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.
Whether you’re a new prospective pet parent or an experienced dog owner, choosing your pet's food in this day in age means something completely different than choosing your pet’s diet 20 years ago. A well-rounded diet must consider various aspects. Most of the factors that pet parents consider when choosing a diet for their pet are the quality ingredients, brand history and convenience.
We've taken this opportunity to examine and compare Kabo to a holistic pet food company, Pinnacle Dog Food. Pinnacle is a highly recognizable grain-free option, but there are alternatives to Pinnacle Dog Food with a larger variety of novel proteins, quality ingredients changing the convenience of mealtime. Pet parents all over the world can also relate to the level of difficulty of finding a suitable diet that addresses the needs of your specific dog. Where Pinnacle lacks in menu options, Kabo addresses with a customized plan.

Pinnacle Dog Food was affected by a recall in 2012 - 2013 when the AvoDerm brand experienced a potential salmonella contamination recall, which later was expanded to include the Pinnacle Dog Food brand. It’s difficult to provide any details about their manufacturing and production process because the standard of manufacture is unknown.
Pinnacle has positioned and marketed themselves as a holistic dog food brand. Although Pinnacle does abide by AAFCO standards, what is considered to be a “holistic” approach to dog food? This may be confusing for newer prospective pet parents who aren’t aware of the importance of a balanced and complete diet.
Kabo recipes are fresh, customizable, and AAFCO-compliant. For $2.40 a day, your dog will eat nutritious, pre-portioned meals keeping them happy and healthy, regardless if they're a senior, picky eater, have tummy troubles or food sensitivities.

1. Feed your dog 100% fully fresh (recommended)
2. Feed 25% fresh, mix Kabo food with 75% of your dog’s regular meal
3. Feed 50% fresh, mix Kabo food with 50% of your dog’s regular meal (budget-friendly)

While Pinnacle meets the standards of AAFCO, Pinnacle is ultimately committed to a grain-free product line. Pinnacle Dog Food’s products, however, aren’t available for purchase directly from their website. Instead, websites like Amazon and Chewy are the only places where you’re able to purchase very specific Pinnacle products (mostly kibble). For some, finding Pinnacle Dog Food products in a physical store can be difficult.
With Pinnacle, options tend to be based on the main protein of each diet (ex. Pinnacle Chicken & Vegetable is a recipe they list on their website with no indication of whether or not these diets are appropriate for puppies, seniors, picky eaters, etc). It’s important to remember that not one diet fits all breeds.
On the other hand, Kabo delivers fresh dog food recipes that are customizable, pre-portioned and AAFCO-compliant. Every Kabo purchase is made with your dog’s diet by weight, breed, activity level, sensitivities in mind. This is because digestibility, palatability and sensitivities differ between dog types.
Pet parents know that what their dog eats affects the longevity of their life. Many of the more common health issues are avoidable with the simple solution of a better diet and exercise. The same level of care must be taken with what our dogs eat as with what we eat. By introducing a customized diet, pet parents are able to address specific issues and needs of their dog versus a diet that tackles a laundry list of issues.
With the convenience of delivery to your doorstep, there is no reason to ever fuss about mealtime again. When Kabo says they’re dedicated to their sole mission of creating happier, healthier, and longer-living dogs, they mean it.

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.
Kabo focuses on designing diets that support preventative care. Each of our recipes varies in protein percentage based on your dog’s profile. Again, it’s important to note that not one diet fits all. For example, German Shepherds are more active and generally larger, they will need more protein in their diet as opposed to a smaller Chihuahua.
According to the FDA and AMVA (American Veterinary Medical Association), Kabo has never had a recall.
