My dog loves this food. He likes the beef the best. . I usually get 10 medium frozen beef or pork packages. Been going here since they first opened. read more

Last night I bought myself a couple packages of this food. I have 3 frenchies ranging in ages 4-7 one of them throws up quite a bit after eating and this is the first time in years that he ate and did not throw up right afterwards after drinking water They have a lifetime new buyer. For $8 in Motown it will be two servings and that is really great for the pricing. I don't know if they deliver the gal that helped me yesterday was extremely helpful & I was able to have a package that was made fresh from the day for them to eat when I arrived home. The amount of ingredients inside the food is just so good read more

Reliable, high quality food for our pups. One of our dogs is struggling with cancer and skin/coat issues. Consistently feeding him Venison from here has improved his overall health and well being. Its like you can see it in his big smile and eyes! So glad we have a trusted premium dog food shop in Sac. Truly the best! read more

I've been a loyal customer here for a few years now. I have several dogs. My dogs love this food. Dinner time is full of excitement. I had a rescue who lived to be 22+ and I started him on Healthy Hounds a few years before he died and it made a noticeable difference his his overall health and well-being. I have few health problems with them and they all seem to grow into old age without incident. If you go into the store, it's meticulous, as clean as any restaurant around. The staff are friendly. The food may be pricey for some, but I'd suggest using their food in conjunction with kibble. I don't always have time or availability for my dogs but I feel at least it's partially made up for by feeding them this delicious and gourmet food that they love e so much. . read more

Easy to order, lots of choice so we found one the dogs like/will eat. The dogs are fussy eaters, Maltese mix and pug mix. Custom packaging sizes to fit meal servings. Staff is exceptionally nice and accommodating. They remember what you ordered and always ask if that's what is wanted. The big deal is that our dogs look healthier. We have 2 rescues, both had shaved spots post surgery. The fur did not grow back until we changed to Healthy Hounds. AND both dogs just seemed to settle into a healthy weight without struggle. I almost wish I could eat this, then maybe my weight would be stable too. In comparison to other fresh foods, Just food for dogs, Farmers Dog, Ollie, the cost is very competitive. This is a 5 star kitchen. Thanks to the whole staff! read more

Healthy Hounds Kitchen - This is a ribeye bone for a treat - Pet Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been feeding my dogs a fresh diet for about 2 years now and recently switched to healthy hounds from our previous subscription that was delivered monthly to our door from a processing facility in Reno. Healthy hounds definitely has superior quality, small and local, plus it's actually fresh, not frozen. I get 25 pound batches and split it between 2 recipes. When the food is ready they call to let me know it's available for pick up, but if I'm not able to pick up that day they gladly keep it in the fridge till I'm able to pick it up. The staff here are friendly and helpful. I always bring my dog with me and walk around Mckinney park before heading over to pick up their food. read more

We are on our first week of Isla's food, she's an 11 lb miniature dachshund, we just switched from farmer's dog. In a week she's nearly gone through an entire large bag, the cat is jealous and licks the dog spatula clean twice a day. I wish they made food for cats. read more

A life saver, literally for my dog with kidney failure. She would hardly eat until my daughter turned me on to this place. Well worth the cost and very helpful. read more

I have 6 dogs, 3 big ones and 3 small ones, and we wanted a healthier food; we discovered Healthy Hounds and have been so happy with the results we see in our dogs. The customer service is awesome, and they are so easy to work with. My dogs love the beef, chicken, pork and turkey. I purchase 25lbs of each so that they always have a different taste every day. Couldn't be happier. read more

We've been going to Healthy Hounds for several years, since our vet recommended them. Our two senior dogs have been so much healthier, and they love the food. Freshness and quality can't be beat! And did I mention the truly outstanding service? Every. Single. Time. If you're not buying from them, both you and your pups are missing out! read more

I passed by here because It's next to a cute a little bookshop. The place was empty so the service was good. The smell in the store was kind of strong when I walked in. The odor is hard to explain, but you do get used to it the longer you are in there. The dog print on the wall was adorable. I bought two small bags of food just to see if my dogs would like it. We tried the turkey and brown rice. my dogs loved it and one of my dogs is a picky eater. every time they eat now they Lick their bowl clean! I wish I had a location close to me. They do bulk orders which saves some money. overall I would come back if I was in the neighborhood. read more

Best fresh dog food in all of Sacramento! I love getting my dog food and treats from here because everything is made fresh and with quality ingredients. My dog is normally a picky eater, but when I add the foods from here into her meals she gobbles everything right up. The staff are super friendly too and love seeing customers bring their furry companions in. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Charming small shop in the McKinley Park area that sells gourmet frozen fresh dog food. It is not conveniently located for me and has a tiny parking lot, but was worth the trip. They have a good selection of choices. High quality ingredients and interesting recipes. Our dog loved the pork meal. It is much too expensive for this to be her main food, but works great as a topper for dry kibble. The gentleman who helped us was very friendly and knowledgeable. I will go back again. read more

I have a picky eater in my senior maltipoo. This food does the trick you go into and they will explain everything and even suggest ways to save money. read more

So excited I found Healthy Hounds Kitchen. I've had my 2 dogs on The Farmers Dog for a while but wanted to find a local fresh human grade place nearby and I stumbled across Healthy Hounds driving around so I had to pop in and see what was offered. Let's just say I am sold and will be regular customer. Customer service was spot on and the selection of food to pick from is excellent. I highly recommend stopping by you too I'm sure will become a regular customer for your furbabies. read more

I love Healthy Hounds; but more importantly my dog Lady loves it! I've been feeding Lady Healthy Hounds exclusively for 3 years and noticed a dramatic difference in her skin, coat and energy levels immediately. She loves both the beef/sweet potato and pork/quinoa recipes so we order them both in bulk. They're reasonably priced and even less expensive than national fresh dog food companies. I love that their local and the owners created the brand for their pups! Lady used to be picky about her kibble and wouldn't eat all of it but she licks her bowl clean. She also loves their pork, beef and chicken treats. read more

I cannot speak highly enough for Healthy Hounds. My dog was very picky when eating until we switched him over to Healthy Hounds. The staff is great, and they seem to enjoy working there. *Pro-tip. Find out the day of the week your dogs favorite food is made, and you don't have to defrost anything* read more

My dog has improved his health noticeably since on this. Pork and sushi are his favorites

Absolutely love this business! Great food quality, and customer service! I'd definitely reccomend this place :)

How does a dog food store have 5 stars on Yelp? Let's explore: 1) Customer Service off the charts. I did my research online before going in, so I had a lot of questions and the young man working behind the counter answered all of them. He appreciated my understanding of what I wanted and helped me understand which product was right for my dogs. We tried a few recipes and found our fit: Turkey! 2) You can smell the food / see them cooking it. Being able to feed my dogs a fresh healthy meal is invaluable to me. We had some gastric issues with one dog recently and needed to try some new options besides high-end kibble. 3) My dogs literally salivate for this product. It's great to see them eating good food and not having issues like vomiting or other gastric problems. We are doing the turkey and brown rice diet. I walk in with the box and they lose their minds. 4) Supporting a local business in town and having staff that seem to care about the customers and creating great experiences. Yes, it's kinda expensive. But if you buy the 25 lb, it comes in six 4 lb bags and you can freeze it to use as needed. read more

Great dog food. Our toy poodle definitely recommends and he's picky when it comes to food that doesn't upset his stomach

Very cute place and very friendly staff. They gave me some great samples my dog loved them will be back specially the snacks! Are perfect and very high rewards for treats. My only down side is the variety of the recipes and the carbohydrates included in each recipe as dogs don't need much at all! Will def be back for treats and occasional food feast read more

Healthy Hounds Kitchen - Calorie content - Pet Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

Been here a couple times now to pick up treats & food for my puppies. We've (meaning the dogs & I) tried the chicken & beef treats! Made with usda meats, they're safe for humans to eat, let alone dogs! Both my dogs LOVE the treats. Once they see/hear me opening the treat bag, they rush to me like they've been starving for a week! I love their dog food since each flavor is cooked fresh daily. I change up different flavors the last couple of times but I am definitely going to try them all out. I could tell my dogs love the texture because w/ dry food, they only eat when they're hungry. I think if I kept feeding them healthy hounds food, they'd eat until their stomachs exploded! My advice, get the bigger bag, such a better deal! ;) Thanks for bringing such high quality dog food to Sacramento, we definitely needed it! read more

We've been buying our first born, Buster, his food from Healthy Hounds since 2020. He's been happier and healthier ever since. Plus, the customer service is friendly, patient, and always helpful with tips. I can't recommend their food for your doggie more! read more

I've been coming here for about 4 months and I've seen dramatic changes in my black labs weight and coat. Buster has Addison's disease so he is on steroids. It was impossible for him to loose weight until we came here. I will always rep this store because we tried everything before we came here. I can't say enough about how much healthier Buster looks now. Amazing!! read more

I can safely say I've researched dog food more than the average person. As an animal behaviorist, I begin every consultation by discussing medical and nutritional factors. It's not that all behavior issues are directly caused by a sub-optimal diet, but problems will always be worse in an animal that doesn't feel well. I'm also the parent of a 13 year old Boston Terrier who had his gallbladder removed last year, making him prone to acute pancreatitis which is easily triggered if he eats the wrong thing. So choosing dog food is literally a life-and-death decision for us. As if that wasn't tricky enough, he's also on medication for Cushing's disease, which suppresses his appetite. So trust me when I say I've tried pretty much every Rx, commercial and home-cooked option to find a nutritionally safe diet that he will consistently eat. Healthy Hounds has been a godsend - the quality and consistency of the food itself is exceptional, the low-waste packaging is amazing (I can't even describe how smart it is), the price is comparable to other fresh/frozen/dehydrated brands, and their customer service is excellent, too. If there's a downside it's only that they don't ship or deliver, which means frequent trips to one of their two locations to pick up if you don't have a lot of freezer space (my awesome neighbors recently offered to let me use their freezer, so now I can buy in bulk and feed it to both of my dogs). However, it's pretty clear that staying local and focusing their effort on quality rather than rapid growth and logistics is what makes the product superior to all other brands. As much as I wish I could recommend them to clients who live outside the area, I'm so grateful they're committed to providing the best food possible for dogs here in Sacramento. read more

I just know my sister swears by the pet meals made by this very people and pet friendly shop. She won't go anywhere else. I especially like the fact that the products are made locally with quality ingredients. I go there with her on occasion and the people are wonderful. read more

Someone told me about Healthy Hounds after a discussion about my puppy and his distain for kibble. He will hunger strike for days because he doesn't want his food but wants anything that comes from the fridge. Getting him to eat is a chore - insert Healthy Hounds. Emailed them early in the day about general info and they got back to me super quickly! We went in after work and the store was super clean, big and bright. It's funny to be inside a business that has this huge kitchen that makes fresh dog food. Such a concept. Chris gave me two great suggestions for picky eaters and even had a fresh bag that was ready for eating tonight (normally batches are frozen and you have to thaw). Gave me all the info I needed in regards to serving size etc. Got home, put some in a bowl for Mr. Picky and I've never seen him eat so fast in my life. So happy we found them and can now give Benny what he wants, food from the fridge. read more

Healthy Hounds Kitchen - Pork and quinoa X beef & sweet potato recipe. - Pet Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

Very nice staff. However, why don't they make a carbohydrate free recipe??? I know potatoes are cheap but dogs do not need carbs especially that much! I hope the owner gets around to reading this and considers a carbohydrate free recipe. They'd so much better on sales and have happier healthier dogs read more

We love healthy hounds! Our shih tzu puppy dealt with stomach issues while eating kibble for several months, until we switched over to the lamb and rice formula at healthy hounds. Now, no issues and she loves eating it. A large bag lasts her about two weeks. Happy customers! read more

We bought a 5 cu. ft. freezer because we wanted to get 50 lbs. at a time and only had space for about 10 lbs. We even had to get an extra outlet installed in the garage just to accommodate the freezer. I think that says it all... Oh, and Tim is awesome and we're phone buddies when I call in to place an order but I wouldn't know him if I passed him on the street unless I heard him speak. read more

Healthy Hounds is a breath of fresh air. They make delicious dog food with fresh ingredients that are well balanced for dogs. And if you get here on the day that they make your particular flavor, you don't even have to buy the food frozen. I come on Mondays now because that's when the Beef and Sweet Potato is made fresh. There are two reasons that I buy from here. First, because my dog really likes the food. That's important to me. Second, I know exactly what ingredients are in the food and that gives me some peace of mind. Those dog dry food bags that you buy at the pet store could have anything in them. I won't go into graphic detail, but we've all heard the horror stories about what goes into dry food. I hope this place can continue to be in business for years to come. I know that specialty stores have difficulty surviving, especially in Sacramento for some reason. I don't know how many sneaker stores have come and gone from here in the last ten years. Anyway, if you live in the area and would like to feed your dog fresh food, please give this place a try. My dog loves it. read more
