Nom Nom vs. Spot & Tango

Why You Should Consider Nom Nom & Spot & Tango?

Nom Nom

Nate and Jack and their dogs Harlee and Mim founded Nom Nom in 2014 because they were concerned with the food quality in the dog food market. Nate and Jack were unsatisfied with feeding their dogs kibble and canned food that included additives of dubious quality.

Harlee and Mim's owners wanted to provide better care for them, so they tried making dog food at home using only fresh ingredients. After seeing how easy it was to make healthy dog food at home, they decided to start a business delivering pet food to their friends and neighbors.

Spot & Tango

Spot & Tango was formed in 2013 by Russel Breuer, his wife, and a close associate. After researching commercially available dog foods, the three determined they could provide better for their pets by cooking fresh, wholesome, farm-to-table fare.

Spot & Tango's founders believe that dogs thrive on a fresh, all-natural fare diet, which the company provides by sourcing only the highest quality, human-grade meats, veggies, and fruits. After months of planning and self-funding, the company finally got off the ground.

Ingredients

All of the ingredients used by Nom Nom and Spot and Tango come from within the United States and are safe for human consumption, as outlined by the United States Department of Agriculture. More importantly, the recipes used by both businesses are made with natural foods. Moreover, both versions of the recipes are safe for those who avoid gluten and genetically modified ingredients.

Further, both brands have recipes developed by veterinary nutritionists who have completed rigorous training programs, so you can rest assured that your dog is getting a balanced and healthy diet.

Sustainability & Customization

Both businesses utilize environmentally friendly packaging. The insulating liners can be composted, while the cardboard boxes and meal packs can be reused after a thorough cleaning. If you want to be as environmentally responsible as possible, revise your delivery schedule so that you receive larger shipments with longer time in between each delivery.

Nom Nom

Once you've established which Nom Nom meals your dog prefers, you can freely alternate between them with each shipment. If you purchase weekly meal delivery, you can pick between two different recipes with each delivery. Better yet, customers who choose biweekly or monthly deliveries will receive two or four new recipes, respectively, every time their order is fulfilled. Dogs can develop stomach issues if their diets are changed too frequently.

Spot & Tango

As a company, Spot and Tango is deeply committed to recycling and cutting down on trash. Eco-friendly and easily decomposable are two words that describe their packaging. Regarding food delivery, Spot and Tango's meals have a leg up on the competition thanks to superior insulation and packaging. The portions are vacuum-sealed and packaged in a separate box, then covered with an insulating liner and a protective outer box. The meals are protected from the heat of the delivery truck by an air cushion between them and the box.

So…Who Wins?

Spot & Tango and Nom Nom are two great options for delivering fresh dog food to your home. Nonetheless, Nom Nom wins the race. It's a cheaper alternative with the same high-quality ingredients used by restaurants. Nom Nom offers superior guarantee terms than Spot & Tango, as well as friendlier and more helpful staff.
