Kabo is made up of pet parents who are on a mission to work towards a happier and healthier future for dogs all across the globe by elevating, educating, and advocating what it means to be a pet parent in 2022. How? You may ask. The answer is simple, through the best way we know-how, food.
The decision ultimately boils down to which diet do pet parents choose and what exactly does your dog need? The importance of a nutritional balance is something pet parents in 2022 take seriously and we’ve taken the time to compare Kabo to Fromm Family Pet Food to show which brand is more beneficial for an overall diet in terms of freshness, quality of ingredients and convenience, ultimately ensuring a balanced diet.
When deciding on a complete and balanced diet, there are numerous factors to consider. When picking a diet for their pet, pet parents examine the quality of the ingredients, the brand's history, and the product's fit. Having a pet in 2021 means something substantially different than it did in the past.
We’ve taken the opportunity to look and compare Kabo to one of the dog food brands that markets itself as Canada’s most trusted pet food. Purina is a Nestle owned company that has been a household name for over 90 years. Although Purina’s primary focus is on pet nutrition and nourishing pets, there are other factors that Purina doesn’t quite address. Pet parents are starting to realize that not one diet fits all and don’t always tackle every sensitivity their dog may face.

Purina has been a household name for decades and first to use real meat as their first ingredient in dog food. However, they are only basing their diets on general categories (senior, puppy, dry food, large breed, small breed, etc) and still approaching these lifestyle categories with a “one size fits all” mentality. For example, your dog may present 1 symptom out of 10 (for a specialized Purina diet). This may confuse pet parents in deciding whether or not the 1 symptom is important enough for a specialized diet.
Where Purina lacks in addressing specific needs, Kabo presents a fully customizable experience. The goal is to help pet parents understand that mealtime can be seamless, healthy and convenient. Kabo allows pet parents to design and customize their entire experience with Kabo, focusing on their dog's specific health needs, weight, delivery frequency, and portion size.
Although Purina does meet the AAFCO standards, Purina has had two dog food recalls in 2013 and 2016 due to low vitamin and mineral content and suspected salmonella contamination. Kabo recipes are fresh, customizable, and meet the standards of AAFCO. Whether your dog is a senior, a picky eater, has tummy troubles, or food sensitivities, Kabo’s meals are customized to your dog and lifestyle, making them exceptionally easy and convenient to feed your dog for $2.40 a day. We’re confident that one of Kabo’s novel protein fresh pre-portioned meals will be a winner, keeping your dog healthy and full!

Looking deeper into the ingredients and benefits of having your dog on a Purina diet, pet owners will learn that Purina foods are not as fresh, nor do they cater to your dog's unique needs as Kabo’s does. While Purina does abide by AAFCO standards, a majority of this Nestle owned brand does contain wheat, corn and soy, which are known to be the most common allergies in dogs.
Kabo's dog food recipes are personalized, pre-portioned, and AAFCO-compliant. At Kabo, we reduce pet parent anxiety by being open and honest with our pet parents. We know that starting a new diet can be difficult, which is why Kabo is here to earn your trust. Many of the more common health issues are avoidable with the simple solution of feeding your dog well and exercising regularly. Let's place more importance on what our dogs eat, and less on what we eat.
Where Purina lacks clarity and transparency, Kabo certainly makes up for it by earning pet parent’s trust through product knowledge and education around fresh food and the benefits of feeding human-grade food. Kabo customizes your dog’s diet by weight, breed, activity level, sensitivities, etc with a customized transition plan. With Purina, options tend to be based on the age of the dog (ex. Purina puppy, Purina senior, small breed, large breed, etc). This is where Kabo stands apart — pet parents can control everything from portion size and delivery frequency to meal suitability.
Preventative care is one of the many reasons why Kabo designs their diets to focus on factors such as digestibility, palatability, and sensitivities. With the convenience of delivery to your doorstep and the ability to customize meal plans down to your lifestyle, there is no reason to ever fuss about mealtime again. Kabo is dedicated to one mission, which is creating happier, healthier, and longer-living dogs, and it starts from within the bowl.

According to the FDA and AMVA (American Veterinary Medical Association), Kabo has never had a recall.
Kabo customizes their meals to the needs of your dog. We ask for information such as activity level, age, breed, etc to determine the appropriate calorie intake needed for a complete and balanced diet. Kabo can cost as low as $2 a day.
All our ingredients are sourced from trusted, Canadian, federally inspected suppliers. We continuously test our products at every step to ensure our recipes only use ingredients that have passed federal testing. Quality and safety for dogs is our number one priority.
