At Artie, we believe EVERY family member deserves warm, home-cooked meals. But most of us don’t have the time to prepare food for our pets from scratch, or the knowledge of how to make food that is nutritionally complete & balanced. Every Artie recipe has been developed by expert food formulators and approved by our Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist® to be perfectly portioned, perfectly nutritious (and delicious), and perfectly prepared by our Artie appliance.

Artie recipes are formulated to be nutritionally complete & balanced and validated under the guidance of our Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist®.

Artie’s artisan-inspired recipes include nutritious blends of freeze-dried/dehydrated proteins, whole fruits and vegetables, healthy grains, as well as essential vitamins and minerals. Visit our recipes page to see a complete list of our recipes and ingredients.

No! Since our recipes include freeze-dried and dehydrated ingredients, they require no refrigeration or freezing. Each Artie meal is sealed and shipped shelf-stable so that it can be stored in your kitchen, pantry, or cabinet.

Yes! Every Artie recipe is formulated to meet AAFCO standards and where appropriate, exceed them based on the direction of our Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist®. You can also review how we comply with WSAVA guidelines here.

It’s always a great idea to consult with your veterinarian before switching your pet to any new diet. All Artie meals are complete & balanced for adult dogs or cats, unless specifically designated for puppies. All recipes meet AAFCO standards and where appropriate, exceed them based on the direction of our Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist®.

Although our Artie meals are warm and delicious, we know a lot of you have some pretty picky pups! That's why we've created an Artie Sample Pack to let your dog try out all 3 of our recipes to see which one they love most. Click here to get your Trial Pack now.

Yes! Artie appliances and pre-portioned meals are shipped in 100% recyclable cardboard. Each Artie meal cup is also BPA free, phthalate free and recyclable in all communities that accept paper cups. Also, Artie lids are 100% aluminum and recyclable. Be sure to check your local guidelines to confirm that paper cups and aluminum lids can be recycled in your area. After serving an Artie meal, simply remove the lid and rinse or wipe the container clean before placing into the appropriate recycling container.

All our meats/poultry are USDA certified and locally sourced. We formulate our diets to the strict standards of our Board Certified Veterinarian Nutritionist® and hold ourselves to the highest food safety standards - well above what is required by the industry. We are choosing not to pursue a "human-grade" claim at this time. We've done the research and found that most "human-grade" diets can claim no health benefits from doing so. Don't just take our word for it though, check out this article from Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine addressing the topic.

We are working toward full non-GMO certification for all our ingredients. Although we would love to claim this now, it is something we take very seriously, and we will not add a non-GMO label until we have a certified and verified source for every single ingredient so we can stand confidently behind that label.

Yes, we strongly recommend you provide at least 1-2 weeks of time to help your pet gradually adjust to an Artie diet. Transition instructions will be provided.

Simply fill the water reservoir, insert your pet’s pre-portioned Artie meal, then press the button. The Artie appliance scans the bar code on the bottom of the bowl then delivers a precise combination of steam and hot water to lightly cook and prepare your pet's meal. This “blooming” process unlocks the fresh flavors and natural aromas within each ingredient, while creating a nutritious and mouth-watering bone broth your pets will love.

Cooking is complete in about 3 minutes and a melody plays telling you (and your pet) that your Artie meal is ready. Simply peel back the lid, gently stir the delicious bone broth into the meal, and transfer it directly into your pet’s bowl to be served.

The Artie appliance is roughly the same size as a traditional coffeemaker and will take up approximately the same amount of space. Product dimensions are roughly 10” wide (from left to right), 11.5” deep (from front to back), and 12” high (from top to bottom).

With each Artie meal, the appliance will scan a barcode on the bottom of the bowl that ensures it delivers the right amount of steam and hot water to prepare the meal. After cooking each meal, you'll remove the lid and gently stir the ingredients before transferring the meal to your pet's bowl. This allows the meal to be served at the perfect warm serving temperature or Prey Temperature™ of 95-105°F.

Yes! Artie meals are safe and ready to eat dry right out of the cup - just be sure to have lots of fresh clean water available! Also a great solution for traveling, you can prepare warm Artie meals without our appliance. Simply add hot water (just boiled is ideal) into the cup to the top of the food level, gently stir, then wait several minutes until the food reaches a safe serving temperature that is just warm to the touch (between 95-105° F).

The Artie appliance is currently available in 4 colors: Teal, Black, White & Red. We’re always looking for other great colors to add to our assortment. If there are other colors you would love us to consider, please Get in Touch.
