Frequently Asked Questions

What's in Frank's Fresh recipes?

Frank's Fresh is based on real nutrition and whole foods, with no synthetics or fillers.

Are Frank's Fresh recipes 'complete and balanced'?

The 'complete and balanced' designation in dog food basically means that enough synthetic vitamins have been mixed in to theoretically meet a dog's needs for those vitamins at levels determined by AAFCO (the regulatory body of animal and livestock feed). Because we don't use synthetics - and instead rotate a variety of human grade proteins, fruits and vegetables to supply a balance of necessary nutrients over time - we cannot use that phrasing.

Where do you deliver?

Our delivery area covers the Roaring Fork Valley, from Aspen to Glenwood Springs. If you're a bit farther away (say, Silt, or Eagle County), give us a holler and we can likely work something out.

When do you deliver?

We deliver each Thursday for orders received by the previous Saturday.

How do I know how much to order?

Many customers find that their dogs eat about the same quantity of Frank's Fresh dog food as they did with their previous diet. For example, if your dog is eating 2 cups per day (one cup in the morning and one in the evening), it's likely your dog will also eat 2 cups per day of Frank's Fresh.

The Frank's Fresh Story

At seven years old, Frank needed a TPLO (doggy ACL) surgery. Then the other leg began to fail. While we'd begun exploring fresher food option in the years prior, we wondered if these costly surgeries could have been avoided by taking care of his connective tissue and whole-body health with a nutritious fresh food diet, instead of starchy kibble.

That's when we made the switch, and Frank, in his middle age, became a new dog.

We immediately noticed a difference in his coat (So soft! So shiny!) and energy levels (puppy-era zoomies!). Considering this change, we shouldn't have been surprised: after all, we all feel better when eating fresh, whole, and biologically appropriate foods.

After finding the majority of "fresh" dog food to be filled with synthetic vitamins and low quality ingredients (not to mention the plastic packaging and a growing stack of cardboard boxes), we went all in on making the highest quality dog food available. Meghan worked through a year-long canine education nutrition program, earning a certificate in Feline and Canine Nutrition while starting Frank's Fresh Dog Food here in the Roaring Fork Valley.

We know that diet is the driver of good health, and our products reflect a mission to provide longevity to pets' lives.
