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.
