8 Best Fresh Dog Food Delivery of 2026

The Farmer's Dog is the most complete package for owners who care most about who designs the food. Its recipes are formulated by board-certified veterinary nutritionists, meet AAFCO standards and, the company says, follow WSAVA guidelines. It also points to a long-term feeding study on aging that it ran at Cornell University, which few rivals can match. You build a plan by entering your dog's age, weight, breed, activity level and body condition goal, and the meals arrive pre-portioned, so serving is thaw, open and pour. The DIY page lists the Fresh Plan from $2.48 per day, shipping is free with any plan, and you can cancel anytime. Recipes include chicken, beef and turkey, with grain-inclusive and grain-free options. The catch is that the exact price depends on your dog, so you only see it after the profile, and big dogs cost far more than the starting rate. A DIY Nutrient Mix plan suits owners who prefer to cook.

Ollie is the most flexible pick if you are not ready to drop kibble completely. Its meal plans page lists Full Fresh Meals from $1.57 a meal and a Half Fresh Plan from $1.00 a meal, which adds a freshly made half serving to your dog's usual food. There are five fresh recipes (beef, chicken, lamb, turkey and pork), and Ollie says meat is always the first ingredient and that recipes avoid corn, wheat and soy. Recipes are formulated with vet nutritionists, and Ollie offers Health Check-ins, with 135K+ completed according to the company. Ollie also says it has served 1M+ dogs. Keep in mind that the prices are per meal, so a dog eating two meals a day costs about $3.14 a day at the Full Fresh starting rate, and bigger dogs cost more. The exact figure appears after you build a plan.

Nom Nom is the most transparent service on price. Its How It Works page lists per-meal ranges by size: $1.60 to $2.60 for dogs of 5 to 25 lbs, $2.61 to $3.60 for 26 to 45 lbs, and $3.61 to $4.60 for dogs over 45 lbs. That makes it easy to estimate a monthly bill before you give an email address. Recipes are formulated and evaluated by board-certified veterinary nutritionists, and fresh frozen options include Turkey Fare, Beef Mash, Chicken Cuisine, Pork Potluck and Lamb Pilaf, with newer Scoopable Meal Clusters as an alternative. Meals arrive frozen and pre-portioned with dry ice or gel packs. Shipping is free across the 48 contiguous states on plans of $85 or more, and Nom Nom offers a multi-dog discount and lower prices for less frequent deliveries. The food is also sold in stores, though Nom Nom says retail prices can vary from its website.

PetPlate gives owners the most ways to feed fresh food. Its homepage lists four plans: the FreshCooked Full Plan from $1.89 per day, FreshCooked Toppers that cover 25% of calories from $0.71 per day, a FreshCombo Plan that mixes cooked and baked food from $1.40 per day, and a shelf-stable FreshBaked Plan from $0.79 per day. All four prices are shown after the intro meal plan discount, so regular boxes will cost more. Cooked entrées include Barkin' Beef, Chompin' Chicken, Tail Waggin' Turkey, Lip Lickin' Lamb and Lean & Mean Venison. PetPlate says it works with leading vet nutritionists, makes meals with human-grade meats and vegetables to AAFCO standards, and hot-fills every meal. It also sells organic treats and supplement chews. The topper and baked plans make it a good fit for owners who want some fresh food on a budget, but compare the post-intro price before committing.

Spot & Tango is the value pick for owners who want fresh food without paying top prices. Its FAQ says Fresh meal plans start at $2 per day, UnKibble plans start at $1 per day and all plans include free shipping. UnKibble is a dry food made from USDA meat and fresh produce, so it stores in the pantry, while the Fresh meals are gently cooked in small batches. Recipes are developed by vet nutritionists to meet AAFCO standards, and the company works with a veterinary advisor, Dr. Stephanie Liff. Spot & Tango says it has delivered over 200 million meals and makes its food in its own facility in Allentown, Pennsylvania. There are no one-time samples, but a 14-day 100% money-back guarantee covers the first order. Pricing depends on your dog's calorie needs and recipes, so a large dog will pay more than the starting rate.

JustFoodForDogs is the strongest option when a vet is involved in your dog's diet. Alongside its Fresh Frozen recipes it sells Targeted Nutrition and Vet Support ranges, and its recipes are formulated by veterinary nutritionists. It runs 12 open kitchens in New York, California, Washington and Illinois, where you can watch the food being cooked. Pricing works differently from the quiz-based services: you buy boxes. A small box of Chicken & Rice holds 14 packs of 18 oz (15.6 lb) and costs $153.99 one-time, and subscriptions take 50% off the first order, 20% off the second and 5% off later orders. Shipping is free on orders of $49 or more. Product pages list full ingredients and calorie content, such as 774 kcal per 18 oz pack of Chicken & Rice, which helps you or your vet calculate daily cost. A Build a Meal Plan tool is also available.

A Pup Above suits owners who would rather shop like a grocery store than fill out a quiz. Its product page shows prices straight away: a 1 lb chicken patty is $13.99, with 3 lb and 7 lb bags as larger sizes. Food is gently cooked sous vide with bone broth, made with human-grade ingredients and formulated by a vet nutritionist. Proteins cover chicken, pork, beef, turkey, turducken, fish and a puppy recipe. Subscribing saves 5% and adds free shipping; one-time orders need at least $50 and ship free from $99. Boxes arrive frozen with dry ice, and delivery covers the 48 contiguous states but not Alaska or Hawaii. Because prices are by weight, you need your dog's daily intake to compare it with per-day services, and it scores lower on value than the quiz-based plans.

Raised Right is a specialist pick for owners who want simple, low-carb recipes and proof of safety testing. The family-owned company works with veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker and formulator Steve Brown, and it says most of its recipes have less than 2% carbs because they skip fillers such as potato, rice, oats and barley. Many recipes use a single animal protein and 10 ingredients or fewer, and many are formulated to meet AAFCO requirements using only whole foods without synthetic vitamins and minerals. Every batch is lab tested for pathogens and held until it passes, and the results are published on the site. Food is gently cooked in a human-grade facility. Delivery is free to the 48 contiguous states, and subscriptions can be paused or canceled from your account. We could not confirm a current US price on its public pages, so its value score is conservative.
