The DASH standard

Human-grade is only the starting point.

We call our standard Table-Grade. Real food, thoughtfully sourced and held to one simple belief: if it's not good enough for our table, it's not good enough for their bowl.

What Table-Grade looks like in the bowl.

  1. Meat we'd choose for our own table.
    01Sourcing

    Meat we'd choose for our own table.

    100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef and USDA Organic chicken, sourced to standards we believe belong at the family table.

    DASH was built by a team with nearly a decade of experience sourcing meat for people at ButcherBox, and we bring that same standard to what goes in the bowl.

  2. Cooked with care. Not ultra-processed.
    02Processing

    Cooked with care. Not ultra-processed.

    DASH is sous-vide cooked at 165°F, a gentler alternative to the higher-heat, ultra-processing methods used to make most kibble.

    It's a cooking method chosen to protect the flavor and aroma of real ingredients, so mealtime stays something dogs actually get excited about.

  3. Quality without compromising nutrition.
    03Nutrition

    Quality without compromising nutrition.

    Every recipe is complete and balanced to meet AAFCO standards, with clinically backed pre- and postbiotics built into every bowl.

    Because better sourcing and gentler cooking should still deliver the complete nutrition dogs need every day.

  4. A decade of sourcing experience behind every bowl.
    04Heritage

    A decade of sourcing experience behind every bowl.

    DASH brings the sourcing heritage of the team that built ButcherBox, nearly a decade spent deciding what does and doesn't make the cut when sourcing food for people.

    We bring that same level of scrutiny to the food we make for dogs.

  • USDA Organic Chicken
  • Protein Is the #1 Ingredient
  • Sweet Potato
  • Spinach
  • Blueberries
  • Salmon Oil
  • Pre- and Postbiotics

Why it matters

Better food for more good days together.

Thoughtful sourcing and complete nutrition aren't just standards on a page. They're choices designed to support dogs from the inside out.

  • Better digestion

    Clinically backed pre- and postbiotics help support a healthy gut and digestion.

  • Healthy skin and coat

    Omega-3s from salmon oil help support healthy skin and a shiny coat.

  • Everyday energy

    Complete and balanced nutrition with beef or chicken as the #1 ingredient helps fuel their everyday routine.

  • Meals they're excited to eat

    Beef or chicken, recognizable ingredients and gently sous-vide cooked recipes make mealtime something worth looking forward to.

Why Table-Grade exists

Because “good enough for dogs” was never good enough for us.

Dogs are part of the family. We believe the care that goes into feeding them should reflect that. Table-Grade is our promise to keep asking the question that started DASH: would we feel good putting this on our own table?
