Why Choose Lucky & Friends
All the nutritional value of fresh food without all the packaging and hassle
Besides creating a great-tasting dog food that gives your buddy the best nutrition possible, we also strive to reduce our carbon footprint with Earth-friendly packaging.
Unlike fresh dog food subscriptions that package each meal individually (filling up your trash can AND your fridge!), Lucky & Friends is freeze-dried has a 3 year shelf life, requires no refrigeration and arrives in convenient monthly shipments (plus, our bag is resealable – score!).
Food safety - quality ingredients safe for your furry friends
Our facility is USDA-inspected, FDA-regulated, & SQF food safety-certified
Because Lucky & Friends is made in a USDA facility, all the food safety guidelines and processes associated with the USDA are incorporated into our product.
Our manufacturing is not outsourced - it's all done by us
Most brands are made in an unregulated facility or worst yet most subcontract out their manufacturing to a 3rd party. We are held to very high food-safety standards and can supervise the process at every step.
Lightly cooked proteins to guarantee there is no salmonella or deadly bacteria
All proteins are lightly cooked to 165 degrees as you would do at home. According to the USDA this is the ONLY way to guarantee your fur baby's food is safe from harmful bacteria.
Affordability - in-house manufacturing passes on the savings
Many dog food companies outsource the freeze-drying of their products to us. However, it comes at a cost. Our firm along with other companies charges a fairly high premium for these services – and these expenses are passed on to you, the buyer.
On the flip side, because we aren’t paying anyone else to freeze-dry our own products, we aren’t spending extra. This means we can keep our prices affordable. Plus, you aren’t paying a premium for shipping fresh products that need temperature-controlled trucks.
Lucky’s is made in our own facilities, cutting out the middle man and passing the savings on to you.
No salt or preservatives
Lucky’s is 100% gluten-free, with no preservatives, no grains, no binders, no fillers, no rice, no nutriceuticals/supplements, or other fake “natural” ingredients. Just pure goodness that your dog will love!
No heavy processing
Other brands talk about vets and nutrition experts but in the end, all you see is kibble (made from who-knows-what) with a few peas and carrots. With Lucky’s, you can see the nutrition.
Low carbon footprint
You won’t pay for premium temperature-controlled shipping every week, or be tasked with recycling huge numbers of bags each month. Just 1 monthly shipment of shelf-stable pet food.
