9 Convenient Pet Food Delivery Services

All you have to do is fill out a questionnaire about your feline friend. You will be asked questions about their likes, dislikes, food history and more. You will be able to choose proteins and textures, as well as choose from fresh or raw freeze-dried meals (an alternative to kibble). Once you’re done, you’ll get a sampler mailed to your door to see how your cat reacts. If all goes well (we’re pretty sure), you can sign up for a monthly subscription. But don’t worry – if anything changes, you can always change the recipe, skip a month, or readjust according to their picky preferences. Ingredients are USDA certified and sustainably sourced. (Plans start at $4/day, Smalls)

First, you’ll answer a few questions to help you develop your pet’s plan. Each meal is nutrient dense with fresh ingredients. Plus, everything is cooked in USDA kitchens, the same way human food is prepared. So before the meals are shipped to you, they are frozen to maintain their freshness. The full plan has many options, including turkey, pork, chicken, lamb, venison, and beef. Once you are ready to serve your pup, you can prepare the food cold or reheat it in the microwave. All packaging is BPA free and also recyclable. (Plans start at $2.85+/day, PetPlate)

No kibble here. These simple recipes are prepared in USDA kitchens and then delivered within days of cooking. Nothing is frozen or stored on a shelf for months. Once you create a pet profile, you’ll get a veterinarian-designed plan tailored to your dog’s needs. Psst…everything is nutritionally complete and balanced for dogs. If you’re not sure, you can literally taste the food yourself. Each recipe uses ingredients that are also safe for humans. (Plans start at $2+/day, The Farmer’s Dog)

Nom Nom relies on certified veterinary nutritionists to create recipes that promote the best health of your pet. They prepare every meal themselves (even for the dogs) so there are no hidden ingredients and a very high standard is maintained no matter what. All foods are from trusted US growers and sourced sustainably whenever possible. Plus, items are individually cooked, avoiding high temperatures and preserving nutritional value. In the end, the meals are pre-portioned and ready to go as soon as they arrive. (Packages start at $2+/day, Nom Nom)

So each individual meal can be kept cool while you store it in the refrigerator. When your box is delivered, you will receive meals for two weeks, so you can put some of them in the freezer. You will also receive personalized feeding instructions based on the profile you create for your pooch. The spoon will help you measure a meal perfectly before serving it. And a few details: the meal plans are meat-based and tailored to your dog’s activity level, weight, age, breed, and various other factors. Plus, everything is made with 100% real foods (meaning vegetables, fruits, and plant-based proteins) and is freshly cooked. (Plans start at less than $4+/day, Ollie)

Yes, croquettes have bad press. Spot & Tango’s UnKibble contains no artificial preservatives, fillers or additives, and unlike most kibble, it contains no powdered “mystery meats”. It is non-GMO and hormone-free and gently dried using a unique process to preserve nutritional integrity. There are also fresh recipes if you prefer to feed your dog small amounts of food. If you go the UnKibble route, the food delivery service will always be personalized to your pet and their needs. The spoon is also personalized, so portioning is very easy. Oh, it’s also 40% cheaper than typical fresh frozen options. For a limited time, Skimm’rs get 50% off initial orders. (Packages start at $1+/day, Spot and Tango)

A raw diet can have many benefits, such as a healthy coat, reduced allergies, better digestion, and increased energy. We Feed Raw advocates raw food because traditional kibble can be cooked at high temperatures (which removes nutrients) and is difficult to digest. They focus on nutrient-dense foods that can be digested very easily. The meals are premixed and include muscle meat, organs and bones, as well as vitamins and minerals. The recipes are developed by a doctor in animal nutrition and everything goes through a high pressure treatment. Aka a technique that neutralizes foodborne pathogens such as Listeria, E. Coli and Salmonella. (Plans start at $5+/day, We Feed Raw)

This plan includes wet and dry recipes for cats of all ages. You can customize to your cat’s needs and then test the options through the Starter Box. You will be able to see what your cat responds well to. You will then have two weeks to make any changes before your subscription begins. The food itself contains no unnecessary fillers and is high in protein. Meals only contain one to two animal proteins, so if your cat has an allergy, it’s easy to avoid certain ingredients. (Plans start at $1.45+/day, Cat Person)

Fish is wild-caught, then combined with all-natural fruits, vegetables and grains. It’s a great option for puppies that have allergies to other common proteins. The recipe was developed with veterinarians and doctors and comes in environmentally friendly, plastic-neutral packaging. Silver carp contains 10 essential amino acids and contains no detectable heavy metals like mercury. Additionally, they are an overpopulated fish in the United States, so by catching them, Chippin is actually helping to restore biodiversity. Note: They are updating the formulas and should be ready to order soon. (Packages start at $29.69+/bag, Chippin)
