NomNomNow knows that dog owners want the best for their furry companion. That’s why the company only delivers human-grade dog food meals made from the freshest restaurant-quality ingredients that are never frozen. It operates kitchen facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area and Nashville, Tennessee.
Veterinary nutritionist, Dr. Justin Shmalberg, formulated NomNomNow's dog food recipes. After trying conventional medicine to help his dog Liberty with her intractable seizures, and having no luck, Dr. Shmalberg sought another solution. In his search, he came across integrative veterinary medicine — conventional medicine and complementary and alternative therapies — which included supplements and a natural diet for Liberty.
NomNomNow’s mission is to help pet owners find the best integrative health solutions for their pets. The company’s core philosophy is that the best medicine for pets is preventative medicine — and that starts with feeding your pet healthy food.
Keep reading for pros and cons of buying from this fresh dog food delivery service, plus hundreds of NomNomNow reviews from real pet parents.
NomNomNow’s fresh meals are delivered just a few days after being prepared and are delivered straight to your home — eliminating the drive to the pet store. To help the perishable meal packages last longer, dog owners can place the extra meals in their fridge or freezer.
Your homemade dog food subscription can be delivered either weekly or every two weeks:

Many owners are eager to improve their dog’s diet but are unsure where to begin — and definitely don't have time to make home-cooked meals.
NomNomNow aims to help pet owners by delivering fresh cooked, personalized, pre-portioned meals for their pet. This isn't just a dry kibble delivery service or even canned food delivery. NomNomNow only makes premium dog food. Its balanced and complete meals are made from fresh ingredients and contain the essential nutrients your dog's body needs.
Customers will need to set up a profile for each pet (with information like age, weight, activity level, and health issues). Then, NomNomNow can create a perfectly portioned meal plan, based on Dr. Shmalberg’s recommendations for balanced nutrition. Meals are specially formulated based on your dog's profile, so no matter your dog's breed — whether you have a little puppy, large breed puppy, or even a senior dog — your meals will have the right combination of fresh fruits, protein, vegetables, vitamins, and nutrients that are best for your dog's health.
There are four different flavors of food for dogs. Each of these fresh meals includes different protein sources, as well as various fruits and vegetables:
Each of the recipes also includes the NomNomNutrient Mix and fish oil for healthy fatty acids. They also exceed the AAFCO dog food standards and are made from whole food ingredients for a well-balanced diet.
*Grain-free dog food meals for pets with food allergies
One thing that helps NomNomNow stand out from other homemade dog food delivery companies is its specially formulated nutrient mix. This mix of naturally derived vitamins and minerals is blended into each meal to create a more balanced diet for your furry friend. The NomNomNutrient Mix for dogs includes the following:

In addition to feeding your dog fresh, healthy meals, NomNom also sells treats for your pup:
These pet food products are available for one-time orders and shipping is free for orders over $30.
Owners can contact NomNomNow for a free nutrition consultation to ensure their dogs are getting the nutrients they need from this meal delivery service.
In addition to its fresh dog food subscription service, NomNomNow offers insights into your pup's health and well-being. It recently launched a dog-specific microbiome test kit that can help dog owners learn more about their pets’ digestive and overall health.
Dogs with digestive problems (diarrhea, gas, constipation, IBD) or skin issues (food sensitivities or itchy skin) may be missing healthy gut bacteria.
NomNomNow: INSIGHTS is an at-home testing kit that gives owners an in-depth look at the composition of their dog’s gut bacteria. Pet owners will need to collect a sample from their dog and send it to the company. A NomNomNow scientist will analyze the levels of good and bad bacteria in the stomach and send the pet owner the results.
NomNomNow: INSIGHTS is available for $59.
Alongside INSIGHTS, the company also formulated a full spectrum probiotic for dogs. The probiotic is designed to help maintain and boost your dog’s digestive health and wellness. Created with prebiotic fiber for additional bacteria development, 20 billion CFUs and seven full spectrum probiotic strains, the probiotic blend is appropriate for all dog breeds.
Each bottle contains a 30-day supply and comes with free shipping.
NomNomNow’s Full Spectrum Probiotic for Dogs is $45 per bottle.
In addition to the full-spectrum option, the company also offers a different blend of GI Targeted probiotics at the same price point.
Like several other meal delivery services with an emphasis on fresh food and timely delivery, NomNomNow does not deliver to Hawaii or Alaska. This is likely due to the distance, and the ability to keep meal packs fresh during the extended delivery time. These homemade meals do not contain artificial preservatives. For that reason, this and most other delivery services don't yet ship to Alaska or Hawaii.
NomNomNow does not allow any returns on items that are perishable or opened. So, that rules out any returns on its fresh food deliveries. However, treats and supplements can be returned if unopened.
If a customer wishes to return a non-perishable item, it must be returned within two weeks and include all the original packaging. Customers are also responsible for the cost of return shipping and a $5 restocking fee (per item) which will be deducted from the refund.
NomNomNow is not just a dog food delivery service; the company is a delivery service that focuses on your dog’s health by offering freshly prepared, restaurant-quality ingredients portioned to meet your pet’s unique needs. It also offers to test for insights into what your dog should be eating, as well as probiotics to help improve Fido’s digestion.
Dog owners can sign up for a subscription and have their pets’ food delivered every week or every two weeks, or they can buy the variety pack (no subscription necessary) — which is helpful for pet parents who want their picky eater to try each of the four recipes. The service even offers a sample of its Flavor Flakes supplement in every first order to help picky eaters transition to their new diet.
While the return policy seems a little inflexible — customers are responsible for the return shipping and a $5 restocking fee — it’s not without reason. All of NomNomNow’s meals are made fresh and sealed in individual packages to preserve freshness; opening a meal pack can compromise the meal. Perishable meals are non-returnable.
Pet owners looking for a natural pet food delivery service should look into NomNomNow.
