Here's exactly where the money goes
Making dog food this way is slower and costlier than standard manufacturing. We'd rather explain the price than lower the standard.
Over 12 lbs of real food per bag
Real meat, whole produce and healthy grains, pressed down into every 4.5 lb bag. Every ingredient is in there for a reason.
Cold-pressed at 3x lower temperatures
Gentle pressing preserves more of the nutrients and natural flavor that high-heat cooking can lose. Your dog can smell the difference.
Gut health in every bite
A pre-, pro- and postbiotic blend is baked into every recipe, because about 70% of your dog's immune system lives in the gut.
Expertly formulated
Every recipe is built by an expert pet nutritionist and meets AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, puppies to large breeds.
Expensive on the shelf. Obvious in your dog.
What owners tell us they notice after the switch.
What does it actually cost per day?
Nextrition is nutrient-dense, so you feed up to 30% less than traditional kibble. A bag that looks expensive on the shelf stretches further in the bowl.

Real quotes from verified Nextrition reviews. Ask the dogs if it's worth it.
"No matter how hard I try to hide it she'll pick almost every nugget without touching her other food."
"Not only does he like it, it actually helped him get firm poops. He hasn't been gassy or had any stomach issues."
"My bestest boy is almost 16 and has gotten picky in the last year. I have tried lots of premium freeze dried. All of them he ate for a short while and then rejected. Not Nextrition."
"I have a dog boarding and rescue. So far ALL 30 dogs eat it and I have some picky eaters."
Have a question? Check out our F.A.Q.
Why does Nextrition cost more than the food I buy now?
Because more goes into it. Over 12 lbs of real meat, produce and grains are cold-pressed into every 4.5 lb bag, and the gentle low-heat process that preserves those nutrients is slower and costlier than standard manufacturing.
You also feed up to 30% less of it than kibble, so the gap per bowl is smaller than the gap on the shelf.
What does it actually cost per day for my dog?
It depends on your dog. Use the calculator above: enter their weight, age, activity and body shape and it shows cups per day, days per bag and the daily cost. Larger bags and Subscribe & Save bring the per-day price down further.
What if my dog is picky and won't eat it?
Most picky dogs come around fast, because cold pressing keeps the natural flavor in the food. Two tricks help: add warm water to make a gravy, or start by using it as a topper on their current food.
And if you'd rather not commit to a full bag, start with the $9.99 trial pack and let your dog vote first.
Either way, you're covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
How do I switch from our current food?
Gradually, over about a week. Start with Nextrition as a topper or mixed in at about 25%, and increase it a little each day. Slow transitions are easier on your dog's stomach, whatever food you're switching between.
How does the subscription work?
You save 10% to 17% depending on bag size, USA shipping is free on every order, and your first order includes a free measuring cup and a custom feeding plan. You pick the delivery schedule, and you can pause, change or cancel anytime.
