Does Nom Nom fresh dog food need to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer?

Yes!  Nom Nom fresh dog food needs to be stored in the freezer until you are ready to thaw in the refrigerator.  We recommend moving a week’s worth of meals from the freezer to the fridge 1-2 days before you need them to give them a chance to thaw.

 

What if I forget to thaw my Nom Nom?

If you forget to thaw your Nom Nom meals, put the frozen packs in warm water to thaw before serving.

 

What are the Nom Nom fresh dog food flavors?

Nom Nom has 4 flavors for dogs including Beef Mash, Chicken Cuisine, Pork Potluck, and Turkey Fare.

 

Are Nom Nom meals prepared fresh?

Yes!  Nom Nom meals are prepared fresh each week, based on your pet’s profile, and are measured and individually portioned for each pet’s needs, to ensure zero food waste and make feeding a breeze.

 

Does Nom Nom have treats?

Yes!  Nom Nom has beef and chicken jerky treats. The beef jerky is made with 1 ingredient, 100% USDA-certified top sirloin beef.  The chicken jerky is made with restaurant-grade 100% USDA-certified chicken breast. Nom Nom never adds preservatives, additives, or anything else to their treats.

For our Nom Nom reviews, we tried the Pork Potluck for Daisy.  There was no real reason for this selection other than the ingredients looked good.

In addition to the dog meals, we also tried the beef and chicken jerky treats, both 2 oz. and cost $13 (or $20 for 4 oz bags).

This isn’t your average pet jerky filled with a little meat and a lot of filler.  This beef jerky is made with 1 ingredient, 100% USDA-certified top sirloin beef.  The chicken jerky is made with restaurant-grade 100% USDA-certified chicken breast. Nom Nom never adds preservatives, additives, or anything else to their treats.

 

Our Daisy is an 8 1/2-year-old female St. Berdoodle (St Bernard Poodle mix) that is at an ideal weight of 100lbs and has been on a higher-end kibble her whole life.   She will pretty much eat anything and is not picky at all 🙂

When our Nom Nom box arrived Daisy was very curious to see what was inside.

WARNING: Your furry friends will want to help you unpack! SHOP NOW >>

Nom Nom takes great care in the preparation and delivery of their pet meals.

All ingredients are sourced from the US and restaurant-quality food is prepared in Nom Nom’s owned-and-operated, FDA-compliant production facilities. 

Recipes are made with a shortlist of approved ingredients including meat, vegetables, healthy oils, and a vitamin and nutrient​ ​blend.  No additives or artificial ingredients are ever used.

 

Nom Nom meals are prepared fresh each week, based on your pet’s profile, and are measured and individually portioned for each pet’s needs, to ensure zero food waste and make feeding a breeze.

Meals are delivered with dry ice to keep them cold and fresh and all packaging is curbside recyclable, including the meal packs.

When your order arrives, open and unpack the box.

TIP: You should put a week’s worth of meals in the fridge and the rest in the freezer.  Be mindful of the difference between the transition food and regular portioned food as the transition packs contain half as much food as the full portions.

 

We move meals from the freezer to the fridge 1-2 days before we need them to give them a chance to thaw.  If you forget, no worries, just put the frozen packs in warm water to thaw before serving. SHOP NOW >>

 

Nom Nom Dog Food UNboxing-Nom Nom dog food reviews-mealfinds

 

Daisy has been on a kibble diet so Week 1 meals, breakfast and dinner, included half her normal kibble plus 2 pre-portioned “transition” bags of Nom Nom.  Daisy LOVED her Nom Nom Pork Potluck.

How do I know?  Every mealtime she would eat her Nom Nom first and then eat her kibble.  She’s a smart girl.

We didn’t notice a change in energy throughout the day, either way, during week 1, but Daisy is a pretty energetic lovey dog as it is.

Daisy’s excitement for mealtime did increase, as other Nom Nom users have reported, and she started begging for dinner 30 min early every day and whined while we got her bowl ready. SHOP NOW >>

Did you see the main ingredients?  Pork, Potatoes, Green Beans, Yellow Squash, Mushrooms, Kale, Nutrient Mix, and Fish Oil.

They sound more like a dinner that I had last week, minus the fish oil, than dog food, but that’s why Nom Nom is so great for your furry friends.

It’s real natural food with none of the gross artificial filler ingredients that are in most of the food that we feed our pets.  And look at the difference between the kibble and Nom Nom. SHOP NOW >>

The Nom Nom treats were a big hit as well!  You can’t go wrong with treats made with only 1 quality ingredient, just beef or just chicken, and our Daisy agrees. 

During Daisy’s second week, she was ready to enjoy full-sized portions of Nom Nom fresh food.

It didn’t seem like Daisy missed her kibble one bit!  In addition to Daisy loving her new food, we also noticed that her stools were smaller and harder.

This may be TMI, but when you are picking up after a 100lb dog stool size and consistency matter.  Smaller and harder = easier to pick up, and this makes everyone happy.

We also noticed that Daisy was less gassy.  Another bonus!  SHOP NOW >>

Nom Nom Dog Food Reviews: Bottom Line

nom nom fresh pork potluck food-nom nom reviews-mealfinds

Nom Nom fresh dog food is healthy, made with high-quality ingredients, and food that you can feel good about feeding to your best friend.

We love the pre-portioned packages as they make feeding fresh dog food hassle-free.

We also love that you can try out the “half-portions” added to your pet’s normal food,  which will give you the benefits of this healthy food at a fraction of the price.  This is a great option as it makes Nom Nom a more viable meal service for those of us with very large dogs and limited budgets.  Best of all, your dog or cat will love it!

My Daisy also really enjoyed the single-ingredient dog jerky treats.

And while our Daisy loved her Nom Nom, fresh food is more expensive than kibble and needs to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer, taking up valuable space.

We recommend Nom Nom for dog parents looking for a fresh, all-natural alternative to store-bought kibble, food that is better for their pets no matter their age or breed, and food that will help with loose stool.  SHOP NOW >>

Enjoy!
