How It Works
What pet parents are saying.
Peach + Vannia
"Ever since I started feeding Dog Standards, Peach has been so much happier and energetic. Her gut health seems to be doing so much better, with her digestion actually being consistent. I've also noticed eye discharge she used to get has disappeared. She now jumps for joy at every single meal, when it used to be a struggle to get her to eat."
Kailey + Penny
"LOVE this food!!! The piece of mind it gives me to know that I am feeding my dog the best food for her is PRICELESS! I love that this company is a female owned small business local to Toronto. My dog has colitis and dog standards has been essential in helping her GI tract."
Cheyene + Winchester
"Dog Standards is amazing! I’m so sad that my dog went 2 years without this food. He is the pickiest dachshund in the world and he is obsessed with this food. It looks and smells great - I can see the ingredients and it is all real food! My heart is happy knowing my dog is getting the best food possible."
FAQ
What if my dog doesn't like it?
We know that finding the perfect diet for your dog can be a stressful experience for a dog parent. That's why we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first box of Dog Standards. If they don't lick their bowl clean, it's on us.
How does the meal plan work?
We ask a few key questions about your dog and then our vet nutritionists create a customized meal plan for their unique nutritional needs. Our recipes come pre-portioned for your dog, all you need to do is defrost and serve. You can create your custom meal plan here.
What's the difference between the Recommended Plan and Topper Plan?
The difference between our Recommended Plan and Topper Plan is that with our Recommended Plan we send you 100% of the food that your dog will need for 2 weeks. With the Topper Plan, we will send you 50% portions of the food that your dog will need for 2 weeks. For the Topper Plan, you are required to mix with 50% of your dog's usual food.
How do I know how much to feed?
In your first box, we will send you a custom feeding guideline with your dog's name on it which will explain in detail how to properly transition your pup to Dog Standards, and exactly how much to feed by the cup or gram.
Do I have to refrigerate the food?
Once your food arrives you should transfer it to the freezer and place 1-2 packs in the fridge to defrost overnight, based your feeding guideline. You can continue transferring packs from the freezer to the fridge to defrost as often as your dog requires a new pack.
How do I transition my dog?
For dogs who have never tried fresh food before, we recommend a 7-day period for transition from their previous diet to Dog Standards fresh food. Keep in mind that all dogs are different! Your dog might need up to 14 days to transition properly, and some dogs may be able to handle a quicker transition.
