The Pets Table Pros And Cons

Last Updated on December 17, 2024 by Kieran Beckles

Are you thinking about signing up for The Pets Table, but you want to know the pros and cons of their dog food subscription before buying?

I’ll be sharing my insights into The Pets Table based on my experience ordering from this relatively new dog food brand, which is the brainchild of the popular meal service provider Hello Fresh.

In this article, I’ll be sharing my pros and cons after testing their air-dried dog food and fresh dog food on my fussy Alaskan Klee Kai dogs Copper and Skye.

The Pets Table: Pros

Two pet food formats

The Pets Table offers two different pet food formats: fresh dog food and air-dried dog food. This is great because it caters to pet owners who may prefer to stick with dry dog food rather than 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 my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs.

Recipe range

At the time of writing, The Pets Table offers three fresh food recipes and two air-dried recipes. That’s a total of five 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.

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. You can decide between full-fresh, air-dried, mixed or half of fresh. So they cater to different budgets and preferences.

Affordable (sort of)

The Pets Table is affordable – provided you order the air-dried food. For instance, a pet owner with a 25lb dog would end up paying $1.59 a meal or $95.40 a month for air-dried food. If they opted for a mixed plan, the price would be $4.80 a day or $144 a month.

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. However, Skye is fussy and she didn’t really like their fresh food range. She’d frequently leave half her food or refuse it completely. 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 out and the meal pouch was so skinny that it made it impossible to adhere to 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. The pet owner with the 25lb dog would have to cough up $162 a month. That’s significantly more expensive than The Farmer’s Dog. However, it’s more or less on a par with Nom Nom and Ollie. I paid $219.60 for Ollie, just $2 more than The Pets Table.

My Conclusion

We’ve reached the end of my article looking at the pros and cons of The Pets Table’s dog food subscription service.

If I were to sign up for The Pets Table, I’d consider their air-dried food, which Copper and Skye liked, while I felt it was affordable compared to other similar services like Sundays.

However, I’d give their fresh meals a pass because my Klee Kai dogs weren’t fans, and I didn’t like the portion guide. I felt it was overpriced when compared to The Farmer’s Dog.
