These are only guidelines for adult maintenance. Please refer to the feeding chart as an initial recommendation and adjust food as needed to reach desired weight goal. We suggest dividing the amounts into two servings per day.

Clinically Validated Nutrition:

All of our recipes are thoughtfully formulated and reviewed by certified veterinarian nutritionists to ensure complete, balanced nutrition that meets AAFCO standards. We go the extra mile with digestibility studies and feeding trials, because your pup deserves nothing less.

100% Human Grade Standards:

Our food is made in USDA-inspected, human-grade kitchens that go above and beyond industry standards. Every step—from ingredient sourcing to store delivery—meets the strict requirements for 100% human-grade quality.

Rigorous Food Safety:

Your dog’s safety is our top priority. 

  • We prepare every meal in USDA inspected, human-grade kitchens audited by third parties for safety, quality, and sanitation.
  • Our recipes are gently sous-vide cooked, not raw, to eliminate pathogens and preserve nutrients. 
  • Each batch is tested for E. coli, listeria, and salmonella before it leaves our facility.

When we got our puppy Lola, it felt impossible to know what was in her bowl or where it came from.

We created A Pup Above because we believe every member of the family deserves whole food and quality nutrition.

Together, we’re here to help you nourish your dog with premium, tasty, and sustainable food that lives up to the same standards we hold for ourselves.

That means real ingredients and bold flavors—with no compromises.

Question?
We’re here for you.

Our fresh food is gently cooked sous-vide to lock in nutrients, boost flavor, and eliminate harmful pathogens. With pet health issues like obesity and cancer on the rise, more research shows the benefits of fresh food and the risks of many highly processed commercial diets. Whether your dog is picky, has health concerns, or eats anything, we’ve seen the difference fresh food can make—starting with our own pups.

Nope! We do the cooking for you. All you have to do is defrost and serve to your pup. You can serve it directly from the fridge or add a touch of hot water if your dog prefers warm food.

Yes! Our food is real food so it’s important you treat it the same as your own fresh food. Keep the food at a safe temperature in a refrigerator or freezer. Your delivery box will come with dry ice and liners to ensure it arrives frozen. The packaging also includes info on how to store and feed the food properly (it’s very simple!).

We work with top food scientists and vet nutritionists to make the healthiest pup food possible. Our vet nutritionists carefully formulate each recipe to be 100% complete and balanced according to AAFCO standards for adult maintenance.

We’re big believers in creating products that are good for the planet and healthy for our pups! Our cardboard boxes and insulation are curbside recyclable. Our food bags are fully recyclable through our partnership with Terracycle. Our food bags are also made from BPA-Free materials and are non-toxic.
