Ingredients & Sourcing

Real proteins and whole vegetables — turkey, beef or lamb, sweet potato, carrots, green beans, rolled oats, brown rice and split peas — plus flax meal, fish oil and cod liver oil for balanced fats, and rosemary, parsley, basil and turmeric for freshness. No fillers, no preservatives, no mystery meals. Every batch is cooked in small batches in our Roswell kitchen.

We buy proteins and produce from the same USDA-inspected restaurant purveyors that supply Atlanta's kitchens. If we wouldn't eat it, we don't cook with it.

Every recipe is tested at Clemson University's Agricultural Science Laboratory, and we publish the full Guaranteed Analysis for each one so you can see exactly what you're feeding. We recommend checking with your vet about whether it's the right fit for your dog's specific needs.

Feeding & Transition

It depends on weight, age, and activity. Use our feeding calculator for a starting point, then adjust based on your dog's condition over the first two weeks.

Transition over 7–10 days: start with 25% Gourmutt / 75% current food, then move to 50/50, then 75/25, then 100%. Sensitive stomachs can take longer — that's normal.

Absolutely. Many customers use us as a topper. Even 25% fresh makes a real difference in coat, energy, and stool quality.

Storage & Shelf Life

Sealed in the freezer: up to 6 months. Thawed in the fridge: 3–5 days. We recommend thawing one pack at a time.

Not required, but many dogs prefer it slightly warmed. Never microwave in the bag — transfer to a bowl and warm for 10–15 seconds.

Shipping & Pickup

We ship within Georgia and to select neighboring states in insulated boxes with dry ice. Flat-rate shipping for most of the southeast is $26, with UPS 2nd Day or overnight service available throughout the lower 48. Pickup is free at our Roswell bakery during store hours, Monday–Saturday.

Weekly and biweekly subscriptions keep the standard $8 local rate. Flat-rate shipping through most of the southeast is $26; extended zones are calculated by carrier at checkout.
