The Pets Table Vs Nom Nom (2026): Which Is Better?

Last Updated on June 1, 2026 by Kieran Beckles

Trying to decide between The Pets Table and Nom Nom? Both brands deliver fresh dog food to your door, but they take slightly different approaches. After testing both with my Klee Kai, I found some important differences in pricing, meal flexibility, convenience, and dog preference that could make one a much better fit for your household.

We returned to the United States in 2023 following five years in the UK, where we’d typically fed fresh dog food meals to our fussy Alaskan Klee Kai dogs Copper and Skye.

However, the first fresh dog food company we ever ordered from was Nom Nom (formerly Nom Nom Now) over seven years ago. They still offer fresh food, but their prices have crept up a lot over the years. Copper and Skye’s interest in Nom Nom has changed over the years.

Yasmin and I used to order from HelloFresh, so we were intrigued to learn that the company was launching a dog food subscription service called The Pets Table. I like their range of subscription plans and price points to cater to all pet owners.

I liked having the ability to combine fresh and air-dried food, because my Klee Kai like having different textures in their bowls.

Having tested and reviewed multiple fresh dog food companies over the past couple of years, I’ve tried both good and bad options for American dog owners. In this article, I will compare The Pets Table and Nom Nom to share which dog food brand represents the best choice.

The Pets Table Vs Nom Nom: Our Recommendation

Let’s get right down to business. My recommendation would be The Pets Table based on Copper and Skye’s preference.

It’s a tricky decision because The Pets Table offers a flexible dog food subscription service, and I was impressed with the depth of their range and the variety of subscription options.

My picky Alaskan Klee Kai dog Skye would prefer to eat The Pets Table ahead of Nom Nom, especially when I combined their fresh recipes with their air-dried food. This was a winning combination in my home.

Nom Nom’s dog food contains visible chunks of meat alongside fresh fruit and vegetables. The Pets Table’s meals looked less appetizing. But when The Pets Table fresh was combined with dry food, it was a big win.

If you’re ditching traditional pet food for a dog food subscription, The Pets Table is a good entry point. They’ve got four different plans and four different prices. It’s great because they cater to different budgets and the preferences of fussy dogs.

Seeing as Nom Nom only offers fresh dog food, you’re rather more limited in choice. That’s why The Pets Table is the superior choice from a dog owner’s perspective.

There’s a big price difference, either. The Pets Table costs $273.10 a month, while Nom Nom’s subscription came in at $291.76. So Nom Nom is slightly more expensive.

They’ve significantly raised their prices since I first tested their food back in 2017. Having said that, Nom Nom is available at pet stores, which is convenient for dog owners who don’t want to be tied into a subscription plan.

However, I’d recommend The Pets Table because, ultimately, I want dog food that Skye and Copper will consistently eat. They enjoyed the combination of the fresh and air dried.

The Pets Table

The Pets Table differs slightly from Nom Nom in that it offers fresh and air-dried dog food. You can decide to go fresh, dry or both! My dogs do like multiple textures.

Not only do they offer multiple pet food formats, but The Pets Table offers a fresh, air-dried, mixed and half-fresh subscriptions to cater to the different budgets of pet owners.

Since Nom Nom only offers fresh, let’s take a look at the fresh recipes from The Pets Table: Chicken Casserole with Green Beans, Beef Stew with Carrots, and Turkey Casserole with Broccoli. That’s three recipes compared to Nom Nom’s four.

If you’ve ever signed up for Hello Fresh, you’ll feel at home filling out The Pets Table’s questionnaire. I had to provide key details about Copper and Skye, select my pet food format and discover the cost of my subscription plan.

The Pets Table provides a portion guide on each meal packet, but it’s made redundant because the pouches are so skinny that it’s difficult to scoop out the right portion. The Farmer’s Dog does a superior job with the portion guidelines.

Copper and Skye weren’t huge fans of their fresh food, but my Klee Kai did enjoy their air-dried recipes. When I combined them together, I had a winning formula.

The Pets Table has a range of subscription plans and prices. The fresh plan is $273.10 a month, with The Farmer’s Dog only cheaper than The Pets Table.

Their air-dried plan is $193.20 a month, which comes in nearly $30 cheaper than Sundays, which is Copper and Skye’s favorite air-dried food.

You can also opt for a half fresh plan ($170 a month), and a mixed plan would cost me $239 a month.

Nom Nom

We first came across Nom Nom in 2018 during my first stint in California when the fresh dog food brand was a relatively new player in the pet food market.

Nom Nom offers only fresh dog food made with high-quality ingredients, formulated by veterinary nutritionists and customized to meet your pet’s specific needs.

They’ve created six different recipes – beef mash, chicken cuisine, pork potluck, turkey fare, turkey and chicken cookout, and lamb pilaf. It’s a good range if you’ve got a fussy eater, but I’d like to see two or three more to provide more variety.

I completed a questionnaire about my dogs as part of the sign-up process. However, I’m unsure to what degree the food was customized to meet each of my Klee Kai’s needs.

Of all the fresh dog food brands I’ve tried, Nom Nom’s pouches are among the easiest to open, and their food looks more appetizing than that of most competitors.

It requires a lot of freezer space. It’s not the easiest to stack in the fridge and freezer compared to other fresh dog food companies. But perhaps that’s because it’s more chunky.

Copper and Skye were hit and miss with Nom Nom in 2026, compared to their reaction back in 2017. My Klee Kai prefers The Farmer’s Dog ahead of Nom Nom.

Nom Nom have significantly increased their prices since our first time ordering from them nine years ago. It costs me $291 in 2026, but was only $150 in 2017.

You can find Nom Nom in your local pet stores, which might appeal if you don’t want to sign up to a subscription plan. But, of course, you won’t get a custom plan.

Wrapping Up

We’ve reached the end of my comparison article on Nom Nom and The Pets Table.

My pick would be The Pets Table based on my experience testing out their food on Copper and Skye.

The taste test was the key factor in my decision, as it’s especially important when I have a fussy eater like my female Alaskan Klee Kai.

The Pets Table is a more versatile dog food brand that offers both fresh and air-dried options, a combination my Klee Kai really loved.

Nom Nom is a decent choice if you want to pick up your food at the pet store rather than rely on a subscription plan.

My dogs preferred The Farmer’s Dog over Nom Nom and The Pets Table, but we currently feed a raw dog food brand and an air-dried dog food company.
