TAILS ARE WAGGING FOR A PUP ABOVE
Have a review of our dog food sampler pack? We’d love to hear what you think.
Before we added in a pup above to our dogs diet his fur was very full and he was always scratching and licking his paws. Plus he would completely ignore his food bowl even if we added cheese or other yummy additions. Now he eats right away his fur is super shiny and he’s almost completely stopped scratching and licking his paws.
We have tried three of the four flavors so far and my dog loves them all. He gets very excited when it’s feeding time. I also feel they he has more energy. We will definitely be reordering more when we get low.
We think you should know where your dog food comes from, farm to bowl. That’s why we make sure you can trace each batch of A Pup Above back to the source. Simply take the best by date on the back of our package and input it into our site to see where each ingredient in that lot was sourced from. To learn more, check out Our Food page! All ingredients we source are human grade and USDA certified. All veggies are non-gmo, pesticide free and meats are free of added hormones and antibiotics.
Do I Need to Cook the Food?
Nope! We do the cooking for you. All you have to do is defrost and serve. You can serve it directly from the fridge or add a touch of hot water if your pup prefers warm dog food.
Where Do You Make Your Food?
We cook up our meals in a USDA inspected, human grade kitchen according to USDA standards. Each recipe in our dog food samples pack is gently cooked sous-vide to maximize nutrient retention, enhance flavor, and deliver a high meat protein food your pup is guaranteed to love. Our recipes are then flash frozen for safe shipping and your storage convenience. Our food is also tested for pathogens (e-coli, listeria and salmonella) before it can leave our facility to ensure it is safe for both you and your dog.
How do You Formulate Your Recipes?
We work with top food scientists and vet nutritionists to make our dog food with optimal health in mind. Our vet nutritionists carefully formulate each recipe to be 100% complete and balanced according to AAFCO standards for adult maintenance.
How Environmentally Friendly Is Your Packaging?
We’re big believers in creating products that are good for the planet and healthy for our dogs! Our cardboard boxes and insulation are curbside recyclable. Our pet food bags are fully recyclable through our partnership with Terracycle, and they are made from non-toxic, BPA-Free materials.
