9 Convenient Pet Food Delivery Services for Cats and Dogs

Calling all pet owners: Do you know what goes into your dog or cat’s current food? If you haven’t spent too much time sounding out ingredients on the back of the bag or researching exactly how traditional kibble is made, we don’t blame ya. Life can get pretty hectic. 

To get you started, we rounded up nutritious food delivery services that’ll ship directly to your door. Aka no last-minute runs to grab a bag because you didn’t realize you were almost out. And as an FYI — prices will range because each one is customized to your dog or cat’s weight, age, breed, activity level, health history, and much more. 

Oh, and if you’re holiday shopping for your furball or someone in your life who owns one, we also picked out the best pet gifts.

Smalls

A high-protein, no-filler food service for cats...

All you’ve got to do is fill out a questionnaire about your feline friend. You’ll be asked about their likes, dislikes, food history, and more. You’ll be able to choose proteins and textures, as well as select from meals that are fresh or ones that are freeze-dried raw (a kibble alternative). Once you’re finished, you’ll get a sampler mailed to your door to see how your cat responds. If things go well (we’re pretty sure they will), you can sign up for a monthly subscription. But no worries — if anything changes, you can always switch up recipes, skip a month, or readjust based on their picky preferences. Ingredients are USDA-certified and sustainably sourced. (Plans start at $1.50+/day, Smalls)

PetPlate

A personalized and pre-portioned food service for dogs…

First you’ll answer some questions to help build your pet’s plan. Each meal is nutrient-packed with fresh ingredients. Plus it's all cooked in USDA kitchens, the same way human food is prepped. So before the meals are shipped to you, they’re flash-frozen to lock in freshness. The full plan has lots of options, including turkey, pork, chicken, lamb, venison, and beef. Once you’re ready to serve your pup, you can prep the food cold or warm it in the microwave. All the packaging is BPA-free and recyclable too. (Plans start at $2.85+/day, PetPlate)

The Farmer's Dog

Human-grade meat and veggies that are cooked fresh for your pupper…

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 vet-designed plan that’s customized to your dog’s needs. Psst...everything is nutritionally complete and balanced for dogs. If you’re unsure, you can literally taste the food yourself. Every recipe uses ingredients that are also safe for humans. (Plans start at $2+/day, The Farmer’s Dog)

Nom Nom

Hearty, high-moisture meals if your cat is super picky…

Nom Nom relies on board-certified veterinary nutritionists to create recipes that support your pet’s best health. They make every meal themselves (even for dogs too), so there are no hidden ingredients and a very high standard is upheld — no matter what. All foods come through trusted US growers and are sustainably sourced whenever possible. Plus items are cooked individually, so high temps can be avoided and nutritional value can be preserved. In the end, meals are pre-portioned and ready to go when they arrive. (Plans start at $2.50+/day, Nom Nom)

Ollie

A dog food delivery subscription that comes with a storage container and a handy scoop…

So each individual meal can be kept fresh while you store it in the fridge. When your box is delivered, you’ll get meals for two weeks, so some can be placed in the freezer. You’ll also receive custom feeding instructions based on the profile you create for your pooch. The scoop will help you perfectly portion a meal before you serve it. And some deets: Meal plans are meat-first and tailored to your dog’s activity level, weight, age, breed, and various other factors. Plus everything is made with 100% real food (i.e., veggies, fruit, and plant-based protein) and is freshly cooked. (Plans start at less than $4+/day, Ollie)

Spot & Tango

Spot & Tango’s UnKibble recipes made from whole ingredients…

Yes, kibble does get a bad rap. Spot & Tango’s UnKibble contains no artificial preservatives, fillers, or additives, and unlike most kibble, it has no powdered "mystery meats." It’s GMO- and hormone-free, and gently dried using a unique process so nutritional integrity is upheld. There are also fresh recipes if you prefer to feed your dog small-batch food. If you go the UnKibble route, the food delivery service will still be personalized to your pet and their needs. The scoop is also personalized so portioning is very easy. Oh, it’s also 40% less expensive than the typical fresh-frozen options. For a limited amount of time, Skimm'rs get 50% off initial orders. (Plans start at $1+/day, Spot & Tango)

We Feed Raw

Balanced raw meals for dogs sourced from USDA, human-grade meats…

There can be plenty of benefits to a raw diet, like a healthy coat, reduction in allergies, improved digestion, and increased energy. We Feed Raw advocates for raw food since traditional kibble can be cooked with high heat (which strips away nutrients) and is hard to digest. They focus on nutrient-packed foods that can be digested very easily. Meals are premixed, and include muscle meat, organ, and bone, along with vitamins and minerals. Recipes are developed by a PhD animal nutritionist, and everything goes through high-pressure processing. Aka a technique that neutralizes food-borne pathogens such as Listeria, E. Coli, and Salmonella. (Plans start at $5+/day, We Feed Raw)

Cat Person

A cat food delivery service that’s grain-free and low-carb…

This plan includes wet and dry recipes for cats of all ages. You can customize based on the needs of your cat and then test options via the Starter Box. You’ll be able to see what your cat responds well to. You’ll 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 have 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)

Chippin

Dog food made with fresh silver carp sourced from US fishermen…

The fish are wild-caught, then combined with all-natural fruits, veggies, and grains. It’s a great option for pups who have allergies to other common proteins. The recipe has been developed with vets and PhDs and arrives in eco-friendly, plastic-neutral packaging. Silver carp has 10 essential amino acids and contains no detectable heavy metals like mercury. Plus, it’s an overpopulated fish in the US so by fishing for them, Chippin is actually helping to restore biodiversity. (Plans start at $29.69+/bag, Chippin)
