    It also depends on your dog’s feeding regimen. Some people feed their dog only Kivi’s Pet Food, some people do half kibble/half Kivis, and some people just use Kivis as a treat.

  • We recommend warming it up for them, nothing hits like a nice warm meal, right? To warm up, simply plop a frozen vacuum pack of food into a small pot of boiling water. Bring back to a boil then reduce to simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve.

    You can also serve it cold. Simply place a frozen vacuum pack of food in the fridge to thaw out (usually overnight) and then serve cold once it is fully thawed.

    Refrigerate any leftovers and use within 3 days.

  • Most likely it is rice or lentils. Some dogs can process these ingredients better than others, but don’t worry, there is nothing harmful about this! Your dog is still getting all the nutrients and benefits.

    If you are concerned and unsure, please contact your veterinarian.

  • Kivi’s Pet Food will last up to 6 months if kept frozen and vacuum-sealed. However, we suggest using within 30 days of delivery to have the freshest, most nutritious food.

  • Take it slow. We recommend 3-4 days of 75% their old food and 25% Kivis. Then 3-4 days of 50% old food, 50% Kivis. Then 3-4 days of 25% old food and 75% Kivis. Then you can switch fully.

    Every dog is different though and we recommend paying close attention to your dog through transition and contact a veterinarian should you need any help or guidance.

  • YES! If you are on a subscription plan or are ordering multiple times, you can (and we suggest you do) leave the previous delivery packaging at the delivery place for us to pick up and reuse. Customers that do this will receive a discount code.

    Additionally, the ice packs we use are completely reusable. Just let them thaw and you can store them. When ready to use them, just run them under water for a bit and then stick them in the freezer.

  • It’s simple. Kivi’s locally sources the highest quality ingredients, cooks your order AFTER the order is placed and then flash-frozen, and then we deliver it directly to your door! That’s what makes our product superior. But also, Kivi Pets cares about our customers, our community and our environment. 1% of all our profits are donated to local animal welfare groups, we use sustainable and/or reusable packaging as much as possible, and we put great love and attention to detail to everything we do. The way our operations are set up, we have < 1% food waste. That is unheard of. We care about the places we live.
