About us

Nutrition you can trust. Service you can depend on.

More than food.  More than service.  More than you expect.

The Slow-Cooked Difference

We take care in preparing all of our foods—slow cooked in small batches, right here in the U.S.A. By cooking gently at lower temperatures, we lock in more nutrients, creating foods that work harder for your pet’s health, the way nature intended.

This process delivers truly complete nutrition, supporting a strong immune system, a healthy heart and brain, flexible hips and joints, and a shiny skin and coat.

And it’s not just our promise—it’s science. Our slow-cooking method has been researched and validated by leading pet nutrition experts at Kansas State University for its superior nutritional benefits. It’s a difference you can see, and one your pet will feel.

Complete Nutrition

At The Pet Pantry, we know that complete and balanced nutrition is the foundation for a longer, healthier, and happier life. That’s why our Holistic Choice recipes are crafted using carefully sourced ingredients from the U.S.A. that deliver the perfect balance of protein, vitamins, and essential nutrients.

Every meal is designed to support energy, vitality, and well-being with functional ingredients—so your furry friend can thrive at every stage of life. With The Pet Pantry, you’re not just filling a bowl, you’re nourishing a longer, healthier future.

We love The Pet Pantry! Our pups have been enjoying their products for several years. There are always happy paws when din din rolls around at our house. We are proud to be supporting a small local business. They offer high quality food at a fair price. And, don't forget to try out their treats. Our deliveries are always on time and so very convenient! Their communication is superb. We can highly recommend The Pet Pantry!

I’ve been using The Pet Pantry for many years and continue to be impressed with their customer service, the quality of the food and the variety of offerings. I found them when I had a dog with significant allergies, and the Pet Pantry brand was less expensive and easier to get than driving to the vet’s office every month. I’ve continued to use Pet Pantry food and treats with my next dog. Ordering is easy and it generally arrives the next day (I’m on an auto ship now). I’ll never go back to buying food in the store again.

I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at The Pet Pantry. From the high quality and affordability of their products, to the ease of managing subscriptions, and the quality of the delivery (always have a special treat inside for the furry ones), they have taken amazing care of me and all my friends pets for years. You simply can’t beat the quality and convenience plus the good feeling you get supporting a local company. Pet Pantry is the smart way to go!

Our terrier has now been on Pet Pantry food for 11 years! We recently needed guidance on the most appropriate choice for her as a senior dog. Pet Pantry was very helpful and generous in taking time to learn about her particular needs and providing samples before switching to something for her senior needs. It is a pleasure to work with a local company that consistently provides excellent service!

Love The Pet Pantry! It's really the best way to get your pets food. They have many great recipes to choose from and it gets delivered right to your door. They offer samples too, if you're not sure which recipe to try. I often put my order in first thing in the morning and my food is delivered same day. I have been a customer for many years and their service has always been impeccable.

5 stars! If only every business had service this good. Orders arrive at my door the next day. Thor and the staff are very friendly when I call. The quality of products I’ve ordered are excellent. I put my dog on the low fat for a while to get a few pounds off of her. When I switched to the regular food she actually preferred the taste of the low fat. I’m thinking of trying the cat food for my cat since my dog is not eat anything else. Highly recommend!

The Pet Pantry is fantastic. Our dogs love the Holistic Lamb and Rice and the very sweet milk bones that are left with each delivery. Delivery is easy and painless. The Pet Pantry has been very easy to deal with when we have needed to move or reschedule orders. We have used them for a year now. They have only made one delivery in error and we were quickly delivered the correct food and not charged for the open bag of kibble. They made it right with no fuss! I can’t recommend Pet Pantry highly enough. And our dogs love it so that is high praise as well.
We’re truly humbled by the trust and support our customers show us every day — your kind words and reviews mean the world to our entire Pet Pantry family.
