Dog Standards Reviews 205

They always respond quickly to any issues and are very accommodating to our changing needs. A wonderful company to deal with and amazing food.

I am genuinely SO happy and grateful to have found Dog Standards!! 😍🐾 I started feeding their food to my dog Mary, and I honestly couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. Everything about this company feels thoughtful, intentional, and truly centered around dogs’ health and well-being.

The quality of the food is absolutely amazing!! Clean, simple ingredients that make me feel excited and confident every single time I feed Mary. Seeing her enjoy her meals and do so well on this food has been such a relief and a joy ☺️💚 There is nothing better than knowing you’re giving your dog something you can fully trust.

Dog Standards truly feels like a company that leads with heart. From the food itself to the way they communicate, you can tell there is genuine care behind everything they do. It’s rare to find a brand that feels this aligned with what dog owners want for their pets!!

I’m beyond thankful to have discovered Dog Standards and so happy Mary is on this food 😍🐶 I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who wants the absolute best for their dog!!

I think there are both pros and cons to this company and their food.
First, the positives: If you want to feed your dog fresh, quality food but don’t have the time, energy, or knowledge to properly prepare it yourself, this is one of the only convenient options. The ingredients appear high quality, and I do believe fresh food is healthier overall. The cost is high (I’m paying close to $300/month with tax), but if it works for your dog, it may be worth it.
That said, it hasn’t been a miracle for us. My dog has allergies, and while I was hopeful about their “28-day improvement” timeline, we didn’t see noticeable changes. That may not be the food’s fault — we’re still figuring out his triggers — but it’s worth mentioning for anyone expecting dramatic results.
A big concern for me is shipping. Thankfully we’ve never received thawed food, but we have had delays. Our last delivery sat with the carrier for 48 hours. That makes me nervous, especially thinking about summer temperatures. For a subscription-based company shipping perishable food every two weeks, delivery timing should be airtight. If you run low and need extra food, they can’t ship off-schedule — the earliest they could send mine was the exact date of my next delivery. That forced me to order extra packs to keep on hand, which increased my upfront cost. For something subscription-based, that lack of flexibility is a bit frustrating.
Their feeding recommendations were also very off for my dog. They suggested 198g/day for my 13lb (ideal weight) 1-year-old Bichon. Within two weeks, he dropped to 11.2lbs. I’ve since adjusted to 285g/day, and he’s now steady between 11.8–12lbs, which my vet confirmed is healthy for him. So if you’re ordering, monitor your dog’s weight closely and be prepared to adjust, which is to be expected with any new dog food. But because we only received so many packs based off of their recommendation and I needed to up his daily grams, we ran out of food before the next shipment. And as I said, they were unable to ship out our next order any earlier. This was very stressful and required some creativity.
The website/account system is pretty basic. You can adjust pack quantity, but anything else requires contacting customer service. Customer service is very friendly and quick to respond (shout out to Mark for being so awesome), but we’ve had multiple small billing/order errors (discount codes not applying correctly, extra packs added incorrectly, pricing not grouped properly). Each issue was fixed when I followed up, but if I hadn’t caught them, I would’ve paid more. That shouldn’t happen repeatedly.
Overall, I think the food quality is good. The logistics and backend systems need improvement. For the price point, I expect more seamless delivery and account management. I’ll likely continue short-term because I do believe fresh food is beneficial and I’m too busy to prep it myself — but if I find a comparable option with smoother operations or slightly lower cost, I would switch.
But I will say my dog loves the food! And I do feel the probiotic powder is high quality too, and really helped with the transition from kibble. I'm happy that a company like this exists to help dog owners feed their pups better food. Can't ever see myself going back to feeding kibble.

I had questions and I was grateful that they answered them specifically. I have a senior dog who is 20 years old he's a little Chihuahua cross with Jack Russell and his little buddy just passed away and I had a lot of questions. My little guy is doing very well he loves the food he has no teeth now so he can actually eat it. So thank you so much for the great healthy food that will help propel his life even further.

Food is great for our dog. The packaging keeps it frozen. It is the correct amount for him. No complaints.

Love the quality! My lab has been a fan of their food for years! I recently got a dachshund puppy and am currently in the process of switching her to Dog Standards. A great company with an amazing mission!

My dog has extreme dietary restrictions and allergies. To ensure gut health I add this probiotic to her meals daily.

It is part of our daily routine and ensures she if doing well and doesn't have any issues. I have used other products before but this one works great.

Great product and great support. Support Canadian. Only feedback is to introduce more variety if you can, perhaps another lean meat with grain.

I couldn’t be happier with this hypoallergenic dog food! My Westie Boba absolutely loves it — mealtime excitement is guaranteed, and her bowl is clean in seconds. I’ve also noticed she seems more comfortable and happy overall, which gives me real peace of mind as a pet owner. It’s such a relief to find a food that’s both gentle on her stomach and clearly delicious to her. Highly recommend to anyone with a sensitive dog

I’m a happy Dog Standards customer! I switched from premium kibble to Dog Standards 5 months ago and I’m so glad I did! Their food is high-quality, with simple, healthy ingredients, which gives me peace of mind. Their customer service is prompt and always accommodating of my requests. Most importantly, my dog loves the food. I’ve never seen him this excited for his meals!

The food is excellent and our dog loves it. Customer Service is responsive and courteous and always rectifies if something should go wrong. Great company.

It’s very easy to modify our order when needed.,, there’s always a prompt response and rarely a hiccup - our girl is loving the quality meals

My 17-yr-old pug X boston is thriving on this food! I was skeptical at fist, as he has developed such a sensitive tummy in his old age, but I was very slow in introducing it. I used it as a topper on his vet kibble at first, and noticed an improvement in his stools immediately, so slowlyyyyy switched him to 100% Dog Standards. His weight is good, coat is shiny, poops are good. He loves it, too- happy boy! And I love that it is delivered right to my door.

My dog is super picky eater and loves food from Dog Standards!!

My dog is a very finicky eater. He's been eating Dog Standards food and finishes is meals twice a day. I almost despaired at what food to give him, but I have finally found the food that makes us both happy

I have tried my dog on many foods as he has a sensitive stomach and nothing worked. Some did for a bit but then stopped working. Since being on Dog Standards, my dog loves the food, has no sensitivity and I love the clean ingredients-all human grade ingredients. I totally recommend them, especially if you love your pet

My dog loves the food - it is fresh and consistent and I love that it is local.

My fussy dog loves this food, and it's been gentle on her belly. No more itch! The team is great to work with when adjustment are needed. Can't imagine switching back to kibble!

My dog laps up the chicken meals. Her fur and digestion have been amazing. Vet visits confirm good health and she hikes and play. We love the Dog Stabdatds meals as a main or a topper.

I have always been a believer that feeding you dog quality food keep them away from the vet down the road. This food is fantastic! Well made and fresh. Invest in your dogs future - you won't regret it!!
