The Pets Table Review: A Flexible Approach to Fresh Dog Food

The Pets Table is a unique dog food delivery service that aims to make fresh food more accessible to pet owners. With a range of subscription plans, this service offers flexibility in terms of cost and time commitment, while still helping to improve your dog's nutrition.

## Why Optimizing Your Dog's Diet Is So Tricky

Optimizing your dog's diet can be tricky due to the convenience of dry kibble. While there are some great options available, dry kibble is often overprocessed, filled with preservatives and synthetic nutrients, and contains unnecessary filler ingredients. In contrast, fresh food is often pricey, requires extra time and clean up, and takes up space in the fridge or freezer.

## The Benefits of Fresh Diets

Fresh diets, on the other hand, tend to use higher-quality, more nutritionally dense ingredients, are less processed, contain fewer additives, and most dogs love the taste. The result is a meal that is full of safe, fresh ingredients that retain their nutritional value.

## About The Pets Table

The Pets Table takes a different approach to subscription dog food than most of their competitors. They offer different subscription meal plan options, including 100% Fresh, 100% Air-Dried, 100% EasyFresh, Mixed, and Half Fresh plans. This flexibility makes it easier to introduce fresh food gradually, manage your budget, and create a feeding routine that fits your dog's needs and your lifestyle.

### Plan Options

The Pets Table offers several ways to customize your dog's feeding routine. You can choose to feed exclusively Fresh, EasyFresh, or Air-Dried food, depending on your preferences for nutrition, convenience, storage, and cost. You can also mix these formats, combining fresh meals with Air-Dried for greater flexibility. Alternatively, the Half Fresh option allows you to feed The Pets Table alongside your dog's existing food, replacing roughly half of their diet with Fresh meals.

### Subscription Features

The Pets Table subscription is designed for convenience, with meals tailored to your dog's profile and delivered directly to your door on a recurring schedule. You can manage your deliveries online, adjusting quantities, changing delivery dates, skipping shipments, or canceling as needed.

## Ingredients

The Pets Table emphasizes high-quality, whole-food ingredients, with recipes built around recognizable sources of animal protein such as chicken, turkey, beef, and fish, alongside vegetables, fruits, and other nutrient-rich ingredients.

### Recipe Options

The Pets Table offers numerous Fresh, EasyFresh, and Air-Dried recipes so you can find the perfect one for your dog, or keep things interesting by offering new options each week.

| **Recipe Type** | **Recipe Name** | **Ingredients** | | --- | --- | --- | | Fresh | Beef Stew with Carrots | Beef, beef heart, carrots, sweet potatoes | | Air-Dried | Beef & Berries | Beef, beef liver, blueberries, cranberries | | Easy-Fresh | Chicken and Kale Stew | Chicken, chicken liver, kale, quinoa |

## Our Experience With The Pets Table

To test out The Pets Table subscription plans and their recipes, we enlisted the help of a 15-year-old Dalmatian mix, Ragz. We opted to try two of their Air-Dried foods and one Fresh recipe. The Air-Dried options came in small bags to match the length of our trial period. Unlike some subscription options that tailor the portion sizes specifically to your dog, the Fresh meals were portioned based on the dog's weight and activity level.

The Pets Table is a great option for owners looking for diets with recognizable, minimally processed ingredients. With a range of subscription plans and recipes to choose from, this service makes it easy to introduce fresh food gradually, manage your budget, and create a feeding routine that fits your dog's needs and your lifestyle.
