FAQs
Is your food safe for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
Yes! Our gently-cooked recipes are great for dogs with sensitive stomachs because lightly steaming the ingredients, as opposed to high-heat extrusion like kibble, allows dogs to digest our food much easier, and it's a lot kinder on sensitive stomachs. You'll notice a reduction in belly aches, smaller poops and no more flatulence.
How is Dog Standards different from other fresh food brands?
Dog Standards is different in many ways. Our food is made in a HACCP and CFIA approved facility in Ontario, using Canadian human-grade ingredients. We test every single batch produced for common pathogens - because dogs deserve safe food, too. We know that changing your dog's food is a big deal, and we take that responsibility seriously. That's why you have access to our veterinary team as soon as you sign up for our meal plans. We'll support you through your dog's entire food journey. We only use human-grade ingredients in our recipes, and lightly steam our food to ensure that it's easily digestible. The ingredients we use and method of cooking enables dog parents to see changes in their dog within the first month of transitioning.
How do I transition my dog?
We recommend transitioning your dog over the course of 2 weeks, while using our diet transitioning probiotic, BellyBuddy in conjunction. Start by filling your dog's bowl with 1/4 of Dog Standards and working your way up to a full bowl over the span of 2 weeks.
How long does the food stay fresh?
Our gently-cooked food is shipped to you frozen which allows us to use zero preservatives in our food. Once you receive your trial box, transfer majority of food packs to the freezer and 1-2 to the fridge to defrost overnight. Once opened, a food pack lasts 5 days in the fridge. In the freezer our packs last a year.
