Feeding Healthy Shouldn’t Be Complicated

With so many choices out there, it’s tough to know what’s best. At The Pet Pantry, we make it simple. We’ve helped thousands of dog parents over the years, so we know the questions that really matter when it comes to choosing the right food.
Is it truly healthy?
Yes. No by-products. No fillers. No artificial anything. Just clean, natural ingredients chosen for your dog’s long-term health.
Will it upset their stomach?
No. If your pup has food sensitivities or allergies, we’ve got gentle, limited-ingredient options that are easy on digestion. We add pre- and probiotics to help promote firm stools, fewer tummy issues, and a happier gut.
Is it right for their age and lifestyle?
Yes. From high-energy puppies to senior snugglers, we have recipes designed to support every stage of life—and specific health needs.
Is it affordable?
Yes. Premium natural-nutrition, made in and with ingredients from the USA, delivered free to your door—without the boutique markup.
Will they even eat it?
Absolutely! Our customers say the bowl gets licked clean every single time. With so many tasty flavors to choose from, your pet is sure to find a favorite.

Molly W.

I can’t say enough good things about The Pet Pantry! Whenever I have questions about which food is best for my dog, I always receive prompt, thoughtful responses. They’re happy to provide samples so I can try new foods before committing, which I love! The free delivery within the Triangle area is another fantastic perk. Huge thanks to Thor and the entire Pet Pantry team for their outstanding service and dedication to their customers!

Kevin G.

You're missing out if you are not shopping with The Pet Pantry. Because of their quality products, excellent customer service, and timely deliveries, I highly recommend The Pet Pantry. I'm a long-term customer and can't imagine using another service. I'm glad I "discovered" them.

Mikaela G.

I decided to try some samples from the Pet Pantry. I have NEVER seen my dogs scarf down food the way they did with this food! Once my current bag of dog food is done, I will definitely be a lifelong customer.

Debra F.

Such wonderful customer service! They answer the phones. They call you back. Deliveries are made fast to my front door. And my animals are very healthy from the Pet Pantry food. Such a great company! Highly recommend!

Ana G.

I love this store, every time I make an order we get the delivery by the next day. I also had problems with my dog's digestive system and when I called they were very informative of what I could do for my dog and that helped a lot!

F.A.Q.'s

Are The Pet Pantry’s foods safe and tested?
Yes! Every batch is slow-cooked in small quantities to preserve nutrients and is rigorously tested for safety and nutrition. We’re proud of our spotless recall record
Are there extra fees for delivery or tipping drivers?
Nope—never! At The Pet Pantry, delivery is always free within our service zone, and we don’t believe in hidden fees. Our drivers are part of our team, not third-party contractors, so tipping is not expected. The best “tip” you can give is a smile (or a happy tail wag from your pet)!
Can I get both dog and cat food samples?
Yes. If you have multiple pets, you can request dog and cat food samples in the same order, making it easy to find the right fit for your whole family of pets.
Can the people I refer get a free sample?
Absolutely! We love welcoming new pets into the Pet Pantry Pack with a taste test first. Your referral can request a free sample of Holistic Choice to make sure their furry friend licks the bowl clean before placing an order. It’s our way of making the introduction simple, fun, and risk-free.
Can The Pet Pantry help me choose the right food for my pet?
Absolutely. Whether your pet has allergies, weight issues, or is a picky eater, our team provides personalized recommendations to make sure every meal supports your pet’s health.
Do free samples include treats or just food?
Currently, free samples focus on our Holistic Choice dry food recipes, but we occasionally include treats or promotions. Keep an eye on our site for seasonal offers.
Do Holistic Choice recipes support long-term health better than mainstream foods?
Yes! Our small-batch, slow-cooked recipes lock in vital nutrients that support immune health, digestion, joint care, and long-term vitality. Unlike many mainstream foods that cut corners for cost efficiency, Holistic Choice ensures your pet gets the full benefits of real, nutrient-rich nutrition.
Do you deliver to apartments or gated communities?
Yes, we deliver to houses, apartments, and gated communities. Just provide delivery instructions (such as gate codes or preferred drop-off spots) at checkout to ensure smooth delivery.
Does Holistic Choice have a better recall record than national brands?
Yes! Holistic Choice has a spotless recall record—something we’re very proud of. Every batch is carefully tested before it reaches your door to guarantee safety and nutrition. Unlike big brands like Purina or Iams, which have faced multiple recalls, Holistic Choice gives you peace of mind and consistent, reliable quality in every bowl.

You can request free samples by filling out the form on our Free Samples page. Just provide your pet’s details, and we’ll deliver a customized sample pack right to your door.
How do I transition properly from one food to another?
To avoid digestive upset, it’s best to transition your pet’s food gradually over 5–7 days: Days 1–2: 75% old food, 25% new food, Days 3-4: 50% old food, 50% new food, Days 5-6: 25% old food, 75% new food, Day 7: 100% new food. Watch your pet’s stool and overall behavior during the transition. If you notice loose stools or tummy upset, slow the process down and give your pet more time to adjust.
How do pets respond to Holistic Choice compared to foods like Purina or Iams?
Pets on Holistic Choice often enjoy better digestion, shinier coats, healthier teeth and gums, and more energy. Many pet parents come to us after dealing with allergies, skin troubles, or picky eating from mass-market foods—and they quickly see the difference. A happier, healthier pet is what Holistic Choice is all about!

How is Holistic Choice pet food made?
Holistic Choice is made with care from start to finish. We start by selecting human-quality proteins, wholesome grains, and farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, all sourced in the USA. Each recipe is then slow-cooked in small batches at lower temperatures to preserve nutrients, flavor, and digestibility. Finally, every batch is tested for safety and quality before it ever reaches your pet’s bowl. This makes a nutrient-dense food that supports better digestion, a stronger immune system, shiny coats, and long-term vitality.
What ingredients are used in Holistic Choice recipes?
Holistic Choice recipes are made with the kind of ingredients you can feel good about: real, human-quality proteins, wholesome whole grains, nutritious fruits and vegetables, natural vitamins and minerals to support balanced, complete nutrition. You’ll never find by-products, fillers, corn, wheat, soy, GMOs, or artificial preservatives in our foods. Just clean, USA-sourced goodness crafted in small batches to help your pet thrive with better digestion, shinier coats, and more energy.
