We can deliver to all 48 contiguous states in the USA with free shipping. We also have the ability to deliver to Alaska & Hawaii, but we have to charge shipping for orders going to these 2 states.

Our boxes are made from cardboard that can be picked up by most curbside recycling programs. The refrigerated liners inside our boxes are compostable as they are made from non-GMO corn, meeting ASTM D-6400 for backyard or industrial compostability.

We’ll still deliver as we don’t require a signature upon arrival. We email you the tracking number for the delivery as soon as your pet’s food is shipped so you will know when the package arrives!

• How much food should I serve my pet?

We’ve developed a proprietary algorithm with our pet food formulation expert and veterinarian to determine how many calories your pet should be consuming per day based on your pet’s age, weight, and activity level. We also understand that no one knows your pet as well as you do, that’s why we let you decide if you want your pet to maintain, gain, or lose weight. The option to have your pet maintain, gain, or lose weight is only available to pet’s 1+ years old because puppies are continually growing.

• How long will Raised Right stay fresh after it’s delivered?

Each bag will have a best before date stamped on it with the freezer shelf life. After your pet’s food is defrosted, it will remain fresh in your refrigerator for 6 days.

Nutrition

• How is Raised Right’s food made?

All our food is lightly cooked in a USDA inspected human-grade facility with ingredients that have passed the standards necessary for human consumption. Our food is lightly cooked to the minimum temperatures required by the USDA to kill pathogens like E.coli, salmonella, & listeria (145 F for beef & pork and 165 F for chicken & turkey). Low temp cooking meets the USDA pathogen kill-step, while maintaining high levels of moisture and nutritional integrity. After each batch is cooked, we conduct lab safety tests for pathogens such as E.coli, salmonella, & listeria to help ensure they’re safe to eat. We have a hold release program where we don’t ever ship our food unless it has passed the lab safety test.

We work alongside world renowned veterinarian, Dr. Karen Becker and pet food formulation expert Steve Brown to formulate limited ingredient recipes that are low in carbs. Most of our recipes have less than 2% carbs because we don’t use any high carb fillers like potato, rice, oats, yam, squash, pasta, barley, parsnips, corn or wheat. All our recipes meet AAFCO’s requirements for a complete & balanced diet specific to the stage-of-life each pet is in. We have recipes formulated specifically for adult dogs, puppies, and adult cats. We were recently recognized by the Innovative Veterinary Care Journal for the impact our recipes are making in the lives of dogs & cats by being awarded the 2019 Innovation Award for Nutrition.

• Why don’t we ask you what your pet’s breed is when calculating your customized feeding instructions?

On a cellular level, a dog’s DNA is a dog’s DNA, and a cat’s DNA is a cat’s DNA. The only connection your pet’s breed has to its daily calorie requirement is through its activity level. The problem with this is that the activity level for every pet within a breed isn’t the same. We understand that no one knows your pet as well as you do, that’s why we let you decide your pet’s activity level. We’ve also taken the ability to customize your pet’s meals a step further through allowing you to decide if you want your pet to maintain, gain, or lose weight.
