Sous Vide Is French For Wayyyyy Better.
We gently cook our food sous vide to protect the goodness of real ingredients — keeping more of what's good for them and more of what dogs love.
More Nutrients
Gentle cooking helps protect nutrients naturally found in real food.
More Protein
Low-temperature cooking helps protect protein quality.
Juicier Texture
Cooking in the package locks in moisture for tender, juicy bites.
Richer Flavor
Slow-cooked with real bone broth for the savory flavor dogs love.

By Dog Parents, For Dog Parents.
A Pup Above started with one dog named Lola and one big question: why should people get all the good food? We believe every member of the family deserves real food made with the same care and standards we expect for ourselves. We call that household parity.
