Why Choose Artie - Our Cost & Value

Not all pet food options are created equal. Artie was created to help every family member (including the furry ones) enjoy convenient and healthy home-cooked meals.

We take pride in each specially formulated recipe, which provides the highest of quality to optimize the health of your beloved pet. Each Artie Harvest Bowl serving (of any size!) is a complete and properly balanced meal for your pet. And with a Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist® approving our recipes and guiding our quality control, you can feel confident purchasing Artie for your dog.

Pet diets must be formulated with the appropriate concentrations and proportions of proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals to support overall health, promote a strong immune system, and optimize energy levels. Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist(r) (not just veterinary) approval means the food meets or exceeds stringent standards for quality and safety and gives pet owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are consuming meals that support their health and well-being. 

But don’t just take our word for it; let’s break down why investing in Artie is a great option for you and your furry friend.

Why Investing in Balanced Meals Matters

Each serving is balanced to best support your dog. Our chief tasting staff can prove it! With the convenience of pushing one button, our freeze-dried and dehydrated ingredients transform into a warm, fresh, home-cooked meal right before your eyes. All you have to do is pop the prepared meal cup into our handy appliance, and have a warm, home-cooked meal ready in two minutes, all at the press of a button.

Artie uses authentic USDA proteins in our home-cooked meals. Not only do we pride ourselves on the quality of our proteins, but every ingredient supplier is held to high quality standards and undergoes stringent screening and quality control testing to ensure we provide the highest level of safety and nutrition possible. These standards not only ensure a high level of nutrition and flavor but also help us all feel good knowing our diets are responsibly and humanely sourced.

Prolonged exposure to heat can cause degradation of certain nutrients, which is why reputable kibble manufacturers have to augment their recipes with additional ingredients to take into consideration those losses. Artie is a completely different form of food as it uses whole, lightly cooked vegetables that retain their full range of vitamins and nutrients. With whole ingredients, such as pre-cooked oats, sweet potatoes, green beans, and bananas, our meals require less supplemental ingredients to provide all of the essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber your pet needs for better overall health and vitality at a great price!

Precise Portion Sizing for Healthy Convenience

Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for your dog's longevity and well-being. Artie provides custom-tailored meal options based on your dog's specific needs, delivered in pre-portioned cups. This precision helps prevent overfeeding, promote a balanced diet, and reduce the risk of obesity-related health issues.

In addition to personalized portions, our shelf-stable meals provide unparalleled convenience. With regular deliveries and free shipping, you never have to worry about running out of food or making last-minute trips to the store. Shelf-stable options mean you can store food without refrigeration and save valuable fridge or freezer space with meals that are always ready to be home-cooked at the touch of a button. 

This hassle-free solution simplifies feeding routines and provides consistent nutrition. It’s an ideal choice for busy pet parents who still want their dogs to experience eating warm, fresh meals.

Worried about the environment? We are too!

That is why we use recycled cardboard, which can be recycled again! We are also actively working on further reducing our carbon footprint by moving toward a compostable solution for our containers. They currently contain a polymer (or plastic coating), so please check with your local recycling center as they may not be recyclable in your area. We’re always exploring more sustainable packaging options, so if you have any suggestions for us, please feel free to get in touch!
