The Pets Table Review (2026): Pros, Cons & Is It Worth It
Key points
- Best for: Dog owners who want the flexibility to combine fresh and air-dried in one dog food subscription.
- Our experience: We first tested The Pets Table when they launched in 2023 and have retested it every year since with Skye and Copper.
- Biggest positive: The Mixed Plan gives you fresh and air-dried food together, appealing to dogs like mine who prefer different textures in their bowl.
- Biggest downside: The fresh plan is expensive, and the portion guide is tricky to use on the meal pouches.
- Our price: Our Mixed Plan cost around $239 a month for my two Alaskan Klee Kai.
Are you thinking about signing up for The Pets Table, but you want to know the pros and cons before buying? We ordered a mixed plan (air-dried and fresh) for our Klee Kai to test the ingredients, subscription and overall value.
Quick verdict
The Pets Table is great if you’re looking for flexibility in terms of pet food formats and price. You get the convenience of air-dried food and the flavor appeal of fresh food at a lower price. It gave Copper and Skye different textures to enjoy in their bowl, although Skye was more consistent with their air-dried food than fresh food.
I’ll be sharing my insights into The Pets Table based on my experience ordering from this relatively new dog food brand, the brainchild of the popular meal service provider HelloFresh.
I first ordered from The Pets Table when they launched in 2023, but I’ve retested every year since to stay updated on their recipe offerings, including 2026.
The Pets Table is a versatile dog food company that offers fresh and air-dried dog food, provides pre-portioned guidelines, and provides a seamless sign-up experience.
However, they provide a premium service at a premium price, so it’s more expensive than traditional dog food. We had a mixed experience feeding it to our Alaskan Klee Kai.

The Pets Table: Pros
Three pet food formats
The Pets Table offers three pet food formats: fresh, air-dried dog food and EasyFresh.
I consider this a great feature because it caters to pet owners who may prefer dry dog food over fresh-frozen meals, which can take up freezer space.
Alternatively, you can combine air-dried and fresh to keep fussy eaters satisfied with different textures. This approach worked well with Skye and Copper.
Recipe range
At the time of writing, The Pets Table offers five fresh food recipes, three air-dried recipes, and two EasyFresh. That’s a total of 10 recipes.
If you’ve got a fussy eater like my female Klee Kai dog Skye, then you’ll appreciate a varied range.
They’ve got beef stew with carrots, chicken casserole with green beans, and turkey casserole with broccoli in their fresh range. You can choose between beef and berries or chicken and sweet potato for their air-dried food.
Copper and Skye were particularly big fans of the beef stew and carrots in the fresh range.
In 2026, The Pets Table also launched its new EasyFresh range, designed to combine some of the benefits of fresh food with the convenience of dry. I’ll be testing that separately, so stay tuned for a full EasyFresh review.
Four different plans
From a dog owner’s perspective, I liked that The Pets Table give pet parents four options when selecting a meal plan.
The Pets Table or Ollie?
We share our verdict here.
You can choose between full-fresh, air-dried, mixed, or half-fresh. So they cater to different budgets and preferences.
I believe this is a really user-friendly way to structure their subscription plans as a dog owner who is conscious of budget.
It suited me because Copper and Skye love air-dried and fresh dog food. They could enjoy the best of both worlds.
Affordable (sort of)
The Pets Table is affordable – provided you order the air-dried food.
For instance, my price to feed Copper and Skye their air-dried dog food was $193.20 a month or $6.44 a day.
That’s still more expensive than Sundays For Dogs, who charged me $220 a month. UnKibble is even cheaper at $164.40 a month.
If I opted for a mixed plan, the price would be $3.98 a day per dog or $239 a month.
I don’t consider that too bad, given that a brand such as Ollie charge $220 for its dog food subscription.
The Pets Table Cons
Hit and miss with Klee Kai
The Pets Table was hit-and-miss with my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs.
Copper is more food motivated, so he ate most of his meals throughout the month testing their food.
When I first tested their fresh dog food in 2023, Skye wouldn’t consistently finish her meals. We had better success when we retested their fresh recipes in 2026, with Skye showing noticeably more interest in their fresh recipes.
However, both my Klee Kai dogs liked their air-dried food.
Portion guidelines could work better
While it was commendable that The Pets Table attempted to place portion guidelines on each fresh frozen meal pouch, they were entirely ineffective.
The lines weren’t spaced properly, and the meal pouch was so skinny that it made it impossible to follow the guide. I’ve only seen The Farmer’s Dog do this well, so it’s a pity.
Fresh plan is expensive
You can find some affordable options if you’re looking to sign up for The Pets Table, but their fresh plan is pricey.
I had to pay $9.12 a day or $273.60 a month for the fresh plan. That’s significantly more expensive than The Farmer’s Dog.
Even if I opted for their “half fresh plan”, my monthly cost would be $182.40.
However, it’s cheaper than Nom Nom and Ollie. I paid $310 for Ollie and even more for NomNom.
The Pets Table or Ollie?
Here's our verdict.
Is The Pets Table Worth It?
It comes down to cost and my Klee Kai’s preferences.
The Pets Table provides an efficient and versatile service to cater to pet owners irrespective of their dog’s preferences.
You can order air-dried, mixed plan, fresh plan or half fresh plan. I appreciated having so many options.
However, it’s expensive. It’s one of the more expensive dog food brands that I’ve reviewed.
As I highlighted above, their air-dried dog food is more expensive than Sundays and UnKibble.
Their fresh food costs more than The Farmer’s Dog and Ollie.
Skye did enjoy The Pets Table’s fresh food meals more than previous times we tested them. So I was encouraged to see her tuck into the food. Copper liked their range.
Overall, The Pets Table is worth it if you like the idea of combining multiple pet food formats in a subsciption plan.
