I'm making the switch from high-quality kibble to high-quality fresh dog food so I decided to have a little fun getting my dogs in on the decision as to which diet to try.
I'm making this switch due to research, continuing education, and conversations with nutrition experts over the past several months while collecting information for my UA-cam Nutrition series. I also chose Nom Nom specifically due to the team that formulated their diets, the quality of the ingredients, and - their customer service is on point, (always a bonus)!

High-quality nutrition means a longer, healthier, happier life for my dogs and I'm all about that!
Did you know that diet is linked to behavior? The gut is "off", (whether due to nutritional deficits or the microbiome being in dysbiosis) can cause behavioral shifts in your dog as well. Some fun reading on that: www.ncbi.nlm.n...

My favorite part about switching my dogs to Nom Nom is that Boada Bear no longer has horrible gas 🤢 seriously - he could clear the whole house with it before! He's been on multiple diets through his life and we are finally free of the funk! 🥳 If you didn't see it yet - be sure to check out the interview I did with two of the Nom Nom team members on the gut microbiome here: ua-cam.com/video/KRa_9NydsW0/v-deo.html
I have been feeding our now 10-year old poodle-bichon mix Nom Nom for about 6 months now. The changes are dramatic. More energy, better movements, and seemingly all-around happiness. She is nuts for her meals now, and often, she is thinking about them while we walk before dinner. I sometimes have to coax her into taking a longer walk than she wants simply because she knows it's dinner time. She daily eats two 110g bags - one in the morning and one in evening. This was the Nom Nom recommended diet. Her favs are beef mash and chicken chow. BTW, including tax, each meal is less than 3 dollars. I would highly recommend Nom Nom to anyone wanting to try a fresh food diet for their dogs.
I have a 3 month old pug and I want to make sure he eats good to prevent health problems, thank you so much for this video!!!! ❤️
You are very welcome! Pugs are so much fun 😊
I'm not sure if you can tell much from this test because the dogs had a little trouble accessing the food due to the small bowls and slippery floors. Also, how hungry were the dogs? Glad to hear you did notice that they needed a mat that grips the floor! I use a rubber mat and it works well. Definitely some bigger bowls that are more suitable for large dogs would be kinder.
Hey there! I use silicone mats under the bowls and elevated puzzle bowls now for their actual meals 😊 The small bowls were just for taste testing. I believe this was in between their regular meals when we filmed it.
This was super helpful 😊 I’ve been using nom nom for a couple months and I like it a lot, but I’ve been wanting to see what other folks (preferably animal specialists like you) thought of it. I reassuring that you like it as well.
Hi Joanna - so glad that you found it helpful! I really do like their food (my dogs enthusiastically agree) as well as their jerky and probiotics. Great team all around!
Check out pet food advisor they give great reviews on dog food and even tells you what each ingredient does to your dog. They have harmful ingredients highlighted in red and they explain the long term affects
Your dog is so well behaved. Might try Nom Nom for my lil Frenchie. Love your channel btw, just subscribed! :D
Thanks for subbing! Frenchies are so much fun ☺️ I bet your pup would LOVE Nom Nom. Keep me posted and let me know if you try them out. You can also get 50% off a trial to test it out with this link: trynom.com/saraO
Thanks again and feel free to drop a comment about what types of videos you would find helpful with your pup!
I have a shih tzu that’s 9 months. I first fed him only Stella and chewys raw line and then his stomach got sensitive and only can process cooked dog food. I found nomnom and he’s just as healthy.
I'm so glad that your pup is enjoying it as well! Raw can be rough for some dogs - I'm a big fan of fresh cooked meals 😊
My dog eats Ollie and he loves it only food we have been able to buy consistently without stomach issues
Thank you for the testing. I just received my trial today.
Glad the video helped. Please update the community after a few weeks to let us know what differences you may notice in your dogs - both physically and mentally.
Not sure if you'll see this since it's an older video, how do you feel about a raw diet? Thanks love the videos, recently discovered your channel.
What if we just want to buy whenever we want, we mix our dogs food up and don't want a prescription. A subscription indicates they just want to hook you in and want your money.
Not always. For people like me who often forget to buy dog food in a timely manner (before I run out) a subscription makes my life so much easier because I don't have to remember to buy it and I don't have to waste my time driving to the store to pick it up. I don't like subscriptions that can't be changed or contract you in. Subscriptions like Nom Nom, Just Food for Dogs, and even Honest Kitchen don't contract you in and you can changed your meals, your subscription, or cancel at any time without any issues. It's good to be cautious with subscriptions but the three I mentioned here I trust and have never had any issue with. They've taken one less thing off of my to-do list!
this video was great! question: how did you train Blue Ivy? she's so well behaved.
Hi James - thanks so much 😊 Blue Ivy is motivated by food and by people so initially she was trained using those motivators with clear communication and consistency. Like any of the dogs I work with, I had to learn her personality to help navigate training as well. For example, she has a moderate prey drive and can elevate in arousal quickly, but then settles back down quickly. All good things to know and apply in training 😊
@@SaraOndrako thank you so much for your reply! I'm getting my first puppy on the 20th so I'm definitely going to need all the help I can get with training!
Wonderful! Puppies are a ton of work but they are so much fun! I do offer a virtual Start Your Puppy Off Right consultation if you need any assistance in getting started in the right direction when you bring your puppy home. You can book direct through my site at saraondrako.com. A good video to get started with to help too is this one on teaching the top 8 cues for a well behaved dog: ua-cam.com/video/7h2jAorpM1c/v-deo.html
Very excited for your new family addition! Happy training 😊
How did u warm up the food? did u let it thaw out? microwave? dip the bags in hot water?
Hi! I let it slowly thaw in the fridge. I pull a week’s worth of food out at a time and keep the rest frozen. If you want to warm it for your pup, I’d do the hot water bowl trick - the microwave may break the proteins down more.
Why do the ingredients need to be cooked separately to qualify as “human grade” ?
That's a great question and one for AAFCO www.aafco.org/ - I'm not sure why cooking the ingredients separately is what actually constitutes the human grade label, however, it most likely has something to do with the fact that in order to reach maximum nutritional availability, different ingredients have to be prepared at different temperatures (otherwise they lose nutritional value if overcooked or undercooked). Since the nutritional value is of importance for human consumption paired with having to meet a certain standard of quality of the ingredients, my best educated guess is those two factors equate to labeling the food as human grade.
I have the same kind of dog and we are starting this journey for better food. Did u guys settle on this company?
Hi Dennis! Yes we did. I now feed the Turkey diet to both my senior pit and my younger pit - they love it! I love the fact that my older dog’s horrible gas is gone ;) I did look into other fresh foods while trying to find the right fit for my dogs but none of the foods I looked into were as transparent with their ingredients, their process, and who was on their team actually formulating the food. Nom Nom has an impressive team and they are big into research which I love. If you decide you want to try them out, you can use this link for 50% off a trial: HTTP://trynom.com/sarao Keep me posted on what you go with and how your dog does on it! If you want to check it out, I did interview the microbiologist and head of bioinformatics over at Nom Nom - that video is on my channel too 😊
@@SaraOndrako I will definitely check that out. Ty for the info!! Also looking into home cooked meals....
Anytime 😊 If you do decide to do home cooked meals, make sure you get your formulas from a board certified veterinary nutritionist or at least a vet who specializes in nutrition and can put a formula together to meet all of your dogs needs with the right supplements. Homemade can be fun too! Just be sure to stay away from Dr. Google and Mrs. Havacamp on social media for recipes on the homemade stuff! 😋
Your dogs are beautiful and so well trained 😁❤️
Thank you so much! 🥰
Why is it not available in European countries??
Hi Vladimir! I've inquired about shipping internationally but unfortunately, they simply aren't set up for that just yet. It's difficult to keep the food frozen for the amount of time it takes to ship internationally and it's important that the food arrives fresh. I'm hopeful that they will expand to other countries in the near future!
hello Sara, i was looking into getting this brand.
but i was wondering how did you partner with them to send you these samples?
Hi there! I would definitely recommend this food as an excellent option if you are looking for fresh food for your dog or cat. I was researching various foods and comparing diets (raw, fresh, various kibble) and Nom Nom was one of the companies I reached out to to interview and gather data on their diets. They ended up sending these samples during that time for me to see in-person and try with my personal dogs. After this interview on the microbiome (you can watch that here: ua-cam.com/video/KRa_9NydsW0/v-deo.html) and doing a full trial with my own dogs I ended up switching to Nom Nom from a high quality kibble and now I purchase their food for my two pups every other week. If you want to try all of the diets with your dog or cat, they will send you a variety with ordering a food trial if you request it, or, you can ask to do a trial with just one diet. Here is a link for 50% a trial if you end up wanting to test it out: trynom.com/saraO. Best!
My cat won’t touch the food or treats from nom
Not available in Canada and not available in store!
Hi CL - You are correct, unfortunately they are not yet available in Canada. I actually emailed them to see if there was a plan in place to ship to Canada (and Hawaii and Alaska) and they told me they will let me know as soon as they are able. I don't believe this food will actually ever be available in stores simply because it is formulated specifically for each dog. The recipe is the same, however, they portion each individual meal based on your dog's age, health, weight, and other factors that determine their portion size. This is definitely a better direct to consumer model because it's so individualized. Thanks for watching!
How much would they advise a Rottweiler to eat.
Hi Doozie - great question but unfortunately I can't answer that one. I'd recommend shooting them a message through their contact form here: support.nomnomnow.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
They are wonderfully responsive (great customer service) and they can tell you what their recommendations would be. Let me know how your Rottie likes it ☺️
very obedient dog!
Thanks! I've worked hard with this one 😊
Looks like The bowle is litte to small, this is a dog but eats with The tongue? 😂wider bowl will allow the dog to open the mouth wider
It’s just for tasting. Think tappas for dogs 😉
I have a cat and have been using Nom nom since the beginning. But I’m very disappointed I received a very cryptic letter from them saying they’re dropping their fish but they couldn’t tell me why. They were replacing the fish but they have no idea what with. And they’re changing the recipe on the chicken. I was very disappointed with this company and I will be leaving
Hi David - I'm so sorry to hear of your experience. I've not had the same since switching both of my dogs over to their turkey diet. Their customer service team has been responsive and courteous any time that I've had questions and my dogs absolutely love all of their food. They have a padded team of experts from their board certified veterinary nutritionist to their microbiologist and my guess is that there was an issue that could compromise the health of pets such as high levels of mercury in fish supply or perhaps they were able to formulate an even more nutritious meal based on their own research / studies. It's hard to say why the changes without talking to the team but I'm guessing they had good reason. Whatever the case may be, I would definitely encourage you to let the team know about your experience. Their customer service email address is orders@nomnomnow.com. Is your kitty a picky eater? What are you going to try next?
00:45...Thats what they all say.
I'm not in that "all" category 😉 I didn't get paid for this video and was not an affiliate when I made it. That's the difference between the "all", the "influencer" and the legitimate professional. I can sympathize with your concerns for sure - it's hard to determine anymore what people are saying because they are getting paid to say it, and what recommendations and genuine recommendations. I hear you for sure.
When is the last time you seen a wolf, a coyote or a fox eating vegetable's, and yes they eat it all from nose to tail. Hint, and including dogs there about 98% carnivore.
They’re actually omnivores from a nutrition perspective. Domesticated dogs, unlike wolves, have evolved to be able to extract nutrient rich materials form carbohydrates, including vegetables 😊 it’s a common misconception that domesticated dogs are simply tamed wolves. They’ve come quite a long way since the divergence of a common ancestor
Dang it and here I blind bought the pork
All of their recipes are great - no worries! Also - my older dog Cosette is now on the Pork diet because it's lower protein for her failing kidneys and she absolutely loves it! Have you tried their chicken or beef jerky yet?
@@SaraOndrako I have tried the beef and my havanese likes it but seems to gravitate toward the pork and turkey
My dog hated it.
😆 I find that pretty unlikely. I do see that you are a kitty person - they make kitty food in chicken and fish too! I bet your feline friends would be super happy with Nom Nom's fresh cuisine 😻
@@SaraOndrako my dog hates it too! My dog, is extremely picky. I have to wash her bowl, else she won’t eat form it fresh water from water mill, I offered her baked turkey for thanksgiving and she didn’t like it because it was cold only when I warmed it up. 😭😂 She only likes extremely fresh ingredients, I made boiled chicken from Walmart and she didn’t like it I had to buy from organic farmer then she liked it....you have no idea how picky and spoiled some pooches are!
mine too. lol
Lol this food is trash, my dogs were eating farmers dog and I decided to try nom nom. My dogs were running 🏃♂️ from this food. Lol so I brought it out another day they were running again. They wouldn't touch it
Just because your picky dogs won’t eat it doesn’t mean the food itself is trash. It’s very well formulated. Balanced nutrition is more important than palatability but most dogs find it very highly palatable. My kids like to eat Oreos at every meal instead of Broccoli but just like I choose what’s best to fuel their body as their parent, they aren’t getting the Oreos for dinner and my dogs are going to get what I know is good for their brain & body.
@@SaraOndrako well I wasted my money because all 3 of my dogs ran from it and they usually eat anything. I was upset but I had to laugh the way they ran. The one dog that did forcefully ate a mouthful got sick. The package was mostly potatoes
