Introducing Table-Grade

“Human-grade” is the floor.
Table-grade is the standard.

“Human-grade” is a floor, not a promise. Table-grade is 100% grass-fed beef and organic chicken, sous-vide cooked at 165°F, with clinically backed pre- and postbiotics.

Why “Table-Grade” Is a Higher Bar

“Human-grade” became a marketing shorthand, not a promise. It’s a legal classification for how an ingredient is handled, not a judgment on whether the finished food is something you’d want on your own plate twice, let alone every day for years. Table-grade is DASH’s answer to that gap: food built to a standard you’d actually hold yourself to, not the minimum the label allows.

The floor vs. the standard

“Human-grade” describes ingredient sourcing rules. It doesn’t describe the finished meal, how it’s cooked, or whether it holds up to daily use. Table-grade is about the whole plate: sourcing, cooking method, and whether it’s something you’d serve again tomorrow without a second thought.

Butcher-grade protein

100% grass-fed beef and organic chicken, sourced through a decade of ButcherBox meat expertise. The same butcher-grade protein people buy for themselves.

Slow-cooked, not blasted

Most fresh dog food is mass-produced at higher heat that strips out aroma and texture. DASH is sous-vide cooked at 165°F in small batches, the way you’d cook a meal you were serving to guests, not a commodity product.

Built for every day, not just the label

Clinically backed pre- and postbiotics in every recipe, because “good enough to eat” and “good enough to eat every day without issue” are two different bars. Table-grade means it holds up over time, not just on a spec sheet.

Questions, answered.

What does “table-grade” actually mean?
It’s our term for a standard above “human-grade.” Human-grade is a legal classification describing how ingredients were sourced and handled; it doesn’t guarantee taste, texture, or whether the finished food is something you’d choose to serve daily. Table-grade means the whole meal, protein, cooking method, and consistency, is built to hold up to your own standards, not just the regulatory minimum.
Is table-grade food safe for my dog?
Yes. Every DASH recipe is formulated to AAFCO Complete & Balanced standards and tested for quality, on top of the sourcing and cooking standards that define table-grade.
How is this different from other “human-grade” fresh dog foods?
Most human-grade fresh food still gets mass-produced at higher heat, which cooks off aroma and can flatten texture. DASH sous-vide cooks at 165°F in small batches and uses 100% grass-fed beef and organic chicken sourced to butcher-grade standards, closer to a meal you’d actually cook than a processed patty.
Does “table-grade” mean I should feed my dog from my own plate?
No, it’s a quality standard, not a feeding instruction. Human food (seasoned, cooked with onion, garlic, excess fat, etc.) can still be unsafe for dogs. Table-grade describes the standard DASH holds its own recipes to, not a recommendation to share your dinner.
What if my dog doesn’t take to it?
You get a full refund on your first order. No return needed.
Can I pause or cancel if my dog’s needs change?
Yes, anytime from your account, no calls required.
