As a devoted dog mom to two incredibly adorable pups, I’m constantly on the lookout for the best possible nutrition for them. When my older dog Lucy began experiencing dental issues, I realized it was time to transition to a softer, easier-to-chew diet. That kicked off a long search—from canned food and frozen meals to home-cooked dishes. Eventually, I discovered fresh dog food delivery options, and that completely changed our routine.
Over time, my dogs have tested a wide variety of brands. Some were a hit, others didn’t make the cut. Poppy, my picky maltipoo, has a nose that’s sharper than most. If she doesn’t like the smell, she won’t even taste it. Lucy, on the other hand, devours everything—so if she turns something down, I know it’s truly bad. Thankfully, we found a fresh food option that worked well for both of them for about a year. But even the best food can get repetitive, which led me to explore something new: Nom Nom.
What Is Nom Nom?
Nom Nom is a subscription-based fresh dog food service that delivers personalized meals right to your door. Once you sign up and provide details about your pet—like name, breed, age, current weight, and overall body condition—Nom Nom takes care of the rest. You can even flag specific health concerns like allergies, joint issues, or a sensitive stomach. Based on this profile, they recommend meals that fit your dog’s needs.
The ordering process is simple. After customizing your dog’s profile, you choose up to two recipes to try. If you have more than one pet, you can add their details as well. From there, you enter your contact and shipping information, then view a breakdown of the meal plan cost before completing the purchase. Once it’s done, Nom Nom prepares your dog’s meals fresh and ships them directly to your home. The food can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to six months.
What Makes Nom Nom Stand Out?
The company focuses exclusively on fresh food—meals that haven’t been frozen for months or packed with fillers. Nom Nom’s recipes are developed by board-certified veterinary nutritionists, ensuring each serving is scientifically balanced to support your pet’s health. That’s a level of detail I find incredibly reassuring.
Every meal includes high-quality, whole ingredients. You can choose from four recipes:
-
Beef Mash: beef, potatoes, eggs, carrots, and peas
-
Turkey Fare: turkey, brown rice, eggs, carrots, and spinach
-
Chicken Cuisine: chicken, sweet potatoes, squash, and spinach
-
Pork Potluck: pork, potatoes, green beans, squash, kale, and mushrooms
Each one is packed with essential nutrients like vitamins D, E, and B-complex, along with minerals such as zinc, iron, copper, selenium, and taurine. These ingredients work together to support overall wellness, from coat quality to digestive health.
I especially appreciate the option to exclude specific proteins. Since my dogs aren’t fans of pork, we simply skipped that one. This flexibility is a major plus.
Why My Dogs Love It—and I Do Too
As a pet owner, I want my dogs to enjoy long, healthy lives—and a big part of that is providing nutritious meals. With Nom Nom, I feel confident that every meal they eat supports that goal. The company claims its recipes are “formulated and scientifically evaluated for nutritional balance,” and from what I’ve seen, that holds true.
Each ingredient is prepared separately to ensure it retains its nutritional value. That’s not something I could easily replicate in my own kitchen, even with the best intentions. For me, it’s comforting to know that my dogs are eating something that rivals—or even exceeds—the quality of homemade food.
In short, Nom Nom has checked every box. The food is fresh, thoughtfully crafted, and tailored to my dogs’ specific needs. And most importantly, both Lucy and Poppy absolutely love it.
