How Nom Nom Works

Nom Nom starts with a personalized survey about your dog. Enter your dog’s age, gender and breed. Next up you enter your pup’s weight and age. Then you get to choose more detailed information about the body condition of your dog. You can pick Underweight (ribs and hips highly visible, appear to jut out), Ideal (waist and outline of ribs visible, belly tucks up) or Overweight (waist barely visible, fat deposits on the back). 

Then on to your dog’s eating habits and health issues. You can choose if your dog is a picky eater, has food allergies or stomach issues, has a doll or flaky coat and/or arthritis or joint pain. Based on your answers, you are then given recommendations for a recipe for your dog. From there you can add another pet or go to the final step where you can add on a probiotic supplement if you choose.

Nom Nom offers four recipes for dogs: Beef Mash, Pork Potluck, Chicken Cuisine and

Turkey Fare. Each recipe contains real meals and veggies, never fillers! Meals are measured and then sealed in pre-portioned batches to meet your pet’s personal nutritional needs. 

Once you place your order your trial box with 2 weeks worth of meals will be shipped straight to your door. All packing is made with recyclable materials and boxes arrive cold and fresh. The box will contain the pre-portioned meals and personalized instructions. Best of all, shipping is free! From there on you can customize your delivery schedule on auto-ship so your pup will never run out of fresh food.
