Free of preservatives or fillers, it comes frozen in 16oz beef or turkey flavors, thaws easily, and is available at local independent pet retailers or online at neighborpetfood.com. The product emphasizes local sourcing, small-batch production, and community connection for better quality and sustainability.

A Fresh Start, In Every Way
Neighbor, a pet food company founded by Paul and Mary, was inspired by their dog Charlie’s health needs, leading them to cook real food at home. The company aims to create a better business by using locally sourced, human-grade ingredients, being employee-owned, and selling through independent pet stores and their website to support the community. They cook fresh recipes weekly in Portland, use no fillers or artificial ingredients, and deliver across Oregon and Washington while prioritizing fair wages and relationships. Neighbor believes real food helps pets thrive, benefiting entire households, and uses its platform to foster community, support mental health conversations, and partner with nonprofits to aid families and animals in crisis through donations and volunteerism. -

Why Fresh Dog Food?
Why Fresh Dog Food?
Fresh dog food isn’t just a trend—it’s common sense. Dogs thrive on whole, real ingredients, just like people. Unlike processed kibble, which is shelf-stable for years and often contains preservatives and fillers, fresh food is easier to digest, more hydrating, and nutrient-rich. Neighbor Pet Food’s vet-formulated meatballs, made weekly with local ingredients, are versatile as meals, toppers, or treats. They promote shinier coats, better digestion, more energy, healthier stools, and long-term wellness, giving dogs the fresh, high-quality food they deserve.
