Easily exceeds AAFCO standards

AAFCO uses a modified technique for calculating the metabolizable energy (ME) in most dog foods. They must do this because most dog foods aren't highly digestible. Real Meals for Dogs™ ME are calculated using the same techniques that apply for human food.

Our real-food meals exceed every nutritional category requirement for Macronutrients (Protein, Fat & Carbohydrate) and Micronutrients (Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, etc.) set by AAFCO. Then, we add Omega-6 & Omega-3 essential fatty acids in a proper ratio.

And, these meals meet or exceed even the more demanding National Research Council's nutrition guidelines.

As Digestible as your own food, and Suitable for Your Table

To answer the question of suitablilty for your dog, answer the question for yourself. Veterinarians and nutritionists alike all say, the best food for your dog is the same food you eat yourself.

We prepare the same quality of food for these meals as you would expect to be served at your own table, so it's fully digestible, appetizing, and nutritious.

The Nutrition of raw, meets the safety of home style.
We cook meats & fish to temperatures that leave amino acid profiles virtually identical to that of the same protein when raw, while greatly reducing the possibility of food-borne pathogens.
USDA Inspected
All of our ingredients are USDA inspected Grade A.
Zero Processing
Except for gentle cooking we don't process our foods at all. We pack every meal in transparent, environmentally conscious packaging, so you can see exactly what you're feeding before you buy.
Complete Nutrition
You won't have to add any supplemental vitamins or minerals to your dog's food when you feed Real Meals for Dogs. They're included. And, they're from the best natural vitamin and mineral sources we can find.
FDA-Nutrition Labels
No other pet food manufacturer provides FDA nutrition labels like the ones you see on your own food. Why? FDA labeling requires accurate disclosure. It's hard to hide just what and how much is in your food. That's why we use them. We want you to know.
No Preservatives
And we mean none.
No Artificial Anything
We even reject "organic" foods when we test them and find trace chemicals in them.
Recognizable Ingredients
You'll recognize, and be able to pronounce, every ingredient.

freshfetch™ Helps Otis with Seizures, Insomnia, Ear Infections

Maryellen started feeding Otis freshfetch foods a year ago, after Otis started having more frequent problems with seizures and she was faced with the prospect of medications as the only remaining option. We told Maryellen of some of our own experiences with reducing the incidence of Idiopathic Seizures and that we would be happy to try to help Otis. After a year eating freshfetch foods, Otis is seizure-free, and, in an added surprise, his chronic ear infections and insomnia have also cleared up! Here's Maryellen & Otis' story!

Chef Mike Discusses freshfetch™ Real Meals for Dogs™

Unlike that Chef Michael on the television commercial (who's an actor -- you know the one with the dog named "Bailey") our Chef Mike isn't an actor, but he does a great job describing freshfetch's Real Meals for Dogs for host Francoise. This video features a good look at the actual ingredients we use to make freshfetch Real Meals for Dogs.

Real Meals for Dogs combine the best of raw nutrition, and the safety of cooking. They are nutritionally correct for dogs, meeting both National Research Council standards for highly digestible foods, and the AAFCO standards for less digestible dog foods. We use FDA-Compliant ingredient labeling, along with the standard Guaranteed Analysis you're accustomed to seeing. No preservatives of any kind are used in our meals, and each feature simple, pure food, along with vitamins and minerals to make a complete meal.
