We Have Answers

We recommend a gradual 7–10 day transition. Start with 25% Brothers + 75% your dog’s current food for 2–3 days, then move to 50/50, then 75/25, and finally 100% Brothers. This gives your dog’s digestive system—and gut microbiome—time to adjust smoothly.

Every Brothers formula contains added digestive enzymes to help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates at mealtime. This helps your dog get the most out of every bowl.

We add both prebiotics (which feed good bacteria) and carefully selected probiotics (beneficial live bacteria) to support a healthy gut microbiome. Each batch is crafted to maintain potency through storage and feeding.

Keep your food sealed, dry, and cool. Store bags in their original packaging, folded or clipped shut, inside a container if desired. Avoid hot or humid areas (like garages) to help preserve freshness and the activity of enzymes and probiotics.

Subscriptions are simple. You choose your recipe, bag size, and frequency (based on your dog’s feeding needs). We’ll ship automatically on your schedule with a discount, and you can change, pause, or cancel anytime.

Orders ship quickly from our climate-controlled warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri. We offer free shipping on orders $49+, and if your dog isn’t loving Brothers, reach out within 30 days - we’ll make it right.

Brothers was built with sensitive dogs in mind. Our gut-focused formulas—animal-sourced protein, digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics are designed to support easier digestion. Many customers with sensitive pups choose Brothers for this reason, but as always, consult your vet for specific concerns.
