Over Marketed and Poor Standards
We’ve tried this twice, trying to give our dog fresh food and hearing anecdotal positive reviews. Sadly we had to move away from this as almost a year in unexpectedly our dog started having severe digestive issues and lost almost 8 pounds. We spoke to our vet and did our research and heard they make changes to the food based on access and cost to ingredients. This is a marketing company not a dog forward company. We just got rid of hundreds of dollars of food we can’t use. Find another alternative and don’t buy into the hype like we did.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us, K. We’re truly so sorry to hear that your pup hasn’t been feeling well. We hope it's reassuring to know that our recipes are all formulated by board-certified vet nutritionists to meet AAFCO complete and balanced requirements. Additionally, each dog’s initial calorie needs based on details shared at sign-up, such as body condition, breed, age, and activity level, and how those needs evolve as weight and body condition change. We use our recommended caloric intake as a starting point, so if you ever feel like your pup needs a little more or less food, let us know, and we’d be more than happy to explore your options. That said, we'd appreciate the opportunity to connect and discuss further to ensure you’re fully supported. Please send us an email at [email protected] and mention this review.
