Here’s what dogs are saying about A Pup Above.

Misha went nuts for the food!
"I gave her a little at a time to see how she did with it, and she wanted more and more! She is a huge fan."

Two Paws Up From Grizzly!
“Mealtime is so much more fun with A Pup Above! Grizzly can sometimes be a picky eater, but watching him chow down his food when I add this to his meal is just so satisfying. Thanks for making mealtime so easy and delicious for us!””

Love Love Love!!
“The Cubies make it so easy to feed on the go. We’ve used them for training or when we’re out and about during mealtime, and love that we’re still getting everything we love from the fresh recipe. Kirby gets so excited when the Cubies box comes out! He knows he’s in for something special.”
I love the gently cooked pork but having the dry food is a nice alternative to the freeze dried that I usually buy. First of all it is high protein but lower fat and it also is less expensive per pound than freeze dried. It makes a nice topper to their kibble or when we travel.
It doesn't matter what I think - it only matters what Molly thinks - - and she loves Porky's. But I also love the quality and great nutrition for her. Thank you!
My dog was diagnosed with Spleen cancer and given one to three months to live. She had no appetite after the spleen removal. This food was recommended by my local pet store. I started her on the frozen and the cubes. She is doing amazing on this food and is so excited for dinner.
I'm very glad that I tried this food for my doggies. I really thought that I would have to soak the cubies in warm water prior to distributing; however, such was not the case. I mixed the cubies, right from the bag, in with their A Pup Above fresh food and they ate every bit. No issues whatsoever. I plan on purchasing the additional varieties in the future.
Dogs are such honest creatures, you know when they can’t hide their love for something they love! Loki will do anything for a pork cubie, pulling out all of his tricks!
The Cubies cooking process can be broken down to 3 simple steps! First gently cooked sous-vide (just like our frozen food), then diced into Cubies and slowly air dried. Slowly air drying our food allows us to remove moisture from the Cubies without applying heat to them. This allows us to maintain the nutrient profile of the ingredients while making the Cubies a shelf stable product. Pawfect as a full meal, meal mixer, or treat!
Can I feed both the Cubies & Frozen Gently Cooked?
Absolutely! The Cubies and frozen Gently Cooked are the pawfect combo! Our Chief Pup Officer Lola loves having variety in her meals, so she eats the gently cooked with Cubies for an extra crunch. Feeding both in the same meal, or even rotating the Cubies with the Gently Cooked is a good way to keep picky pups interested in their meal times.
What is the texture of the Cubies?
The Cubies are high protein, low carb crunchy cubes that work well as a meal, topper, or healthy treat. Chief Pup Officer Lola loves having extra crunch added to her frozen Gently Cooked, which is what inspired the Cubies! If your pup prefers a softer food, we suggest soaking them in warm water or nutritious bone broth! Our frozen Gently Cooked is a soft texture and may also be a great fit.
How do Cubies Compare to Other Dry Foods?
The Cubies are gently cooked sous-vide like our frozen patties then slowly air dried, which preserves nutrients and makes Cubies much less processed than other dry foods, such as kibble. Compared to freeze-dried, Cubies are 50% less in the cost to feed. All in all, you're getting a dry food that's much healthier than kibble and more affordable than freeze-dried.
Where Do You Make Your Food?
We cook up our meals in USDA inspected, human grade kitchens according to USDA standards. Each recipe is gently cooked sous-vide to maximize nutrient retention, enhance flavor, and deliver a high meat protein food your pup is guaranteed to love. The Cubies are then diced and air dried, delivering the flavor of fresh and the convenience of a scoop!
How do You Formulate Your Recipes?
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.
