I was introduced to realdogbox by my dog trainer and my dog Skye has enjoyed her dinners so much more ever since I added the various air dried animal meats to her kibble. I recommend following realdogbox on Instagram because you get to see some behind the scenes on how they make their treats and chews. Not only that, you'll learn a thing or two about dog food in general. I have a picky eater and I haven't gotten a treat or furry chew that my dog hasn't liked. They're also good at responding to questions/issues you might have. I had an issue where my referral credits disappeared but they resolved it within a couple days of my reporting it. Subscribe to Real Dog Box and you won't regret it! read more

My pup loves her Real Dog Box , she knows when I open it that it's her treats. So far she loves all of it. The nice thing about real Dog Box is , you can get the smaller puppy size box until your pup is big enough for the larger size treats. Everything in the box is packaged for freshness and there is a card in with the treat explaining what it is. If your dog doesn't like something in the box they will work with you to switch it up with a different treat that your dog does like. Very good value. read more

AMAZING!!!!! I am a veterinarian and I believe the best nutrition is the best investment we can make for our pets. I feed raw to my dogs and they are thriving. I've seen and heard countless stories of the significant changes it does for them. I took the CPCN course and it really helped boost my confidence in helping others. I found it challenging to source some organs locally, but it was easily solved with ordering the air-fried version with RDB. Highly recommend!! read more

I have been thrilled with my Real Dog Box subscription. I am a vet tech and trainer, and I advocate for including as much whole food as possible in a dog's balanced diet. I also recommend daily chews for dogs as part of their welfare. RDB provides excellent quality choices, and having variety in my dog's chews and treats provides both nutritional balance and enrichment. read more

Initially found this company a year prior but didn't sign up until last month. My MAIN reason for sourcing a only chew box was for my 65 lbs dogs teeth. Her teeth are slightly concave and build up plaque rather quickly. After one month of constant chews her teeth look great! Had an issue with one treat and reached out to their team. What amazing service! They provided me with a multitude of ways to get my dog to interact with a treat. Very happy with the chew box, super chew add on and the secret shop! read more

I attended the Feed Real Institute's DIY workshop on January 13, 2024, with Kay Stewart. I wanted to learn more on how to make the Ancestry 6X Prey diet. Kay was very informative and was glad to answer all questions. She gave me the confidence that I could prepare well-balanced fresh food meals for my Cavalier King Charles puppy. How to make substitutions, requirements for my puppy, and how to convert freeze-dried raw ingredients was extremely helpful! My puppy, Izzy loves her food, especially crunching the raw bones. You can also buy many good treats/parts of meals from them also, such as liver. Thanks Kay! read more

i have a 18month GSD malinois and have had RBD for more than half a year now. its a great company with more than adequate transparency about their treats and chews. its $40 a box a month for their treats and chews package. (smaller packs are $21 or $23 for treats only) they air dry things like liver, salmon, pig ears and many more natural treats. they recently went through an isolated incident where a customer had 2 dogs (30ish pounds each) who were fed A WHOLE TURKEY WING EACH , 1 of which DIGESTED IT FULLY. one did not and had problems that resulted in her having to take one of her dogs to the emergency vet and came out with a $1.6K bill. she was unhappy and reached out to RBD about asking them to pull wings off the box selection. RBD replied to which she did not like reply and hence, came an onslaught of unfounded attacks at the company. RBD posted a timeline of all correspondence and everything that happened since then (incl CANCEL CULTURE). LINK TO READ MORE https://real.dog/toxic-cancel-culture/ the recent and bad reviews about canceling boxes are because of this. this review is not to dissuade or persuade anyone from joining or canceling RBD. However, it is to inform. RBD is a great company. its value are what i appreciate . they inform in channels that are relevant and social. they tell us what they plan to do after theyve done their brainstorming and strategizing. but all companies (big and small) make mistakes. they are 5 years old. they dont just show the bad, they dont delete comments to appear ethical. they do what at they believe at their core is right, and i agree with them. no gimmick or ploy here. just letting you know that they are a GOOD company. they provide good financial value in their subscription boxes and also great training values for my dog. all in all, i still recommend this company and their products after their ordeal. read more

Prompt delivery of very high quality real dog food treats. i feed my dogs mostly freeze-dried or dehydrated raw meat treats. The package size is perfect for a 22 pound and 12 pound dog. Both dogs gave the kidney treat we opened first a thorough sniff test, and then chomped down. The smaller dog tends to "inhale" her food in as few bites as possible. I was pleasantly surprised that unlike similar treats from other brands' she ate them in small enough bites that she didn't cough/choke like she often does. We will definitely be using Real Dog treats in the future. I also like the ability to subscribe and get them at intervals that make sense for us. read more

LOOOOVE. I subscribed to Barkbox a while back, and quickly realized all of the horrible ingredients they use in their treats (my poor dog was throwing up from them). And gave up on dog subscription boxes, until I heard about Real Dog Box! Simply can't say enough good things about them. My dogs LOVE their chews, and treats. I'm so grateful that they source great ingredients, and don't use any horrible preservatives. We need more companies like this one! read more

I hesitated a little before ordering this box, since I don't know much about feeding bones and meats to my dog. But once I saw a few people receive their orders, I jumped right on it! Delivery was very quick and I was able to text the number to make sure the person who referred me received their free treat - and the response was almost instant. Only down side to the company, is the login process - it's a bit annoying to have to get verification each time I login instead of using a password. But anyways, my pups chew box included: Chicken Feet (his new favorite), Beef Trachea, Pig Skin, Pork Kidney(extra treat for using referral link) and Bull Pizzle (super chew add on). All have been great so far, especially the chicken feet, Otis is obsessed with it! Glad I finally purchased the box! I'm a little anxious of what Otis will be receive next since I'm a bit skittish lol. read more

I am so grateful to have found Real Dog. High quality treats that are healthy and great for your dog. I tried out their first box and got 50% off. Now I'm hooked and will continue their monthly subscription for my dog. Nothing is processed, no chemicals, no nothing. They're all air dried treats that your dog will love! It's even customizable, if you want more chews or if your dog has allergies etc. They opened my eyes to raw feeding, which I transitioned my dog too, and you should too. Now he's excited for his meal and eats everything! I love what Real Dog does and I HIGHLY recommend them!! read more

Tried a sample box but did it did not specify what would be included. Some of these items are just entirely risky to feed dogs. If you don't like, or they are bad, etc, they don't do prepaid labels to help customers and retain some level of trust - but whats worse is that I sent back an entirely unopened and unused box , it was rejected after following their instructions, I had to purchase return postage on my own, it was delivered and they still claim they didn't receive it after weeks. Now I have no product, no refund, and paid for postage all for nothing. Take note of their 'cancel culture posts' to try and defend gray area matters and appear to try to skirt the customer each chance they can. read more

Absolutely love this company. My dog eats a completely raw diet. From meals, to treats. Finding treats has been a chore given all the fillers companies put in, or having them be extremely expensive. Why should what's good for my pet cost so freaking much!? Real Dog Box is SO affordable and gives my boy variety. Most of all it provides my boy with high nutritionally valued things to make him happier and healthier. Highly recommend! I've told everyone out of my pup's litter and our breeder to try and they're all beginning to hope on board! read more

I LOVED their certification program and all the educational resources. If you are considering feeding raw but afraid to take that leap and think it is so scary and daunting, TAKE THIS COURSE! When we did the workshop at the end, it made me realize how easy it can actually be. read more

They are amazing! communication is so fast and helpful. We started to look for natural ways to help our dogs teeth, this is our first dog that we have had issues with tartar build up so when we found the chews and saw the success photos we figured we would give them a try. We bought the chews box and our boy loved them and we started to see small changes with his teeth after the first box. We have now moved to the treats and chews box and are excited to see his teeth to improve. So far we are loving everything and everyone! read more

We are relatively new to RDB but so far, we LOVE it. I don't usually do subscription boxes but this seemed like such a great deal, plus such a great thing to have for my pup. My dog has LOVED so many of the chews. I appreciate the support that RDB offers. They always give specific feeding instructions, offer to answer any questions, and seem super available and helpful. This is so unique for a dog food business these days. We can't wait for our boxes to come, and they always seem to come just as we have run out from the previous box. My dog is happy and healthy! read more

I live in NYC and for months have been looking for quality raw food for my furkid. It's surprisingly hard to pull off. Without going through too much detail, I've tried Amazon (uncertain quality that differs from brand to brand, many products with very few reviews, packages too large to just try), farmer's markets (messy raw, seasonal availability, limited types and quantities), and pet stores (have not actually come across any that stock quality raw my dog will touch). I was ecstatic to come across RealPetFood on Instagram. Essentially a Barkbox for dehydrated raw dog food. Instead of accumulating a pile of toys my dog will never get around to using - or a bunch of junk food treats, this lets her try diff cuts of raw meat/offal in small doses. Some of the features I was impressed with: Human grade food - I can smell the difference right away - most processed dog food smells not that great. Not messy! I throw the bags in the fridge/freezer and use as treats as needed. Compared to wet raw, easy to break off tiny pieces, and no blood. Nice variety - the first month had pollack, lean pork meat, chicken feet, turkey liver, pig ear, lamb esophagus. Great to try obscure things without having to buy a whole bag. Cards that explain each type of meat - not really necessary but nice touch. Can specify any meat allergies - they will substitute Ability to do every two months - pretty useful, as I learned from past experience with Barkbox Super responsive customer service - pretty much instant reply to text or messages. Overall, really happy with the service. I think it's a great idea that actually is a sustainable model (as opposed to Barkbox...). I want to eat well. So why shouldn't my dog eat well too? Thanks to RealPetFoods for making it a little easier. read more

Always ready to buy any item for my fluffy child, I was ready to sign on when someone described Real Dog Box. But since he gets everything under the sun, most of it proves a miss and ends up in the trash. The appeal is the Chews that work away at nasty plaque. My little guy has crooked, twisted, gross teeth. So I was skeptical and hoped RDB would tide him over until the inevitable, soil-crushing dental visit. A year later, the difference is shocking. His dominant chewing side is better than I've ever seen, all sparkly white. The other side is better, with the exception of his twisty fang. RDB is a real game-changer. My dog knows the box when it arrives, he loves them (the creepier the better) and I like how they are sorted by toughness. The toughest ones are a good distraction when you need your dog happy and silent. I appreciate that RDB was still working through COVID, everyone has been a pleasure to work with and RDB will always be a part of my household. Thanks Real Dog Box read more

I sat on the fence 6 months before signing up and my only regret is I waited so long. At the time my dogs had allergies. I was doing raw and learning how to home cooked because they couldn't handle raw. I saw my holistic vet we got the girls rash free and I was hyperfocused on making sure they would stay that way. Anyway I'm so glad I signed up. Treats are single ingredient so with an allergic dog it was really easy to control what she ate and it turns out .... nothing in the boxes cause her allergies probably because they are unprocessed and air dried treats so there isn't any other "stuff" that might trigger her allergies. The best part is the chews - they help keep my dog's teeth clean. Vet always asks if my girls brush their teeth and I said nope- just the chews. Thank you real dog box you guys rock. read more

I adore Real Dog Box. I really like that you can TEXT instead of call. I ended up moving, and although I changed my address, the system didn't update correctly, so my box ended up at my old address, which I no longer had access to. A quick message was all that was needed for them to right their system for next time and send me a new box. I stand with Real Dog Box over this whole cancel culture thing. When I lived in the Northern states, I fed my dog whole prey; deer was a staple. Even raw bones can splinter or create shards. There will always be a risk, regardless of what you feed. Knowing your dog is key and realizing accidents happen. My dog once ate a raw turkey neck (NOT FROM RDB) after eating quite a bit of bone already the day prior. Know what happened? He threw up bone shards! Why? Because it was too much bone! What did I do? I cleaned it up and noted that two heavy bone days in a row were not ideal for my dog. I know a raw feeding friend who had her dog swallow a huge chunk of cow femur off a whole leg. Her dogs pick the meat off, maybe gnaw the hoof for a bit, but once the meat is pretty much gone, she tosses the leg. This lady has raw fed for 20 years! How that happened, we still aren't entirely sure. In her years, she'd never had a cow femur break. The dog ended up with a bowel obstruction due to it, and it had to be surgically removed--freak accident. I tell you all of this in hopes you realize that what RDB offers is a good product, but you also have to use common sense and know your dog. Don't go feeding a bunch of these chews with bone the same day; your dog is probably going to throw up shards of bone. The same is possible if you also give a heavy bone treat two days in a row. Every dog is different; take it slow if you don't know! I know that since all of that went down over the turkey wing, they are changing some things, and I believe they are making an effort to try to please everyone, which is not an easy feat. My dog recently passed away, and I emailed them to let them know that I canceled my subscription because I no longer had a dog due to his passing, not due to the cancel culture. I wanted them to know that when I got a new dog, I would absolutely be back. They refunded the box they had just sent me, something I didn't expect with the email I sent. I ended up donating the box to a rescue group. read more

Starting this off by saying I rarely do subscriptions. I tend to balk at anything that increases my monthly cost. However, I also enjoy giving my dog quality food and treats without the mess of keeping raw and home cooked foods cold, or the difficulty of finding dog store treats without a half dozen extra ingredients. Real dog box offers convenient storage by air drying their treats. They offer variety in their boxes and the secret shop. They are a small business local to California who goes the extra mile for their customers. Not only this, but they go the extra mile for other small businesses through their local stamp cards. They are EXTREMELY responsive, respectful and helpful in their customer service. When I tried to pause my account, I took too long to do so. My account was charged anyways. I reached out to them through email and they promptly replied and offered either a refund or a credit to my account. On another day I emailed them asking to make a one time order. They provided me with a list and pricing of each item. I listed off what I would like, and they put in the order on my behalf. Very easy to work with. Most of all, for the quality they offer they have competitive prices that simply cannot be beaten. I recently received a discount for another air dried company. I made my one-off purchase while tired after work, using their large discount. For the amount I spent on this other company (including the discount) I purchased 6 items (one of which was really one item cut into three pieces). For that same amount I could have purchased 9 items from Real Dog Box AND each item would have had a larger quantity per bag. While I'm still annoyed I didn't do the math then, it has reinforced that Real Dog Box is the way to go. Quality products. Quality service. Small business and an unbeatable price. Why look anywhere else? The subscription is worth it. read more

I absolutely love this subscription, I love how natural and healthy the treats and chews are for my pup! And also how open the company is through their social media in sharing information on their process and sourcing of ingredients! There is a lot of information on nutrition that comes with each box, and they make great treats from all sorts of ingredients that you can't find anywhere else. Also the idea of making this a monthly subscription ensures that they don't need to add any preservatives, and that everything is freshly made (literally your dog's treats were prepared no more than 1-2 months ago) that would normally be used to lengthen the shelf life of this product in stores. After getting this subscription, I stopped buying (and feeding) treats from both big brands and unknown brands (there were so many horror stories from the documentary Pet fooled about dogs dying, and how several companies used the same source for all of their treats under the guise of different "labels"), b/c I couldn't trust how many chemicals were in there, where they were being sourced, etc. Also through this company's Instagram I was highly encouraged to start researching on how to feed my pup raw, which is complimented by these treats. :) You honestly cannot get any healthier than this for your beloved dog! Here are my individual input from the treats I received in my Feb 2020 box: (Seafood) Green Lipped Mussels - our FAVORITE, they smell so strong & fresh that we even tried it ourselves, and our pup loves them. Also the anti-inflammatory effects were a godsend, our dog was just recovering from colitis at the time. (Organ) Beef liver & Pork kidney - my pup loves these, but they look the same haha so it was kind of disappointing compared to the mussels. Also that they're in flat/hard pieces I was kind of afraid I was giving him shards to swallow which would cause him to choke. (Muscle) Pork loin - so easy to break off, the texture is great! Doesn't really have a smell to it :) (Light Chew) steer pizzle - I think these are great, kind of like bully sticks though, just skinnier. Our pup devoured these so fast haha, and they're quite smelly! (Medium Chew) Pig skin - unfortunately, my least favorite. These are really oily. Not too smelly but after handling, my hands would be covered in grease and I have carpet which sucks. My dog did enjoy one, but after having the trachea he started refusing these. I guess they're not as tasty so I'll probably have to give these away or toss them. (Heavy chew) Beef trachea - first time feeding our pup some trachea! Again, it was oily (not as much as the pig skin) but our pup loveess this. He's able to soften it as he chews and break off bits and pieces to enjoy, I can tell it's mentally stimulating for him. Honestly I love these way more than giving him bully sticks or yak cheese. read more

WOW, WOW, WOW! I have been studying canine nutrition for nearly 10 years now and by lightyears, the Professional Canine Nutrition Certification course by Feed Real Institute takes the cake (and eats it too)!!! F.R.I. has set the bar HIGH with their excellent course breakdown, immensity of detail, fantastic visual aids, and endless buffet of research, studies, and peer review journals. Additionally, F.R.I. offers a monthly subscription (which I love!) to help members stay up to date with the most current research on all things canine nutrition. If you are a veterinarian, canine professional, or simply have a love for caring for your pup's wellness, I cannot recommend this course enough! My canine behavior and nutrition clients have benefited so much as a result, and so will you and the four legged furry ones in your life!" read more

Cancelled after two months. My dog is not a picky eater, but he didn't like the super chew or heavy chew. The chicken hearts were greasy and too fatty, had to wash my fingers after every treat. The rockfish is impossible to break, so I had to give him the whole piece. Ended up giving away/trash half of last month's box. The only good treat out 10 plus was the duck head. Lastly, customer service was mediocre. Not worth the cost or time, rather get a dehydrator and make our own. read more

As a raw feeder, it means a lot to me to offer single ingredient treats to my dogs. The problem is, they aren't always easy to find and I always worry about additives and preservatives from bigger companies that market their products to pet supply stores. Enter Real Pet Food, whose name I saw floating around Instagram as a new company offering dehydrated raw treats in a monthly subscription box. Now, my pack has tried several other subscription boxes and ended up cancelling after a bit because I have a couple picky eaters and it wasn't worth it for us. So I still dragged my feet ordering from Real Pet Food but after seeing so many satisfied customers on IG and seeing that their pre-launch promotion was nearing an end, I decided to go for it. The ease of cancellation if I didn't like it was actually a big part of what made me say yes to Real Pet Food. But lo and behold, when the box came in the mail, my dogs literally tried to tear it open. We have used about half of the treats and chews so far, and everything (and I mean everything!) has been a smashing success, even with my picky eaters. I can feel good knowing that RPF is a small company that takes particular care of their products, and the fact that they sell direct to their customers eases my mind as well. Thank you Real Pet Food for turning the treat industry upside down and providing us with a fantastic option for our raw-fed pups. read more

Be forewarned if you "pause" your subscription you will still be charged the $17 membership fee. Certainly wasn't clear and seemed like a bit of a deceptive practice. I was told by the rep that was because I was still getting my "Gold Membership benefits". I asked what that was and was told: "The Gold Membership includes free shipping on all orders including one time and Secret Shop orders, early access and notifications for Secret Shop drops, nutrition consultations, and access to premium content on our feedreal page!" Doesn't seem worthy of $17/month to me particularly when I'm not placing any orders!! read more

I've been wanting to find a subscription box that was worth the price, and that wouldn't charge me all at once, and I'm happy to say I finally found one! Although it's treats only, and for the price, it's definitely reasonable and we know what we're putting in our pups bodies. Shipping was super quick for me, and I couldn't be happier with it! What other subscription box company do you know of that texts you when you have questions instead of waiting for a response!? This was my first package, and I love it. My pup loves everything inside and they even made treats for me! I like how they also give a variety of treats. Buying high quality treats are definitely not cheap, but for what you get in the box, is so worth it. You can also text them a date when you want your next box shipped, and you won't be charged until then. :) I love it! I'm gonna be a lifelong customer for sure. read more
