Nom Nom – Team – Fresh food for dogs, delivered-Nom Nom

For pets everywhere

We’re a team of pet scholars, virtuosos, polyglots and plain old obsessives. Everywhere from our kitchens to our research labs to our corporate HQ, you’ll find people working their tails off to create the best possible fresh food, supplements and nutritional support a dog could ever ask for.

Leashed up everywhere from Music City to the City of Brotherly Love, our distributed workforce backs our California and Nashville kitchens with fiercely loyal R&D, customer experience and marketing support.

2014

The year we were founded. Dreamed up in a 5×10 San Francisco apartment kitchen, by one very special dog and two very devoted pet parents.

170+

Dogs between us, pawing at our legs during very important meetings. Louie, Otis, Arthur, Caroline, Libby, Harlee, Franklin — these are our people.

3,000,000+

Boxes of fresh food delivered to date. A combined effort from every corner of our company, with no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

Our values

Doggedness

Everyone on our team works tirelessly to advance the world of pet health on a daily basis. Once we have the scent, we stay after it.

Stamina

Sprint. Jog. Circle back. Just don’t stand still. We’re at the forefront of a blossoming pet wellness industry, and we stay there by keeping all four legs in motion.

Innovation

Recipes are perfected through testing, experimentation and flat-out good science, including one of the largest pet microbiome databases in the world.

Balance

We’re mothers, fathers, teachers and students working smarter so we can play harder. Because if we’re not enjoying time with our pets, then what’s the point?

Integrity

Shortcuts are how the world got to kibble, and we’ll gladly take the long way around for a better product. Everyone on our team holds their heads high and their standards higher.

Collaboration

We bring out the best in ourselves to bring out the best in your pets, synthesizing years of veterinary, analytic and creative experience. Every perspective works to improve our recipes.
