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.
