A Pup Above's human-grade dog food has been a hit in Unleashed stores. Now, they are joining us for Spring Fling as a Vendor AND a Sponsor! We are so grateful to have their support for this year's event. We have so many fun things planned like...
Our Doggie Easter Egg Hunt!! As one of our Sponsors, A Pup Above has helped make it possible for everyone who donates to the Egg Hunt to get a FREE tote bag pre-stuffed with goodies and ready to fill up with egg prizes! Be sure to Pre-Register for the Egg Hunt to secure your spot and get your bag!
A Pup Above was created to make it super simple to know what’s in your dog’s bowl. Founders Ruth and Javier also believe in making food more sustainable so it’s better for humans, pups, and the planet. Their company ensures more humans and pups get to eat the good stuff.
"We’re dog parents. We go to the park. We pack plenty of doggy bags, and we want to give our pup Lola the very best. When we got Lola, we found it almost impossible to know what was in her food or where it was coming from, and that was frustrating.
Lola was the whole inspiration for A Pup Above and her parents, Ruth and Javier, worked hard to come up with a food that was good for her AND that she would actually eat. Their human-grade, lightly cooked recipes come in frozen patties and dried "cubies" that serve like a dry food but are far from the usual kibble.
On top of producing great food that dogs love, A Pup Above works to be the best they can for the planet, with 100% recyclable packaging and by using the "ugly" produce that may not be appealing for humans, after all, it still has the same number of vitamins and nutrients! They also contribute to the White Buffalo Land Trust, an organization involved with promoting regenerative farming.
When the frozen formulas thaw, it's hard to tell that they are dog food. They look and smell like something you would cook for dinner at home! The cubies are cooked in the same way as the frozen lightly cooked, sous vide, but then slowly air dried and diced up for convenience. Bone broth is added to all their formulas; it's chock-full of nutrients but sometimes it can be hard to go through a full container before it goes bad, especially for people with a small dog. That's why A Pup Above decided to add it straight to the food. All their food is produced in a USDA inspected, human food facility. This means that all their ingredients are subject to the same standards as the human food that is produced there.
Find A Pup Above at your local Unleashed, the Dog & Cat Store. With options like Porky's Luau, Turkey Pawella, Texas Beef Stew, Chicka Chicka Bow Wow, Turducken and Fish Gone Wild, there's a lot to explore. Worried about trying something new? Unleashed always honors a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all pet foods and will take back anything that isn't best suited for your pet. Unleashed also has highly trained employees to help you with transitions.
