Great food.

When my girl was 6 months old she started not wanting to eat her kibble. She would take a bit and go lay down. At 8 months old she started having seizures. A lot of research and connecting gut health to seizures. I switched her to raw food. Now she is 3 1/2 and doing wonderful.

Hi Renee,

We're very sorry to hear that your order arrived with an open box and thawing product. This is not the experience we want for our customers. I see that you emailed customer service, and they are working with you on the damage to your box and replacing the food. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Good quality products, service call responded quickly and professionally.
Delivery’s are sometimes sketch, boxes blown out and dry ice completely melted so product has thawed 2x. Damaged boxes have caused leakage from fresh meats which nobody wants to deal with. But this is all delivery CO’s issues. Not Darwin’s.

Good results, but bad safety track record.

My dog actually did really well on this food after we tried a 20lb batch, and I had no issues with the food quality itself during our trial. However, after looking into their extensive history of FDA advisories, recalls, and ongoing legal/regulatory issues, I just don't feel comfortable taking the risk. While the food worked for us short-term, I won't be purchasing from them in the future due to safety concerns.

Two packages were thawed because the ice was gone by the time we received the box from Darwin’s. Some small packages still have blood permeation issues.

I love the product but I did get a package that had gone bad. It was damaged and air got in so it made it go bad. I didn’t notice till I thawed it in the fridge. It smelled really bad. For the high price, I expected the meat to be handled more carefully.

Hi Emilia,

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about our product. We're very sorry to hear that one of your packages was damaged, allowing air to enter and spoil the food before you discovered the issue during thawing.

Darwin's for life

I've been subscribing to Darwins since 2018 for my two Boxers. I've never had a problem and feel good knowing that I'm giving both of them the best food possible and they love me AND the food for it. I'd rather pay a little extra for their diet up front in order that they can stay healthy and to avoid any medical issues that may be caused by poor diet. i.e. kibble. And so far, after eight years of feeding them natural beef, and/or chicken, and/or turkey, it seems to be working.

Thank you for your loyalty and support, and please give your two Boxers some extra love from all of us at Darwin's!
