No. Even though Emma Lou’s uses the absolute best quality animal protein with no added hormones, we don’t believe that animal protein should ever be fed raw. Produce even if certified organic can never compare to the quality of meat of the animal a canine would naturally catch in the wild. However, a lot of our veggies in our recipes are steam cooked such as our green beans, broccoli, etc. We also include completely raw ingredients such as flax seed powder, parsley and apple, etc.
Our Faqs
FAQ
What customers are asking:
Which Formula is best for my dog?
Send us an email with your dog's age, ideal weight, energy level (low, average or high) as well as any health issues or allergies your dog might has. We will email you back with a recommendation.
Please note: Our four main formulas are all pretty much the same except for the protein itself so we strongly recommend giving your dog a mix of our formulas. Studies have shown that dogs that eat a variety of protein are healthier.
What are some of the ailments and issues your food has helped alleviate?
Our customers have reported improvement in dogs with Anxiety, Weight Problems, Mucous and Slobber, Snoring, Dehydration, Fatigue, Coarse Coat, Tear Stains, Digestive Issues, Coprophagia, Excessive Shedding, Tumors, Flatulence and more.
I cook chicken and rice for my dog, isn't that enough?
No. While cooked chicken and rice is better for them than commercial dog food, it is not a balanced diet. Our food meets and exceeds the AAFCO nutritional profile for dogs which is essential to their health.
Who cooks the food?
Our trusted team of cooks who are also Servsafe certified food handlers.
My dog has weight issues, can your food help?
Yes. Our food, unlike a lot of commercial dog food, has an exact caloric count which means you can monitor your dogs caloric intake exactly.
Why is there a minimum amount for ordering?
We ship with dry ice and ship in insulated boxes which is extremely costly, so we ask that our customers order a minimum of 12 packets per order.
How much should I feed my dog?
Is your food made in an USDA inspected kitchen?

Order Information:
When will I recieve my order?
All orders leave our kitchen on Mondays and Tuesdays as long as they’re placed by Saturday at 6pm . If received after that, they will go out the following week. This is because we have to order our dry ice for that week by a certain time.
You will receive a tracking number on Monday or Tuesday with an estimated arrival date of your order. Feel free to email us with any questions or concerns.
Our shipments arrive 1-3 days after they're shipped.
Where do you ship to?
We ship within the contiguous U.S.
How does the food arrive and what should I do with it?
What is your refund policy?
The food was a little defrosted or thawed when it arrived, is it safe for my dog to eat?
Our insulated coolers keep the temperature inside below 40 degrees at all times so even if part of the packet is starting to defrost, it will still be held at 40 or below thus ensuring that the food is not growing any bacteria. The packets are also safe to refreeze.
Please note: If your delivery is many days delayed, check the inside of the cooler box to be sure its cold. If it isn't, please contact us immediately at info@emmalouskitchen.com
