A note from our Founder

I've spent nearly twenty years in this industry and I watched the same pattern over and over again. A brand launches online, adds crazy markups, then drifts away from the dog parent who needed them most. Unconditional is the version of pet food I always wanted to build. We own the factory, we make the food ourselves, and we put it on the shelves of stores whose people know your dog by name. That's the whole idea.

— Avrum

Four reasons our air-dried is different

  • Cooked slow and low.

  • Less filler, more food.

  • Made in our factory.

  • No middlemen, no markups.

Air-drying gently pulls moisture out at low temperatures. The nutrients stay in the food instead of cooking out. The meat stays meat instead of becoming a pellet. The kind of food that ends up on a shelf, not in a freezer.

Take the water out and every scoop is denser in protein, fat, and the vitamins dogs actually absorb. A smaller scoop than kibble. A fuller meal in the bowl.

Find a store near you

No contract manufacturer between the recipe and the bag. We own the building, the lines, and the twenty-five years of air-drying experience under one roof. What goes in the bag is what we put there.

Owning the factory means no contract manufacturer adding a margin, and no subscription brand adding another. The savings stay in the bag. About 40% less than comparable air-dried brands, sold at the pet store you'd visit anyway.

Sold by people, not algorithms

We don't show up in your feed. We show up on a shelf.

A great pet store is one of the warmest rooms in any town. Bells on the door, a dog or two behind the counter, people who light up when you walk in with yours.

Unconditional is sold there intentionally, where the experts behind the counter love dogs the way you do.
