I brought home my first dog a few weeks ago, and within days, I was completely smitten with her. I'd do anything for her — and I have to say, I finally understand the appeal of a pet food delivery service.

Finding the right meal delivery services for your dog or cat can be challenging, to say the least, as there are so many options to choose from and so many opinions on the "best way" to optimize the ingredients, nutrition, and vitamins and minerals for both cats and dogs. Do you choose grain-free dog food, homemade dog food, raw dog food or plain old dry dog food? If you're struggling to find pet food that fits your fur baby's needs (or if you're just sick of driving back and forth to the pet store every week), you might be interested in one of these options for pet food delivery services, which bring fresh, healthy meals right to your door.

                                      Gary Gerard Otten/Spot and Tango                  

If you're all about farm-to-table food and the health and well-being of your dog, Spot and Tango might be a perfect pick for pet food delivered to your dog. The human-grade food is made from locally farmed fresh ingredients in New York, in small batches with no artificial additives, preservatives or fillers. The recipes are formulated by veterinary nutritionists and come in preportioned packages (determined by your dog's age, weight and lifestyle) that are vacuum-sealed for freshness. They arrive frozen and just need to be defrosted before serving. You'll get 50% off your first order and have a two-week trial period to test it out; if you decide to cancel in that time period, you'll get your money back.

Frequency & Pricing: Weekly delivery; $2 per meal and up, depending on your dog's age, weight and breed.

There are four different fresh recipes available — chicken, beef, turkey and lamb — and you can even heat the meals up in the microwave if your dog is fussy.

Frequency & pricing: Weekly deliveries; $2.50 to $19 per day, depending on your dog's health, age, weight and breed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              <a href="https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=4f9aabd355fb32289803410c24d4d8e3&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fthefarmersdog.sjv.io%2Fc%2F159047%2F594211%2F9488%3FsubId1%3Dchowhound&amp;opt=false" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"></a>

The Farmer's Dog

Dogs have unique nutritional needs — you wouldn't feed a chihuahua the same amount of food as you would a Newfoundland. That's why Farmer's Dog creates a personalized profile and diet for your dog based on breed, age, activity level, ideal weight and sensitivities, and they make adjustments to your plan as needed. Farmer's Dog uses human-grade ingredients (such as chia seeds and fish oil) to create easy, ready-to-serve meals — all you have to do is open the package and let your dog dig in.

Frequency & pricing: Choose your ideal frequency anywhere between every 2 and 12 weeks; $16 to $90 per week based on dog size.
