What Does Evermore Stand For?

Evermore was founded in 2009 in Brooklyn, New York, by Alison Blumberg and Hanna Mandelbaum—two friends who were frustrated by the lack of transparency in the pet food industry. Their solution was straightforward: make dog food the way you’d cook for yourself, using whole ingredients, minimal processing, and complete honesty about sourcing. In 2011, they launched the “Evermore Me” campaign, where they lived on their own dog food for a period to prove its integrity. It was a bold statement, and it set the tone for everything the company has done since.

The brand positions itself in the ultra-premium, human-grade segment, competing with names like The Farmer’s Dog, Ollie, and Nom Nom. What sets Evermore apart is its commitment to animal welfare—it was one of the first pet food brands to achieve Better Chicken Commitment compliance, sourcing 100% of its chicken from Global Animal Partnership Step 4 farms, where birds are pasture-raised with higher welfare standards than most human food. The beef is grass-fed, the lamb comes from New Zealand pastures, and the turkey is organic and antibiotic-free.

Evermore is privately held by its two founders, which means there’s no parent corporation pulling strings or pushing for cost-cutting. The company has never been acquired, never had a recall, and has maintained a consistent product philosophy for over 15 years. It’s a small operation—only a handful of full-time employees—but that’s by design. Resources go into ingredients and production, not advertising. The food is sold primarily direct-to-consumer, with some presence in specialty pet stores in the Northeast and Bay Area.

The brand’s core values are transparency, sustainability, and ethical sourcing. Packaging recently shifted from boxes to label-only pouches to reduce waste, and the company openly discusses its supply chain, down to the farms where ingredients are raised. There’s no greenwashing here—just a straightforward commitment to doing things the right way, even when it’s more expensive or logistically complicated.

Ingredient Analysis

Primary Proteins

Evermore offers four recipes, each built around a single animal protein: beef, chicken, turkey, or lamb. The beef is grass-fed and comes from cattle raised without hormones or antibiotics. The chicken is pasture-raised, meeting Global Animal Partnership Step 4 standards—the highest welfare tier available. The turkey is organic and free-range, sourced from farms that follow strict antibiotic-free protocols. The lamb is grass-fed and raised on pastures in New Zealand, where animal welfare standards are among the best in the world.

Each recipe also includes organ meats—heart and liver—which are nutrient-dense and provide natural sources of vitamins A, B12, and iron. Organ meats are often overlooked in commercial dog food, but they’re a key part of a biologically appropriate diet. Evermore also uses pasture-raised eggs in every recipe, which contribute high-quality protein and essential fatty acids.

On a dry matter basis, protein levels are impressive: 39% in the beef recipe, 44% in chicken, 48% in turkey, and 41% in lamb. These are higher than most kibbles, and the protein is highly digestible because it comes from whole meats, not rendered meals or by-products.

Carbohydrate Sources

The beef and chicken recipes include organic oats and barley, which provide slow-burning energy and fiber for digestive health. The lamb and turkey recipes are grain-free, using butternut squash, sweet potato, and pumpkin as carbohydrate sources. These are nutrient-dense vegetables that also contribute vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Carbohydrate levels are moderate to low, depending on the recipe. The grain-free options (lamb and turkey) have around 8% carbs on a dry matter basis, while the grain-inclusive recipes (beef and chicken) sit closer to 18-20%. This makes Evermore suitable for dogs who do well on moderate-carb diets, as well as those who benefit from grain-free formulas.

Fats and Supplements

Fat content varies by recipe: 25% in beef, 20% in chicken and turkey, and 30% in lamb (all dry matter basis). The fats come primarily from the animal proteins themselves, plus MSC-certified fish oil from Alaskan pollock, which provides omega-3 fatty acids for skin, coat, and joint health. Organic safflower oil is used in some recipes for additional omega-6 fatty acids.

Supplements are minimal and purposeful. You’ll find eggshell powder for calcium, dried kelp for iodine, and organic pumpkin seeds for fiber and zinc. There are no synthetic vitamins or minerals beyond what’s required to meet AAFCO standards, and everything is sourced from human-grade suppliers with certificates of analysis.

What’s Not in the Food

Evermore contains no meat meals, by-products, fillers, artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. There’s no corn, wheat, or soy. The ingredient list is short, and every item serves a clear nutritional purpose. If you’re the kind of owner who wants to know exactly what your dog is eating, this is the kind of transparency you’re looking for.

Nutritional Value and Composition

All four Evermore recipes are formulated to meet AAFCO standards for adult maintenance, which means they provide complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs. The company has not conducted AAFCO feeding trials, so the recipes rely on formulation rather than empirical testing with live animals. For most healthy adult dogs, this is perfectly adequate.

Here’s a breakdown of the macronutrient profiles on a dry matter basis:

  • Beef: 39% protein, 25% fat, 18% carbs, 602 kcal/lb
  • Chicken: 44% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbs, 484 kcal/lb
  • Turkey: 48% protein, 20% fat, 8% carbs, 431 kcal/lb
  • Lamb: 41% protein, 30% fat, 8% carbs, 579 kcal/lb

The protein-to-fat ratios are well-balanced for most dogs. The beef and lamb recipes are higher in fat, making them suitable for active dogs or those who need more caloric density. The chicken and turkey recipes are leaner, which works well for dogs with moderate activity levels or those prone to weight gain.

Caloric density varies significantly. The beef recipe is the most calorie-dense at 602 kcal per pound, while turkey is the leanest at 431 kcal per pound. This matters when you’re calculating daily portions—your dog will eat more turkey by weight than beef to meet the same caloric needs.

Evermore’s recipes are moisture-rich, which is a big advantage over kibble. Fresh food naturally contains more water, which supports hydration, kidney function, and digestion. Dogs eating Evermore will likely drink less water than they would on dry food, and their stools will generally be smaller and firmer.

One thing Evermore doesn’t offer is life stage-specific formulas. The recipes are labeled for adult maintenance, not for puppies, seniors, or dogs with special medical needs. If you have a growing puppy or a senior dog with joint issues, you’ll want to consult your vet before switching to Evermore, especially since the brand doesn’t provide detailed micronutrient breakdowns or supplementation guidance for those life stages.

For Which Dogs Is It or Isn’t It Suitable?

Best For

Evermore works best for healthy adult dogs of any size who don’t have extreme dietary restrictions. If your dog is active, has a sensitive stomach, or simply does better on fresh food, this is a strong option. The grain-free recipes (lamb and turkey) are particularly well-suited for dogs with grain sensitivities or mild food intolerances, though they’re not hypoallergenic in the strict sense—they still contain eggs and fish oil.

Dogs who struggle with digestibility or stool quality on kibble often do well on Evermore. The gentle cooking process preserves enzymes and nutrients, and the whole-food ingredients are easier on the digestive system than heavily processed meals. Many owners report firmer, smaller stools and less gas after switching.

Evermore is also a good fit for picky eaters. The food smells like real food—because it is—and most dogs find it highly palatable. If you’ve tried multiple kibbles without success, the switch to fresh food can be a game-changer.

Not Recommended For

Evermore is not formulated for puppies, and I wouldn’t recommend it for large-breed puppies in particular, who need carefully balanced calcium and phosphorus ratios to support healthy bone growth. The brand doesn’t provide specific guidance on feeding puppies, and the recipes haven’t been tested via AAFCO growth trials.

Dogs with severe food allergies may also struggle. While the grain-free recipes eliminate common allergens like wheat and corn, they still contain eggs, which are a known allergen for some dogs. There’s no hydrolyzed protein option or limited-ingredient formula beyond the single-protein structure.

If your dog requires a veterinary or therapeutic diet—for kidney disease, liver issues, or weight management—Evermore isn’t designed for that. It’s a maintenance food, not a medical one.

Finally, if you have a very large dog or multiple dogs, the cost can become prohibitive. Feeding a 70-pound dog Evermore full-time can run over $300 per month, which is a significant commitment. Some owners use it as a partial replacement, mixing it with a high-quality kibble to stretch the budget.

Taste and Acceptance

Palatability is one of Evermore’s strongest suits. The food is gently cooked at low temperatures, which preserves flavor and aroma in a way that kibble simply can’t. When you open a pack, it smells like beef stew or roasted chicken—not the processed, grain-heavy smell of most commercial dog food.

Anecdotally, the beef and chicken recipes seem to be the most popular. Dogs tend to eat them enthusiastically, and even picky eaters often respond well after a short transition period. The lamb and turkey recipes are slightly less universally loved, but they’re still well-accepted, especially by dogs who’ve had digestive issues with other proteins.

One practical advantage of Evermore’s format is that it’s easy to serve. The food comes in vacuum-sealed pouches that you thaw in the fridge, then portion out at mealtime. It’s not as convenient as scooping kibble, but it’s far less messy than raw food, and you don’t need to worry about cross-contamination or handling raw meat.

If your dog is used to kibble, you’ll want to transition gradually over 7-10 days to avoid digestive upset. Start by mixing a small amount of Evermore with your dog’s current food, then slowly increase the proportion. Most dogs adjust without issue, but some may experience loose stools during the transition, especially if they’ve been on kibble for years.

Price-Quality Ratio

Evermore is expensive. There’s no getting around it. Pricing varies depending on the recipe and case size, but you’re looking at $11.72 to $14 per pound, depending on how much you buy at once. For a 50-pound dog eating roughly 1.5 pounds per day, that’s $17-$21 per day, or $510-$630 per month. For comparison, a high-quality kibble like Orijen or Acana might cost $3-$5 per day for the same dog.

Is it worth it? That depends on what you value. If you prioritize ingredient transparency, ethical sourcing, and nutrient density, Evermore delivers. The protein quality is exceptional, the welfare standards are among the best in the industry, and there’s no filler or synthetic junk. You’re paying for human-grade ingredients, USDA-inspected production, and rigorous batch testing.

That said, there are more affordable fresh food options. Not sure whether to choose Evermore or something more budget-friendly? Read our Dog food from Unkibble review—it’s a shelf-stable, gently dried option that offers many of the same benefits at a lower price point. The Farmer’s Dog and Nom Nom also tend to come in slightly cheaper on a per-calorie basis, especially if you opt for a mixed feeding plan where you supplement with kibble.

One way to make Evermore more affordable is to buy in bulk. The 2X-Large case (32 pounds) drops the per-pound cost to $11.72 for beef and chicken, which is about 16% cheaper than the trial packs. Subscriptions also offer modest discounts and free shipping, which helps offset some of the cost.

Another option is to use Evermore as a topper or partial replacement. Mix it with a high-quality kibble to stretch your dollar while still giving your dog the benefits of fresh food. Many owners find this approach works well, especially for larger dogs where full-time fresh feeding isn’t financially realistic.

Production and Quality Control

Evermore is produced in a USDA-inspected, family-owned facility in California. The facility only makes Evermore products, which reduces the risk of cross-contamination and allows for tighter quality control. The cooking process is gentle—sous vide-style, at low temperatures—which preserves nutrients and digestibility without requiring high heat or pressure.

Every batch undergoes rigorous testing before it ships. This includes proximate analysis (protein, fat, fiber, moisture), an expanded mineral panel, and pathogen screening for E. coli, salmonella, listeria, and mold. The company requires certificates of analysis for all supplements and mineral premixes, and ingredients are traceable back to their source farms.

Evermore has never had a recall, which is a strong indicator of consistent quality and safety protocols. The company follows HACCP food safety standards, which are typically used for human food production. Full sanitation is performed before and after every production run, and the facility is regularly audited by USDA inspectors.

One limitation is that Evermore has not published detailed information about third-party lab testing or formal certifications like ISO 22000 or BRC. The company emphasizes transparency in sourcing and ingredient quality, but it doesn’t provide the same level of public documentation you’d see from larger brands with dedicated R&D departments.

Sustainability and Ethics

Evermore takes animal welfare seriously. The chicken is sourced from Global Animal Partnership Step 4 farms, which means the birds are pasture-raised with access to the outdoors, enrichment, and slower growth rates than conventional poultry. This is a higher standard than most human food, and it’s rare in the pet food industry. The beef is grass-fed, the lamb is pasture-raised in New Zealand, and the turkey is organic and antibiotic-free.

The company has also made strides in reducing packaging waste. In 2025, Evermore transitioned from box packaging to label-only pouches, which cuts down on material use and makes storage easier. The pouches are vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness, and while they’re not fully compostable, the shift represents a meaningful reduction in environmental impact.

Evermore prioritizes local and regional sourcing where possible, with most ingredients coming from California and the Pacific Northwest. This reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation and supports domestic agriculture. The lamb is the exception—it’s imported from New Zealand—but New Zealand’s lamb industry is known for high welfare standards and sustainable farming practices.

One area where Evermore could improve is formal sustainability reporting. The company doesn’t publish a comprehensive CSR report or third-party sustainability score, so it’s difficult to quantify the environmental impact of its operations. The commitment to ethical sourcing and waste reduction is clear, but more transparency in this area would strengthen the brand’s credibility with environmentally conscious consumers.

What Did My Own Dogs Think of This Food?

I tested Evermore’s chicken recipe with a dog named Mabel, a six-year-old beagle mix at the shelter where I work. Mabel has a history of sensitive digestion—nothing severe, but she’s prone to soft stools and occasional gas when her diet changes or when she gets into something she shouldn’t. She’s a food-motivated dog, which is typical for beagles, but she’s also a bit particular about texture. She’ll turn her nose up at anything too dry or crumbly.

The transition to Evermore was smooth. I mixed it with her regular kibble over a week, gradually increasing the proportion until she was eating it full-time. She took to it immediately—no hesitation, no sniffing and walking away. The food has a soft, moist texture that she clearly preferred over kibble, and the smell was strong enough to get her excited at mealtimes.

Within the first few days, I noticed her stools were firmer and more consistent. Before, she’d have the occasional loose stool, especially in the mornings. On Evermore, that stopped. Her stools were smaller, too, which is a sign of better digestibility—less waste going through the system. She also had noticeably less gas, which was a relief for everyone in the shelter.

Over the course of two weeks, Mabel’s coat started to look shinier. Beagles don’t have long, flowing coats, but hers definitely had more luster. Her energy level stayed steady—she’s always been a moderately active dog, and that didn’t change—but she seemed more comfortable after meals, without the bloating or restlessness you sometimes see after a dog eats too quickly.

One thing I appreciated was that Mabel ate at a normal pace. With kibble, she’d inhale her food in seconds, which I always worried might lead to bloat. With Evermore, she took her time, savoring each bite. It made mealtimes feel less frantic, which is a small but meaningful improvement in daily life.

Overall, Mabel did well on Evermore. She liked the food, her digestion improved, and her coat looked healthier. It wasn’t a dramatic transformation—she didn’t suddenly become a different dog—but the small, consistent improvements added up. For a dog like Mabel, who doesn’t have major health issues but benefits from high-quality nutrition, Evermore delivered exactly what it promised.

Experiences of Other Users

Across multiple platforms—Chewy, DogFoodAdvisor, Dogster, and direct customer testimonials—Evermore consistently earns high ratings, typically in the 4.5 to 5-star range. The most common praise focuses on palatability, digestibility, and visible improvements in coat quality.

Many owners report that their picky eaters finally found a food they’ll eat consistently. One user mentioned that her terrier, who had refused multiple kibbles, “ate Evermore with gusto from day one and never looked back.” Another owner of a senior retriever noted that after switching to Evermore, her dog’s allergies disappeared and she had more energy than she’d shown in years.

Digestive improvements are frequently mentioned. Owners of dogs with sensitive stomachs report firmer stools, less gas, and fewer episodes of diarrhea. One user said her dog’s chronic digestive issues resolved within two weeks of switching to the lamb recipe, which is grain-free.

Coat and skin health also come up often. Owners describe their dogs’ coats as shinier, softer, and less prone to shedding. A few users mentioned that skin problems—itching, hot spots, ear infections—improved after switching to Evermore, particularly with the grain-free recipes.

The main complaint is cost. Multiple reviews mention that Evermore is “hard to justify financially,” especially for households with large dogs or multiple pets. One owner of two Labrador retrievers said she wanted to keep feeding Evermore but had to switch to a more affordable option because the monthly cost was over $1,000.

A small number of users reported that their dogs didn’t like the food or had digestive issues after switching. One owner mentioned that her dog vomited after trying the turkey recipe but did fine on beef. Another said the food was “too rich” for her dog and caused loose stools. These cases are rare—less than 5% of reviews—but they’re worth noting.

Customer service receives consistently positive feedback. Multiple users mention that the company founders are personally involved in responding to questions and concerns, and that the company offers nutritional consultations and recipe advice. One user said, “I emailed with a question about portion sizes, and Alison herself responded within a few hours with detailed guidance.”

Comparison with Competitors

Evermore competes directly with brands like The Farmer’s Dog, Ollie, Nom Nom, and Spot & Tango. Here’s how it stacks up:

The Farmer’s Dog offers a similar product—fresh, human-grade, gently cooked—but with more customization. You fill out a detailed questionnaire, and The Farmer’s Dog tailors a meal plan to your dog’s specific needs, including portion sizes and calorie targets. It’s slightly more convenient and often a bit cheaper on a per-calorie basis. However, Evermore edges ahead on animal welfare. The Farmer’s Dog doesn’t advertise the same level of sourcing transparency or third-party welfare certification.

Ollie is another strong competitor, with a similar price point and product format. Ollie offers more recipe variety—beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and pork—and has a polished, user-friendly subscription platform. The main difference is that Ollie uses more vegetables and grains in its recipes, which lowers the protein percentage slightly. If you prefer a higher-protein, more meat-focused formula, Evermore is the better choice.

Nom Nom is veterinary-formulated and offers recipes for specific health needs, including weight management and sensitive stomachs. It’s a bit more clinical in its approach, with detailed nutritional breakdowns and vet consultations available. Nom Nom is also slightly cheaper than Evermore on a per-pound basis. The trade-off is that Evermore’s ingredient sourcing—especially the welfare-certified meats—is arguably superior.

Spot & Tango offers both fresh and “UnKibble” options, which gives you more flexibility. UnKibble is a shelf-stable, gently dried food that’s significantly cheaper than fresh options while still offering whole-food ingredients. If cost is a major concern, Spot & Tango might be the better fit. But if you want the highest-welfare, most transparent sourcing, Evermore wins.

Compared to premium kibbles like Orijen or Acana, Evermore is far more expensive, but it’s also a fundamentally different product. Kibble is extruded at high heat, which destroys some nutrients and reduces digestibility. Evermore is gently cooked, which preserves enzymes and moisture. If your dog does well on kibble, there may not be a compelling reason to switch. But if your dog has digestive issues, skin problems, or simply does better on fresh food, Evermore offers something kibble can’t.

What Kind of Dogs Is This Food Suitable For?

Evermore is best suited for healthy adult dogs of any size who don’t have extreme dietary restrictions. If your dog is active, has a sensitive stomach, or does better on minimally processed food, this is a strong option. The high protein content and quality fats make it particularly well-suited for active dogs who need calorie-dense nutrition to support their energy levels.

The grain-free recipes—lamb and turkey—are a good fit for dogs with grain sensitivities or mild food intolerances. They’re not hypoallergenic in the strict sense, but they eliminate common allergens like wheat and corn. If your dog has struggled with digestive issues or skin problems on grain-inclusive diets, these recipes are worth trying.

Evermore also works well for picky eaters. The food is highly palatable, and most dogs find it more appealing than kibble. If you’ve cycled through multiple brands without success, the switch to fresh food can make a noticeable difference.

For puppies, I’d proceed with caution. Evermore is formulated for adult maintenance, not growth, and the company doesn’t provide specific guidance on feeding puppies. If you have a large-breed puppy, the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio may not be appropriate for healthy bone development. Consult your vet before feeding Evermore to a growing dog.

Senior dogs can do well on Evermore, especially if they have dental issues or trouble chewing kibble. The soft, moist texture is easier to eat, and the high-quality protein supports muscle maintenance. However, if your senior dog has kidney disease, liver issues, or other medical conditions, Evermore isn’t formulated to address those needs. You’ll need a veterinary diet.

For dogs with severe allergies, Evermore may not be the best choice. The recipes contain eggs and fish oil, which are common allergens. If your dog requires a hydrolyzed protein diet or a strict limited-ingredient formula, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

Is This Dog Food Good?

Yes, Evermore is a high-quality dog food, but it’s not for everyone. If you prioritize ingredient transparency, ethical sourcing, and nutrient density, this is one of the best options on the market. The protein quality is exceptional, the welfare standards are industry-leading, and the company has a spotless safety record. There’s no filler, no synthetic junk, and no cutting corners to save costs.

That said, the price is steep. For a 50-pound dog, you’re looking at $500+ per month, which is a significant commitment. If you have a large dog or multiple pets, that cost can quickly become unsustainable. There are more affordable fresh food options—like The Farmer’s Dog or Spot & Tango—that deliver similar benefits at a lower price point.

Evermore also has limited product variety. There are only four recipes, and they’re all formulated for adult maintenance. If you need a puppy formula, a senior-specific recipe, or a veterinary diet, Evermore doesn’t offer it. The brand is laser-focused on doing one thing well—gently cooked, human-grade food for healthy adult dogs—and it doesn’t try to be everything to everyone.

Would I buy this for my dog? If I had a healthy adult dog with no major dietary restrictions and the budget to support it, absolutely. The ingredient quality and ethical sourcing are worth the premium, especially if your dog has struggled with digestive issues or palatability on kibble. But if I had a puppy, a senior dog with medical needs, or a tight budget, I’d look at other options first.

Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes, with caveats. If they’re already feeding a high-quality kibble and their dog is doing fine, I’d tell them there’s no urgent reason to switch. But if their dog has skin problems, digestive issues, or simply won’t eat their current food, Evermore is worth trying. It’s a premium product that delivers on its promises, but it’s not a necessity for every dog.

In the end, Evermore is a thoughtful, well-executed option for owners who want to feed their dogs the way they’d feed themselves. It’s not cheap, and it’s not perfect, but it’s honest, transparent, and built on a foundation of quality and integrity. For the right dog and the right owner, that’s worth a lot.

Frequently Asked Questions about Evermore Dog Food

Is Evermore safe for dogs with food allergies?

Evermore may not be suitable for dogs with severe food allergies. While the grain-free recipes (lamb and turkey) eliminate common allergens like wheat and corn, all four recipes contain eggs and fish oil, which are known allergens for some dogs. If your dog requires a hydrolyzed protein diet or strict limited-ingredient formula, you’ll need to look elsewhere. However, dogs with mild grain sensitivities often do well on the lamb or turkey recipes.

Can I feed Evermore to my puppy?

I’d proceed with caution when feeding Evermore to puppies. The recipes are formulated for adult maintenance, not growth, and the company doesn’t provide specific guidance on puppy feeding. Large-breed puppies in particular need carefully balanced calcium and phosphorus ratios for healthy bone development. The recipes haven’t been tested via AAFCO growth trials, so it’s best to consult your vet before switching a growing dog to Evermore.

How much does Evermore cost per month?

Evermore costs $11.72 to $14 per pound depending on the recipe and case size. For a 50-pound dog eating roughly 1.5 pounds per day, expect to pay $17-$21 daily, or $510-$630 per month. This is significantly more expensive than premium kibble, which might cost $3-$5 per day for the same dog. Buying in bulk and subscribing can reduce costs slightly.

Has Evermore ever had a recall?

No, Evermore has never had a recall in its 15+ year history. The company maintains strict quality control protocols, including rigorous batch testing for pathogens like E. coli, salmonella, and listeria. All production happens in a USDA-inspected California facility that only makes Evermore products, reducing cross-contamination risks.

How do I transition my dog to Evermore?

Transition gradually over 7-10 days to avoid digestive upset. Start by mixing a small amount of Evermore with your dog’s current food, then slowly increase the Evermore proportion each day. Most dogs adjust without issue, but some may experience loose stools during transition, especially if they’ve been on kibble for years. This is normal and typically resolves within a few days.

What makes Evermore different from other fresh dog foods?

Evermore stands out for its exceptional animal welfare standards. The chicken is sourced from Global Animal Partnership Step 4 farms (pasture-raised), the beef is grass-fed, and the lamb comes from New Zealand pastures. This level of welfare certification is rare in pet food. The company has also remained privately owned by its two founders, with no corporate parent company pushing for cost-cutting measures.

Does Evermore need to be refrigerated?

Yes, Evermore must be kept frozen until you’re ready to use it, then thawed in the refrigerator. Once thawed, it should be used within a few days. The food comes in vacuum-sealed pouches that you can thaw as needed, making it more convenient than preparing raw food but requiring more planning than kibble.

Can I mix Evermore with kibble?

Absolutely. Many owners use Evermore as a topper or partial replacement to make it more affordable while still providing fresh food benefits. This approach works particularly well for larger dogs where full-time fresh feeding isn’t financially realistic. Mix it with a high-quality kibble to stretch your budget while improving your dog’s nutrition.

Which Evermore recipe should I choose for my dog?

The choice depends on your dog’s needs and preferences. The beef and chicken recipes tend to be most popular and contain organic grains for moderate carb content. The lamb and turkey recipes are grain-free with lower carbohydrate levels, making them suitable for dogs with grain sensitivities. The beef and lamb recipes are higher in fat and calories, ideal for active dogs, while chicken and turkey are leaner options.

Is Evermore suitable for senior dogs?

Evermore can work well for healthy senior dogs, especially those with dental issues who struggle with kibble. The soft, moist texture is easier to chew, and the high-quality protein supports muscle maintenance. However, if your senior dog has kidney disease, liver problems, or other medical conditions, Evermore isn’t formulated to address those specific needs—you’ll need a veterinary diet designed for those conditions.
