Frequently Asked Questions

Here at Great Divide Pet Food we try our best to make things easy and accessible, but we know there’s a lot to take in. That's why we’ve put together answers to the questions people ask us most often. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, reach out – we’re happy to help!

I have a large group of folks that would like to order by the pallet – can Great Divide Pet Food help us?

Yes! Contact us to get details on becoming an Ambassador with Great Divide Pet Food where we can get you set up to order products by the full pallet! (You must have a delivery dock to unload the pallet(s) and freight charges will be added to these orders).

I’m not seeing a pickup location near me – do you ship?

If you are not located near one of our delivery routes we can ship product to areas that are within a 3 day UPS or FED EX Ground service from our location in Southwest Colorado. We do not keep extra inventory on hand other than starter packs so there will be a window of time needed to get the product you want ordered in and then shipped to you. Please contact us directly at [email protected] to receive a quote for a shipping order.

Do you have a storefront/retail location?

Great Divide Pet Food does not have a storefront or retail location – all orders are placed online and then delivered to the scheduled pickup location that you choose. We order into and work out of a large freezer storage facilty that is occupied by several businesses, where we sort large pallet orders and load for specfic routes.

Can orders be changed or cancelled after they have been placed?

In most cases orders CANNOT be modified or cancelled unless the order window is still open for your pick up location. You will have to contact us directly to modify your order once payment has been made. If circumstances prevent you from being able to pick up your order, please contact us directly so that we can arrange to either store your order (for a fee) or find an alternative pick up for you.

How much raw food should my pet eat each day?

Most adult pets should eat about 2.5-3% of their ideal weight in raw food each day, split into two meals. The exact amount depends on age, weight, breed and activity level. Use our feeding calculator to help you find the starting amount to feed for your pet.

How do I feed my pet raw food correctly?

How should I store raw pet food safely?

Always keep raw pet food frozen until you’re ready to feed it to your pet. When thawing, use the fridge and a sealed container to stay safe.

Do you have special holiday hours?

Yes, occasionally, holidays and other scheduling conflicts might change our regular routes, pickup days and times. Check our schedule regularly to see updates and plan ahead.

Where and how do I pick up my order?

Your order can be picked up at one of our set locations. We have set these locations to have lots of room for our big FREEZER truck and for many folks to pull up to get their orders. Please be on time so as not to disrupt our driver’s schedule – we have many locations to get to! Our driver will unload all orders for the pickup location, and in many cases will load it into your car for you. You can find the pickup spot closest to you on our Pickup and Distribution page.

How often can I place orders?

You can place orders regularly, usually once a month or once every other month. (Certain routes run every month, while others are on an every other month schedule). Check the dates and deadlines on our Pickup and Distribution page.

Can I order any amount I want?

Most products MUST be placed in full cases quantities. Each case has a set number of items, making it easy for us to offer low prices. Prices shown are per item inside the case. We do offer a limited number of products to be purchased by the single item or partial/mixed cases – you will notice pricing is higher on these items due to us having to break cases, repackage, relabel and store the remainder – our goal is to keep pricing affordable and we help do that by cutting sort and load time and by not keeping a large inventory.

What is a “Starter Pack”?

Starter Packs are smaller sets with a variety of raw food made especially for pets and their owners new to raw feeding. They’re great for testing out raw food without needing to buy a large amount. They are set products and cannot be customized. You can learn more about them here: Starter and Sampler Packs.

Do you sell individual items or only bulk orders?

We mainly sell bulk orders to keep prices low. We sell a limited number of individual items, however these items are priced higher due to having to break cases, repackage, relabel and store remaining product. We also offer Starter Packs, which allow new customers try a variety of raw pet food before buying larger quantities.

    Last week at vet: We are going to need to get him on kibble. My response: Hell will freeze over before I put my dogs on kibble. Don't talk to me about kibble ever again. I think she got my point.

    I have been feeding my dogs raw food from you guys for over 6 years now with 0 issues. I hate going to the vet because they tear me down about feeding raw. But my pets are the healthiest!

    Dena helped me get my dogs into feeding raw. She helped me figure out the right way to start it and now they love it, and every time my old girl gets picky Dena helps me figure out how to help her come around. 10/10 would recommend.
