Brett Podolsky’s pup, Jada, was suffering from stomach problems. Instead of buying veterinarian-recommended dog food, he prepared it himself using the same ingredients, only fresh. As if by magic, Jada’s stomach issues were solved and The Farmer’s Dog was born. Get real food, made fresh, straight to your door with a personalized meal plan for your furry foodie.

The Farmer’s Dog plans start at $2 per day.

3. Bark Bright

Who’s ready to rid your household of dodgy doggy breath? Bark Bright contains a month’s supply of dental sticks and a tube of triple enzymatic dental gel. Squeeze the gel onto the wide edge of the delicious chicken dental stick and let your pooch do what she does best, chow down! The stick scrubs debris off the teeth and the enzymes break it down, leading to a fresher mouth and improved dental hygiene.

Bark Bright’s monthly subscription starts at $25 for six months.

Formerly known as Grocery Pup, A Pup Above aims to fill your pooch’s belly with fresh, real and protein-packed food. Using only non-GMO veggies and USDA meats, the Austin-based dog food specialists vacuum-seal the food and cook it sous vide for two hours. The process kills pathogens but retains all the nutrients needed for a healthy and balanced diet. The bags of frozen food are then delivered to your door, ready to defrost in 30 minutes. Frozen flavors include Texas Beef Stew, Porky’s Luau and Turkey Pawella. Or, check out A Pup Above’s range of dry food flavors that include Beef Pot Roast and Turkey Pilaf.

A Pup Above meal plans start at $7.50 per day.
