How Much Nom Nom to Feed Your Dog
Nom Nom definitely doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to feeding dogs. There are a variety of gently cooked dog food recipes designed to meet a range of needs, not to mention appeal to picky eaters.
And we don’t leave you hanging in terms of portion size either, which can be one of the most confusing aspects when it comes to caring for pups. We use the information you provide about your dog, including their age, weight, activity level and more, and pair it with an algorithm developed by our vet nutritionist and PhD-led nutrition team, to determine your pup’s approximate metabolism and calorie requirements. Then, we pre-portion and package their meals, so all you have to do is serve them! Start a Nom Nom subscription now.

These daily recommendations are only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your dog’s activity level and other individual factors. Grams are the most accurate form of measurement; cups are given to the closest proximity. If you have any questions about your dog’s health, consult your veterinarian.

Nom Nom Dog Food FAQ
How do I store Nom Nom dog food?
Our food is precious cargo. That’s why it’s packed to arrive frozen or cold to the touch. Store in the freezer immediately after unboxing, for up to 6 months. Thaw food in the fridge overnight before using.
Is it safe to refreeze Nom Nom if it’s already thawed?
Once defrosted, food can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. We do not recommend re-freezing.
How often should I feed my dog Nom Nom?
Every meal is calculated using an algorithm developed by our scientists based on the most recent research in veterinary nutrition. We look at age, weight and activity level to determine their approximate metabolism and caloric needs. We also pre-measure their meals so all you have to do is pour and serve twice a day.
How is Nom Nom dog food prepared?
Every meat and veggie is gently cooked individually, then mixed in batches to seal in vital nutrients and maximize digestibility. That’s why the beef looks like beef and the peas look like peas (because they are).
What ingredients and nutrients do you use in your dog food?
We use only real, premium ingredients, prepared and packed in our own Nashville kitchen, along with a proprietary nutrient blend to ensure meals are complete and balanced. This blend was developed by board-certified veterinary nutritionists and a PhD-led veterinary science team, and includes Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B12, Iron, Iodine, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Choline and Taurine.
