We believe that it is important your dog eats his or her food fresh. To this end we have organised our preparation process so that we get Darling’s from field to Fido (or Fifi) in under four days. This is a lot faster than most supermarkets manage with their fresh meat.
What about once you have taken delivery? We recommend that you unpack the food from the insulated box (note that it is recyclable) and stack it in your freezer.
Before going to bed at night just take out the following day’s food and it will be all ready and thawed in the morning.
The advantage of this system is that you can be certain the food you are serving is fresh as fresh can be.
Incidentally, it is quite OK to freeze any bones you order. You can then thaw them as needed although some dogs actually love chewing on frozen bones.
Although we pack all our food and bones so that they take up as little space as possible you may find that your freezer is just not big enough for all the Darling’s you need. Different options include:
- Ordering more frequently. We will despatch every 14 days although it does work out more expensive because of the extra packaging and delivery charges.
- Asking a friend or relative to help by keeping some of the food for you in their freezer.
- Keeping food for up to five days in your fridge.
- Buying a new freezer. If the only other option is ordering more frequently it is actually more cost effective to buy an extra freezer.
