A Pup Above Gently Cooked Grain-Free Frozen Dog Food

Vet-formulated: Each recipe is crafted by board-certified veterinary nutritionists to ensure complete, balanced nutrition that meets AAFCO standards. Most dog food brands stop there. We don't.

WHAT ARE FEEDING TRIALS AND DIGESTIBILITY STUDIES?

Feeding trials and digestibility studies confirm a dog food is complete and balanced in real life, not just on paper. Any brand can formulate a recipe that looks good in a spreadsheet. Fewer are willing to prove it actually works inside a dog.

A Pup Above conducts 6-month, in-home feeding trials to verify that nutrients are properly absorbed, body condition remains stable, and no signs of nutritional imbalance occur. These trials are expensive and time-consuming. We do them anyway because your dog deserves food that's been proven, not assumed.

Digestibility studies measure how efficiently dogs absorb key nutrients. A Pup Above is 93% digestible, validated by independent feeding trials. That means more nutrition absorbed from every bowl, less waste in your yard, and a dog whose body is actually getting what the label promises.

100% Human-Grade: Our food is made in USDA-inspected, human-grade kitchens that go above and beyond industry standards. Every step—from ingredient sourcing to store delivery—meets the strict requirements for 100% human-grade quality.

Non-GMO Produce: We use fresh, non-GMO fruits and vegetables, including upcycled produce that helps reduce food waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

Sous-Vide Cooked: We cook sous vide — a method widely used in fine-dining kitchens to enhance flavor, preserve whole-food nutrients, and cook meat to perfection.
