I spent a lot of time making my dogs...

I spent a lot of time making my dogs food. This was fine I loved it. My dog became ill with an autoimmune disease. At this point the food I had been making for my dog no longer worked. The Doctor knew what was happening and recommended a diet for him. He is healthy and happy again, for the most part, but I have no doubt Chi Dog food helped save his life. Thank you so very much!

I bought all the other fresh pet foods..

I bought all the other fresh pet foods on the market. I never saw my dog more excited over Chi Dog brand at feeding time. I really think I found the best one on the market. My Maltese, Angelina is my whole world and I am so happy that she's excited at feeding time instead of her sniffing her bowl and walking away. THANK YOU CHI! You are different than the rest and my picky dog is all the proof I needed to know that we finally found the freshes best food out there.

Not one crumb left behind!

Our little Luna the Chihuahua licks her bowl clean! I truly believe she is eating way more nutrients compared to her previous diet.

They will explain and HELP you with your concerns for your pet.

If you accidentally order the wrong food for your pet they will promptly correct it for you, without a hassle. Not very many companies will do that for their customers.

The company was great at handling the order, shipping and delivery on time. Unfortunately my dog couldn’t/wouldn’t eat the food as he is extremely sensitive and picky. They were very understanding and refunded my purchase. I was very hopeful that the food was good to be my salvation. However, the food was donated to another family with an older dog, that benefited greatly, since it helped immensely with his inflammation and he loved it.

My dog loves this food

My dog loves this food! I’ve tried several fresh dog food deliveries and this is the one that looks most like real food. Plus, if I put one scoop of each in a bowl she’ll choose to eat chidog first. Hers is the turkey because she needs a cooling diet, which is why I started. She is much less grouchy now I’ve noticed too. Definitely recommend and considering transitioning my other dog.

    Frequently asked questions

    Have questions? We’re here to help.
    We should all eat clean foods. This means unprocessed high quality real food. A Whole Food Diet of human grade quality is far more healthy than kibble (hard dog food) or canned food. A Whole Food Eastern Medicine based diet goes farther to increase health and prevent disease. All living beings are unique and prone to specific problems. Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine’s Five Elements theory categorizes the personality traits and disease tendencies of us and our pets. Think of your Element as your Eastern Medicine genetic profile. Eating based on our Element helps to support us as individuals and keep us balanced (less prone to disease).
    Yes. Our recipes were formulated, by Dr. Susan Bohrer, based an Traditional Eastern Medicine concept of clean eating to prevent disease. We worked with Dr. Edward Moser, an experienced veterinary nutritionist, to balance our diets to meet and exceed AAFCO’s standards for all life stages, including the growth of large breed puppies. This means Chi Dog can be fed to all dogs, even growing puppies who will reach a mature weight of over 70 pounds.
    Whole foods are real foods. When you read an ingredient on a package, you should be able to see it in the food. Chi Dog uses human grade ingredients that we would eat, not feed grade ingredients as in kibble and canned dog foods. When our labels read beets, carrots, and peas, you can see, feel, and smell these ingredients in the food.
    Dog’s wild cousin’s diet of raw meat may be better than kibble if it is not processed. Eastern Medicine finds benefit in cooking. Lightly cooked fresh whole food ingredients are better to nourish. This is especially true for our sick, old, and young pets; any animal who is a little delicate. Raw meat may be fine if you are a young adult and have a lot Of “Qi” (pronounced Chi) to digest your food. If you want to feed more gently, lightly cooked whole foods are ideal. Just as we would give a baby apple sauce and an old person soup, cooking the food brings some energy into the food to help them digest. Eastern Medicine recognizes raw foods as appropriate for very healthy and strong patients but not good for a weaker patient. It is completely appropriate to supplement a Chi Dog diet with raw vegetable in our young to middle aged, disease free companions.
    No. We have supplemented our diets with Vitamin E (tocopherol) to help maintain the freshness of our diet and support your dog’s coat, healing and circulatory system.
    Carbohydrates are essential to living beings and can be found in grains and plants. They are an excellent source of stored energy in our dog’s diets. Processed carbohydrates, which are in most if not all kibble (dry dog food) recipes, are poor sources of nutrition. While carbohydrates from whole foods, as found in Chi Dog diets, are excellent sources of energy. As any healthy person knows, a fresh pasta and veggie salad is healthy, while processed mac-n-cheese in a box is not
    No one knows your dog better than you. If there is an ingredient which you feel is a problem for your dog, you can try another Element Diet based on ingredients you know are right for your dog. You are also welcome to reach out to Dr. Bohrer via our Contact Us form with your concerns and we will find the best food for your dog. Regarding allergies in general, Eastern Medicine would advise that an ingredient in a clean, unprocessed and whole food form may not bother your dog in the same way that it did in the processed, pro-inflammatory dog kibble (dry dog food) or canned food
    Our eco-friendly shipping boxes are lined with Green Cell Foam and packed with enough dry ice to ensure that your pet's meals; stay cool until midnight of your delivery day. If your pet’s meals arrive after this time frame or they are partially thawed, the meals are still safe to consume as long as the food is cool to the touch.
