Real food, right down the road.
If you've seen fresh dog foods advertised for home delivery, there's another way: come into the store, look at the options, and buy what you need.
Gently cooked dog food is fully cooked and typically sold chilled or frozen. It can be a complete meal or, depending on the product, part of your dog's feeding routine. We'll help you compare recipes, portions and cost without signing up for a recurring box.
Fresh, raw, freeze-dried or dry?
Gently cooked
Fully cooked fresh-style meals, often kept frozen or refrigerated.
Raw
Uncooked options, including conveniently portioned and ready-to-pour formats.
Freeze-dried
Shelf-stable convenience for meals or toppers, depending on the formula.
For everyday feeding, choose a product labeled complete and balanced for your dog's life stage, or use supplemental foods as directed.

Can I mix gently cooked food with kibble?
Many people use fresh food as a topper. We'll help you look at the product's feeding directions and your dog's overall diet so portions make sense.
Is gently cooked better than raw?
We love raw feeding and the naturally occurring enzymes it can retain. Gently cooked is another fantastic option: dogs love the taste, and quality ingredients and added moisture can make it a great addition to kibble. Ask us about complete meals and toppers. Raw foods can carry harmful bacteria, so safe handling matters.
