Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We have answers.

Why should I choose Dash Dog Food over other fresh dog food companies?
We're the only fresh dog food brand built on a decade of ButcherBox's expertise in ethical meat sourcing. Our 100% grass-fed beef and certified organic chicken come from farms with Certified Humane standards. We sous-vide cook each meal individually at 165°F to preserve more nutrients than high-heat mass production.
How much does Dash Dog Food cost?
Plans start as low as $4 per day depending on your dog's size and needs. Small dogs (10-15 lbs) start at $4/day, medium dogs (15-25 lbs) start at $6/day, and large dogs (55-75 lbs) start at $12/day. Take our 2-minute quiz to see your dog's exact pricing and customized meal plan.
How is Dash Dog Food different from The Farmer's Dog or other fresh brands?
While other fresh brands offer "human-grade" ingredients, they often use meat from animals given routine antibiotics and hormones, practices USDA allows in human food. Our 100% grass-fed beef and certified organic chicken exceed these standards, meeting the same sourcing standards trusted by hundreds of thousands of ButcherBox families. We also sous-vide cook at 165°F to preserve more nutrients, and we hold Certified Humane standards, something most competitors don't offer.
Can I cancel or pause my subscription anytime?
Absolutely. Cancel, pause, or skip deliveries anytime with one click in your account. No fees, no notice period, no questions asked. You're also free to adjust portions, change recipes, or modify delivery frequency whenever needed.
How do I transition my dog to Dash Dog Food?
We recommend gradual transition over 7-10 days, mixing increasing amounts of Dash Dog Food with your current food. Detailed transition guide included with first order. Most dogs transition smoothly, but temporary digestive adjustment (softer stools) is normal as their system adapts to fresh food.
Is this food nutritionally complete?
Yes. All recipes are formulated to meet AAFCO standards for complete and balanced nutrition. Safe for daily feeding as your dog's sole diet.
What if my dog doesn't like it?
We offer a 100% money-back guarantee on your first box. If your dog doesn't love it, contact us for a full refund—no return necessary.
Where is the food made?
All recipes are sous-vide cooked at 165°F in small batches in USDA-certified kitchens in the United States, following the same food safety standards as human food production.
Can I mix this with my current food?
Yes! Many customers will progressively mix in fresh food before transitioning fully. Our flexible plans allow you to adjust to whatever works best for you and your pup.
How often will food be delivered?
You choose delivery frequency based on your dog's consumption rate—every 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks. Easily adjust schedule anytime in your account.
