Questions, answered.

Is DASH ‘human-grade’?
We don’t lean on that label, because ‘human-grade’ is just the legal floor: it only means an ingredient could be used in human food. We hold our protein to a higher bar than that. Grass-fed beef and organic chicken, humanely raised, no antibiotics, no added hormones, sourced to the same standards we’ve kept for our human products for over a decade.
Where does the meat actually come from?
Our proteins come from the same supply chain that feeds ButcherBox’s human meals, sourced with the same expertise: grass-fed beef and organic chicken, humanely raised to standards we’ve kept for over a decade. We know exactly where every protein comes from. That’s not something most pet food companies can say.
What does ‘grass-fed’ and ‘humanely raised’ mean in practice?
Grass-fed cattle are raised on pasture and fed a natural grass diet, not grain-finished in feedlots. Humanely raised means the animals are given space to move, are not kept in confined conditions, and are not given unnecessary antibiotics or added hormones. These aren’t just marketing terms for us. They’re standards we’ve held to for our human products for over a decade.
Why does cooking temperature matter?
Most commercial dog food, including a lot of fresh food, is cooked at high heat. High heat destroys amino acids, vitamins, and natural flavour compounds. We cook at 165°F using a sous-vide method, which preserves more of what makes the food nutritious and palatable. Your dog gets more from every bite.
What is AAFCO complete and balanced?
AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) sets the nutritional standards for pet food in the US. Complete and balanced means the food meets all of your dog’s daily nutritional requirements on its own, with nothing else needed. Our recipes are vet-formulated and tested to meet these standards for all life stages.
How does DASH compare to other premium fresh dog foods?
The main differences are sourcing and cooking method. We use humanely raised grass-fed beef and organic chicken from farms you can trust. We cook at 165°F to preserve nutrients. And we include clinically backed pre- and postbiotics in every recipe, supporting digestion and helping your dog absorb more of what’s in the bowl.
Can I see the full ingredient list before ordering?
Yes. Full ingredient lists for every recipe are available on the product pages. Nothing is hidden. If you have questions about a specific ingredient or protein source, our team is happy to help.
Can I pause, skip, or cancel easily?
Yes. Pause, skip, cancel, change delivery frequency, or adjust your meal plan anytime from your account. No calls. No hoops. You’re in control.
