How shipping works

We ship all orders on Mondays and Tuesdays, so they arrive by Friday. You'll get a UPS tracking number when your order ships, and an email when it is delivered to your door. Orders arrive in insulated shipping boxes with dry ice (avoid touching the dry ice, it's so cold it can burn you).

How much to feed

Use 1 cube (4oz) for every 10lbs of dog weight, per day. For example: a 40-lb dog would eat 4 cubes/day. Feed 2-3x more for puppies and pregnant/nursing dogs. Adjust amount if dog loses/gains weight in first 2 weeks.

Use our feeding calculator for more.
