Byson has had allergy and stomach issues really since he was a puppy. He was on prescription canned food for the first 10 years of his life and his stomach and bowels were never “great”. I then started the raw food journey with him which immediately made a huge difference - why couldn’t I have tried that way earlier?! Although we discovered a pork allergy. We switched to A Pup Above Turducken thinking the sous vide approach would help and we haven’t looked back. He clearly loves the taste, and he’s never had better poos! While he’s getting up there in age, I don’t mind the higher price for this food knowing his stomach is finally happy after all of these years.

My picky husky that also has a poultry allergy is still scarfing this down. It took him a little while to transition to the new food but chefs kiss honestly. His poops are consistent and firmer. Easy to pick up. Love that I can see the fresh vegetables in the bowl and on the grass haha
Another big surprise is how much energy and spunk he has. I always thought he was a lazy boy but recently he’s been digging, zoomies, talking back, playing with toys.

My 14month old Dobie was going through a phase where she didn't like ANYTHING I offered her to eat. I tried Raw, gently cooked, freeze dried, kibble with added oils, etc..etc...etc... Was about to just give up but decided to give A Pup Above a shot. My girl Kyra scarfed this stuff down in no time and has continued to do so for several months now. The food looks so good when I feed her I've considered taking a bite myself...well not really, but they sure do make a great product and my dog absolutely LOVES this stuff.
Kibble is cheap to make because it's mostly cooked at high heat from inexpensive fillers. Our recipes start with 100% human-grade meat, veggies, and bone broth, then we gently cook each batch to lock in nutrients. Real ingredients cost more than fillers - but you're feeding your pup actual food, not scraps.
Yes. Even premium kibble is extruded at high heat and loaded with carb-heavy fillers to hold its shape. Our recipes are gently cooked (never fried or extruded), so more of the natural nutrients survive - and it's easier for most dogs to digest.
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.
Go slow over 5-7 days: start by mixing a small amount of A Pup Above in with your dog's current food, then gradually increase the ratio each day until they're fully switched over. This gives their stomach time to adjust and helps avoid any tummy upset.
