Shipping & Delivery Policy on our Gently Cooked Recipes

Please read the following regarding our policy:

- Our food ships frozen in our compostable, insulated boxes that have been tested to withstand 6 days in transport with our 18, 20, 32lb food shipments and 4 days in transport for our 4 & 5lb food shipments. We also add in cooler packs or dry ice when necessary.

- Food packs do NOT need to be frozen when they arrive. If you have some food that has thawed or some that are cool, they are perfectly safe to serve to your pet. You can refreeze your packages if necessary.

- It is your responsibility to email customer service within 8 hours of delivery if the delivery has damaged perishables. 

- We ship our food ONLY on Monday and Tuesday depending on your location. We try our best to make sure our food does not sit over the weekend in a UPS or FedEx warehouse and arrives before the weekend. UPS and FedEx does not deliver on Sundays.

- Subscription orders on our frozen food will always process and charge to your account on Wednesday's and ship the following Monday or Tuesday. This is to ensure your pets food arrives in a timely manner. You will receive a email to notify you 3 days prior that your subscription is due to process. Please make any adjustments before Wednesday. If you reschedule your order to process on Monday, this shipment will not ship until the following week. Please make sure you keep the Wednesday cut off date.

- We cannot guarantee your pets food will be shipped the same day it is ordered. We try our best to accommodate, but cannot always ship the same day you order. 

- Please refrigerate immediately upon opening your delivery.
