Frequently Asked Questions

General

What kind of food is Nala Fresh Dog Food?

Nala Fresh Dog Food is a complete and balanced food for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Our recipes only contain 100% fresh meat and veggies and are fortified with vitamins and minerals that your dog needs. We gently cook all meals, vacuum-pack, and blast-freeze them to preserve all the nutrients, vitamins, and quality of the ingredients we use.

What is fresh dog food?

Fresh means using only fresh ingredients and cooking the food in the kitchen. The ingredients are locally sourced, fresh meat and vegetables. No artificial ingredients like additives or preservatives are used. No unnecessary processing is done.

How were the recipes formulated?

Our recipes were developed in partnership with pet nutritionists from the UK and Canada who carefully crafted each recipe to provide complete and balanced nutrition for dogs. By combining the ideal mix of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fats, and moisture, every ingredient is purposefully selected to ensure your dog's meals are not only delicious but also support their overall health and well-being.

What are the benefits of feeding Nala Fresh Dog Food?

Fresh diet offers a lot of benefits based on science-backed research. The following are some of the benefits that you will observe once you transition your dog to a fresh diet:

1. Picky Eater Approved
2. Increased Immunity
3. Increased Energy
4. Stronger Muscles
5. 100% Happiness
6. Improved Digestion
7. Shinier Skin & Coat

Our Food

Where are the differences between the Chicken, Pork, and Beef Recipe?

Our Chicken recipe is lean and low in fat recommended for weight management, our Pork recipe is juicy and flavorful recommended for picky eaters, and our Beef recipe is protein-rich and aromatic recommended for muscle building.

Where are your recipes prepared?

All our recipes are prepared in an FDA-registered kitchen in Manila, Philippines.

How is Nala Fresh Dog Food different from kibbles or shelf-stable wet dog food?

Traditional dog food often relies on dehydrated ingredients, low-quality animal parts, high levels of carbohydrates, and high levels of preservatives. The production process typically involves high temperatures that can destroy essential nutrients, and the long shelf life means the food may be months old, resulting in less appealing flavors and aromas. In contrast, we only use fresh ingredients that undergo a gentle cooking process to preserve their nutrients.

Is this food suitable for all breeds of dogs?

Yes

What if my dog has allergens?

A fresh diet can help reduce allergens in dogs. We’re transparent about all our ingredients, including percentages and grams, on our product pages. Review the list to ensure it suits your dog. It’s best to consult your veterinarian if you’re unsure.

Do I need to cook the food?

No cooking required! All our recipes are pre-cooked in low temperatures, blast-frozen, vacuum-sealed, and delivered straight to your doorstep. Simply defrost the pack, serve it cold, at room temperature, or heat it in the microwave to enhance the flavor and aroma.

Is it safe for humans to eat your food?

Yes. All of our recipes are prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients in a human-grade kitchen.

How should I store Nala Fresh Dog Food food?

Unopened Packages: Freeze for up to 12 weeks or until the indicated expiration date.

Opened Packages: Transfer to an airtight container to keep fresh. Refrigerate and consume within 4 days; refreeze only once.

What is the shelf life of your products?

Our recipes remain safe in the freezer for up to 3 months or until the expiration date on the packaging. After thawing, the food will stay fresh in the refrigerator up to 4 days. If you have any doubts, give it a smell and discard it if it seems off.

How much food should my dog consume?

Every dog has unique needs based on their breed, size, age, weight, activity level, and more. An average Shitzu eats 200g per day or 1 pack of Nala. To check the portion size for your dog, take the quiz here.

Is this food suitable for all sizes of dogs?

Yes, only the amount of food varies. To check the portion size for your dog, take the quiz here.

Is this dog food recommended for dogs with specific health issues?

All our recipes contain complete and balanced nutrients; however, they are not intended as a solution for specific health issues, like gut, kidney, and other health problems. If your dog has any specific health issues, it’s always best to consult your veterinarian to find the right approach for their unique health needs.

How do I prepare the food?

Defrost the pack for at least 30 minutes. For a warm meal, soak it in warm water for 3-5 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds. Serve thawed if your dog prefers it cold.

 How do I serve the food?

Our recipes are pre-cooked. Serve warm, hot, or cold—whichever your dog prefers!

Is Nala formulated using AAFCO guidelines?

Yes. Nala is formulated using AAFCO guidelines, with key ingredients like protein, fats, and calcium exceeding the required levels. While some vitamins and minerals, such as phosphorus, chloride, and magnesium, are below the AAFCO guidelines, the formula is still considered complete and balanced to support your dog’s overall health and well-being.

How do I track my order?

Do I need to freeze the packs immediately after receiving my orders?

To maintain the food’s freshness, it's best to refrigerate or freeze the packs as soon as you receive them. If left at room temperature for over 8 hours, the packs should still feel cool to the touch. However, avoid exposing them to direct sunlight to prevent spoilage.

Why don’t you sell one-off orders?

We believe that a fresh food diet is a long-term commitment to your dog's health, not just a single meal. To ensure consistency and optimal nutrition, we offer our meals in convenient pack bundles. This approach allows your dog to gradually transition to a fresh diet and continuously benefit from our high-quality, balanced meals without the need for one-off purchases.

What is your product replacement policy?

Only the following cases will be eligible for a replacement:

1. Damaged Packaging
If your dog’s food arrives with damaged or leaking packaging that might affect its freshness or quality, we will replace it right away.

2. Wrong Item
If you receive an item that isn’t what you ordered, we will send you the correct one the next day (except Sundays).

3. Expired
We make sure all of our meals arrive fresh and well within their expiration dates. If you receive a product that is expired or too close to the expiration date (expiration days less than the number of packs you received), let us know, and we’ll send you a new batch.

4. Quality Concerns
We want every meal to meet your standards, so if there’s anything unusual—like an odd color, smell, or texture—just reach out, and we’ll happily replace it.

5. Missing Items
If anything is missing from your order, we’ll make it right and send you the missing product as quickly as we can.

Replacement Process
If you need a replacement, please send an email to hello@nala.com.ph. Our customer care team will review your request and determine eligibility. Be sure to include your order number, a brief description of the issue, and attach both a photo and a video (for example, if the packaging is damaged or the product appears defective). After receiving your request, we will promptly evaluate it. If your claim is approved, a replacement will be dispatched the next day (excluding Sundays; replacements will be sent on the following Monday). If the item is out of stock, we will provide either a similar product or a special voucher as an alternative.
