Subscription-based services have increased in popularity over the past several years. You can sign up for a bevy of things from workout classes to razors to wine, and you’ve likely even seen ads for subscription fresh pet food services. Like human food delivery services such as Hello Fresh or Blue Apron, you sign up for a plan, answer some questions about your pet, and these fresh pet foods are delivered in bulk to your home in large temperature-controlled boxes.
Is fresh food something you should consider for your pets?
Fresh foods are an amazing option for pets, but it is important to make sure your pet is getting a complete nutritional profile before making the switch. This can be difficult to determine with the computerized algorithms that big subscription pet foods rely on to decide what to send their furry consumers. An incomplete diet can cause dogs and cats to become deficient in the correct amounts of important minerals and vitamins, antioxidants, or the right fatty acid balance for skeletal, organ and immune health.
Common mistakes include feeding meat only, not including enough fiber, offering the wrong vitamin/mineral mix, and skipping pet-specific supplements such as Omegas, probiotics, digestive enzymes, hip/joint, and bladder care.
How do I determine my pet’s nutritional needs?

This is a service we provide free of charge. We also offer more in-depth one-on-one Nutritional Consultations with Rachel, our pet nutrition expert, which can be scheduled by calling or emailing the contact information above.
