Though Kabo and Freshpet are aligned in thinking about health through fresh food, that's where the major similarities end. Kabo is minimally processed and slow-cooked in human-grade kitchens with human-grade certified ingredients. Though Freshpet uses human-grade ingredients, their food is created in factories in large batches, for the entire US and Canadian markets.
Sadly, Freshpet recently suffered a voluntary recall on June 12, 2021. Kabo has not experienced a recall of any of its foods.
Access to Freshpet is good in major Canadian centers. Freshpet being available in specific store locations is convenient for some but may cause issues if your furry friend's favourite meal is out of stock. Since Kabo delivers directly from their kitchen to your door, there is never that sinking ‘did I buy dog food’ feeling.
Kabo is setting new fresh standards in Canadian dog nutrition. Its unique recipes are developed for all stages of a pup’s life and it’s proven highly palatable by picky eaters.
Pricing for Freshpet is retailer-dependent and may vary depending on where you live. Kabo is a custom subscription service with predictable upfront pricing and always free shipping.
Feeding your dog fresh food will help give them an amazing health advantage. Freshpet and Kabo score well with nutrition, but Kabo’s philosophy pays more respect to the sourcing, cooking and quality management of its dog foods. Clients of Kabo are also part of a community with direct access to Kabo experts, and even a free consultation with our Pet Health Experts Team.
Freshpet and Kabo both are dedicated to healthy living through natural ingredients. Freshpet is the more pricey option, starting at $3.66/day. Kabo starts at $2.40/day. Kabo sources only human quality certified, Canadian meats, fruits, and vegetables; Freshpet being an American company is focused on using American human grade sources. Only Kabo delivers freshly prepared food to your door for free, when you need it.

Absolutely, and I’m sure if your dog could talk they would have something to say too! Kabo dog foods are made in Canada using certified human ingredients from the breadbaskets of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. Our core focus is on animal health through nutrition.
Because Kabo is a subscription service we know how much to prepare for each small batch. We won’t overproduce for freezer storage but cook on demand so everyone gets fresh food.
Kinda right? Kabo uses only certified ingredients as being good for human consumption and prepares our recipes in human-spec kitchens. We are human-grade food for your dog.
