No — Dog & Whistle meals are gently cooked, not raw. We use low-temperature cooking methods that preserve the natural nutrients and integrity of our human-grade ingredients while eliminating harmful bacteria. You get all the benefits of a whole-food diet without the risks associated with raw feeding.
We source our ingredients from trusted, human-grade suppliers. A key part of our mission is using upcycled ingredients — high-quality food byproducts that are perfectly nutritious but would otherwise go to waste. This approach lets us provide premium nutrition for your pet while actively reducing food waste and supporting a more sustainable food system.
Upcycled ingredients are high-quality food byproducts that would typically be discarded despite being perfectly suitable for consumption. By incorporating these ingredients into our recipes, we create nutritious meals for your pet while helping to reduce food waste. This approach conserves natural resources, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and contributes to a more sustainable and circular food system — one meal at a time.
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Dog & Whistle. We are Nevada's first carbon-neutral pet wellness company, and we back that up through our use of upcycled, human-grade ingredients, in-house production, and a commitment to minimizing our environmental paw-print. From sourcing to packaging, every decision we make is guided by our responsibility to both your pet and the planet.
We prepare all of our meals in a human-grade kitchen right here in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our production safety standards match those of human food manufacturing — because we believe your pet deserves nothing less. Unlike most pet food companies that outsource their manufacturing, Dog & Whistle produces everything in-house. That means we control every step of the process, from ingredient selection to the final seal on the pouch.
Because we never add artificial preservatives, our meals have a naturally limited shelf life — and that's a good thing. We vacuum seal every pouch to lock in freshness. Here's what you need to know:
Frozen: Up to 3 months
Refrigerated: Up to 2 days
We recommend storing pouches in the freezer and transferring them to the fridge the night before serving. Fresh, simple, and exactly the way nature intended.
Most pet parents notice positive changes within the first few weeks of switching. Here's what you might see:
Increased enthusiasm at mealtime — dogs tend to get genuinely excited about real food
A shinier, healthier coat
Improved digestion and less bloating
Better dental health
Smaller, less odorous stools — this is completely normal! Because Dog & Whistle contains no fillers, your dog's body is actually digesting and absorbing a much higher percentage of the food than before.
Every dog is different, but the response we hear most often is: "My dog absolutely loves it."
