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 order products for multiple pets in one delivery?
Absolutely. You can shop across categories—dogs, cats, and other animals—and check out with a single order.
Do you offer subscriptions for pet food?
Yes. Our flexible subscription service ensures you never run out of your pet’s favorite food. You can set your own schedule and pause, change, or cancel anytime. If you need any assistance making changes please give us a call or email, we will gladly help you.
How do I know which recipe is best for my pet?
Each of our recipes is formulated by small-animal nutritionists and veterinarians to support different life stages, breed sizes, and health needs. If you’re unsure which recipe is right, just reach out to us. Our team loves helping pet parents find the paw-fect match for their furry family members
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 does the free delivery work?
It’s simple! Place your order online, email or by phone, and we’ll deliver it straight to your door—fast and free, if you are located in the delivery zone. No hidden fees, no tipping, no subscription required. For more information, please visit our delivery zones page to discover in which zone you are.
How does The Pet Pantry’s delivery service compare to ordering from Chewy, Amazon, or Farmer’s Dog?
Unlike the big-box retailers, The Pet Pantry offers free, same-day local delivery across the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) on orders placed by 9 a.m and serves approximately 12,000 square miles of North Carolina with our own trucks. Plus, our flexible subscription options, exceptional customer service, competitive pricing all come with no hidden fees—giving you the convenience of Chewy or Farmer’s Dog, from a local business.
How does The Pet Pantry’s Holistic Choice compare to national brands like Iams, Purina, or Farmer’s Dog?
Holistic Choice recipes are crafted with only human-quality, USA-sourced ingredients—and you’ll never find by-products, fillers, corn, wheat, soy, or GMOs in the bowl. Unlike many big-name brands that cut corners with lower-cost ingredients and mass production, we take the slow, thoughtful route. Every batch is handcrafted in small quantities and slow-cooked at lower temperatures to lock in nutrients. The result? Superior digestibility, better nutrition, and real, noticeable improvements in your pet’s health and happiness.
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.
How many cups of food are in a 20 lb. bag?
There are approximately 80 cups of food in a 20 lb. bag. This will vary slightly depending on the kibble size.
Is your packaging BPA-free?
Yes. All Holistic Choice products are BPA-free.
Should I change my pet’s food occasionally to keep them from getting bored?
Change can be healthy—in moderation. Switching foods too often can lead to picky eating habits and upset tummies. If you’d like to change your pet’s food, we recommend waiting at least 3 months between switches and choosing recipes that aren’t drastically different to reduce the chance of digestive upset. The good news? Most of our Holistic Choice recipes are multi-protein blends, so your pet gets natural variety in every bowl—no constant rotation needed.
Should I add vitamins or other supplements on top of their daily food?
For normally healthy pets a supplement/vitamin is not necessary when feeding Holistic Choice foods. If your pet has a specific health issue that needs to be addressed, supplements/vitamins may be a good option to consider. Always consult with your pet's veterinarian for more information on supplements and vitamins.
The Pet Pantry vs Chewy and Amazon: Why buy local instead?
Chewy and Amazon carry lots of options, but they don’t focus on personalized nutrition. Holistic Choice comes straight from The Pet Pantry, your local NC company known for award-winning service and free same-day delivery in the Triangle. Unlike the big anonymous retailers, we offer custom food recommendations and a 100% satisfaction guarantee—because your pet deserves more than just a box at the door.
What human foods are safe to add to my dog’s food?
Some fresh, whole foods can be a healthy addition to your dog’s diet in moderation. Safe options include: Lean proteins like plain cooked chicken, turkey, or salmon (no seasoning, bones, or skin). Vegetables such as carrots, green beans, pumpkin, or broccoli. Fruits like blueberries, apple slices (without seeds), or bananas. Plain grains like rice or oatmeal (cooked and unseasoned). Healthy extras such as a spoonful of plain pumpkin purée or plain yogurt (no added sugar or artificial sweeteners).
What makes Holistic Choice different from other pet foods?
Holistic Choice is our own exclusive brand, handcrafted in small batches and slow-cooked at low temperatures right here in the USA. We use only human-grade ingredients with no by-products, fillers, GMOs, or artificial additives—just real, wholesome nutrition you can feel good about. Pets thrive on our recipes, and their humans love the noticeable difference in energy, digestion, skin, coat and overall vitality
What makes slow-cooking at lower temperatures better?
Slow-cooking at lower temperatures helps preserve the natural nutrients, flavors, and integrity of each ingredient. Unlike high-heat methods that can break down proteins and vitamins, our gentle process locks in nutrition so your pet gets the full benefits of wholesome, real-food ingredients. It also enhances digestibility and taste, making every meal both healthier and more enjoyable for your pet.
