh meal plans start at about $15 per week. Costs vary based on your dog's age, weight, and other factors. The service offers free two-day shipping within the contiguous U.S., and it's easy to modify, pause, or cancel your subscription. You can also start off your subscription with a two-week trial under the Happy Pup Guarantee, and if you're not satisfied with the food, Spot & Tango will refund your trial order.

Best Subscription-Optional: A Pup Above

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It

A Pup Above allows you to skip the subscription and order individual bags of food, perfect for when you're not sure if your dog will like the food or if you're worried about spoilage.

Pros & Cons

Overview

While A Pup Above is primarily a subscription service, it also gives you the option of ordering individual bags of its four main recipes: turkey, beef, chicken, and pork. Each one contains loads of non-GMO veggies, is free of added antibiotics or growth hormones, and costs about $35 for a 3-pound bag.

Another distinguishing factor is the service’s use of sous-vide, preparing food via water circulation that preserves the nutrients in each ingredient. (Upscale restaurants use it, so why shouldn’t your dog reap the benefits, too?)

A sampler pack—including of all four flavors of A Pup Above’s fresh 3-pound dog food bags—costs around $130, and its subscription service (which uses the same recipes) starts as low as approximately $3 per day ($16 per week) for the smallest breeds. You can choose from delivery schedules of two, four, six, or eight weeks. A Pup Above also gives you the option of choosing between a half plan (3-pound bags) and full plan (7-pound bags), making it easy to customize the service to fit your budget.

Best Natural: Ollie

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It

Ollie stands out for its high-quality meat and complete lack of artificial flavors, by-products, or preservatives.

Pros & Cons

Overview

Ollie offers four different recipes (beef, lamb, turkey, and chicken), each balancing minimally processed protein with nutritious fruits and vegetables. The meals are human-grade and free of fillers of any kind.

You'll start by creating a profile for your dog; then, Ollie will create a customized recipe plan based on your pets needs. Meals arrive on a regular schedule, but it's easy to make adjustments when needed. The food can go straight into the freezer until you're ready to thaw.

Plans start at about $4 per day for small breeds who are only fed Ollie meals. Partial meal plans are also available.

As with most dog food subscription services, creating a profile with your pet's information is the best way to get a sense of overall costs.

Best Ready-to-Serve: PetPlate

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It

PetPlate is our top choice for ready-to-serve dog food—simply thaw it out in the fridge or use the defroster option on your microwave.

Pros & Cons

Overview

PetPlate's customizable plans feature chicken, beef, lamb, and turkey recipes, which are freshly cooked and loaded with quality ingredients (with no by-products, artificial preservatives, or rendered meats).

Each meal is flash-frozen for freshness and can be thawed in your refrigerator or defrosted immediately in a microwave. Your plan will be tailored based on your dog's particular breed group, allergies (if any), and other factors. The site even features a "topper" plan for customers who want to use PetPlate meals on top of regular dry food.

Plans with PetPlate start at just under $3 per day and can go up from there. Setting up a topper plan can make the service more budget-friendly, but we suggest first building a profile for your dog with information about their age, health, and breed to get a more accurate sense of cost.
