The Pets Table Review: I Tried This Fresh Dog Food Delivery Service — Here’s How My Pup Responded

Every day, I aim to eat a nutrient-dense diet filled with fresh produce and high-quality proteins—the kind of food that makes me feel energized and supported from the inside out. Naturally, I want the same for my dog. That’s why I decided to try The Pets Table, a personalized dog food service that promises fresh, human-grade ingredients and meals tailored to your pup’s breed, weight, and activity level.

The Pets Table is a subscription-based service that delivers dog food directly to your door. The core appeal is personalization: instead of simply choosing a bag of food based on marketing claims, you build a plan based on your dog’s breed, size, age, body condition, and daily activity. Those inputs guide the brand’s algorithm, which calculates the exact caloric needs and portion sizes your dog should receive each day.

Once your dog’s profile is created, you can choose from several feeding formats. The brand offers gently cooked fresh meals or air-dried options, or mixed plans for those who want to combine fresh and dry foods. This flexibility is helpful for dog owners who want to upgrade nutrition without committing solely to freezer-based meals.

The initial quiz feels simple, but it collects all of the essential information needed to build a personalized feeding plan. You’ll enter your dog’s breed, age, current weight, ideal weight, and activity level. Plus, there’s room to detail any allergies or sensitive stomach issues—as well as your overall goal for your pup’s diet.

Once your dog’s profile is complete, The Pets Table guides you through creating your first shipment. Instead of presenting a rigid selection, the site allows you to adjust your box based on your feeding style. You can opt for a 100% Pets Table diet or choose a mixed approach that combines their meals with your existing kibble.

Recipes can be selected based on your dog’s preferences — whether they lean toward poultry, beef, lamb, or salmon. You’ll also have the option to adjust how much fresh food versus air dried food you want included. 

Delivery frequency is customizable, too, ranging from weekly shipments to larger monthly boxes. Owners with limited freezer space might choose smaller, more frequent deliveries, while others may prefer stocking up all at once.

My first delivery arrived in a sturdy, insulated box built to keep fresh meals cold throughout transit. Inside, everything was neatly organized: fresh trays were stacked and chilled with ice packs, and the dry or air-dried foods came in resealable, easily stored bags. A welcome packet explained the feeding guidelines for my dog’s weight and activity level, along with tips for storing and thawing the fresh meals.

Here’s the part that truly surprised me: my dog adored this food. She dove into the fresh portion the moment her bowl hit the floor, finishing every bite before methodically moving to the dry portion. The enthusiasm was unlike anything I’d seen with her usual kibble.

The real test came when we temporarily ran out of Pets Table meals. I filled her bowl with the same kibble she’s eaten for years without hesitation—and she simply refused it. She sniffed it and walked away like I had tried to serve her celery (her least favorite vegetable). It was the clearest possible endorsement.

That said, I quickly learned how important a slow transition is. When we switched too quickly, her stomach didn’t love the sudden change. But once we followed a more gradual 7–10 day introduction, mixing small amounts of The Pets Table into her existing food, she adjusted beautifully. 

Beyond the core meal plans, The Pets Table also sells treats and supplements to support digestion and flavor variety. These aren’t required for the program, but they can help add texture or targeted nutrients to your dog’s meals. 

Compared to basic grocery-store kibble, The Pets Table is undeniably more expensive. But within the landscape of premium dog food, the pricing is reasonable, especially considering the freshness, quality of ingredients, and the high level of personalization built into each shipment.

If your dog struggles with digestion, weight management, dull coat, picky eating, or inconsistent energy levels, the upgrade can be worth it. For my dog, the benefits were immediate: better enthusiasm at mealtime, a noticeably softer coat, zero weight gain, and a clear preference for The Pets Table over her long-standing kibble brand.
