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.”
Both my gurlies love this brand. If it was warmed up I would eat it. That's how quality it is, doesn't seem like dog food. Not sure what their favorite flavor is, because they devour them all.
I ordered for my two small dogs who are older and have gotten picky about food. They ate a small amount but then wouldn't touch any more (any flavor). I think it was whatever spices are used.
But it won't go to waste, my Siberian Husky loves it. Unfortunately at these prices I can not continue to purchase for him.
Got all the flavors. Shipping was fast and items arrived packed in dry ice to FL. All food was still frozen. I have two imperial (mini) Shihtzus - one is a very picky eater. If she doesn’t like the food she won’t eat it. Have tried everything but this food she was interested in. She doesn’t eat much and she seems to want variety each day. She will eat this though. I like that she is finally getting quality food and proper nutrition. I hope she continues to enjoy it! If she doesn’t, I’ll update this review but we are only 2 days into the samples and that is usually when she gets particularly finicky.
My dog goes crazy for the beef and pork! It's also the only wet food I can handle the smell of. It doesn't look disgusting when you open the package. It looks like human food and smells like how beef stew or pork should smell!
One of our recent finds that we can say our pups love. We have two Shih Tzu's and they very much enjoy this dog food, however, not so much the beef. One of our dogs eats it likes it's the best ever and the other one says "Beef It's For Dinner...AGAIN? The other issue is the packaging is difficult to deal with and could use an easier opening point.
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.
