I was a Darwin customer for 5 years

I was a Darwin customer for 5 years. My cat was doing ok on the food, however, as time went on, there were multiple occasions involving poor and dangerous handling of the raw food during delivery. I have received beat up boxes with thawed out deliveries and blood contaminating everything!! Contacting customer service was useless, even with photos sent. Darwin's customer service model is one that lacks accountability. So, I finally cancelled my Darwin subscription.

Reply from Darwin's Natural Pet Products

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and for being a customer with us for five years. I’m truly sorry for the issues you encountered with your deliveries and for the frustration you felt when reaching out for help. Receiving thawed or damaged raw food is unacceptable, and so is feeling unheard when you try to resolve it.

Your feedback is important, and we take concerns about food safety and handling very seriously. We’ve been working closely with our carriers to address packaging and transit issues, and we’re also improving our internal processes to ensure that situations like the ones you described are handled promptly and with accountability.

I understand how disappointing this was, especially after so many years with us, and I’m sorry we fell short of the standard you and your cat deserve.

We love Darwin's!

We have given our dog Darwin's raw meat since a pup - he's now 13, still healthy, although slowing down. Our holistic vet encourged us on our last visit to keep his Darwin diet, reduce his kibbles, to maintain his appropriate weight. We're happy with our relationship with Darwins - always attentive to our needs, always helpful with our autoship.

Hi Judith, thank you so much for sharing this. It’s wonderful to hear that your dog has been enjoying Darwin’s since he was a pup, and at 13, staying healthy (even if slowing down a bit) is something to celebrate. We’re also glad your holistic vet encouraged you to continue Darwin’s diet to help keep him at a healthy weight.

We truly appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us over the years. It means a lot to know that your experience with our team and your autoship has consistently felt attentive and helpful. We’re grateful to be part of your dog’s journey.

customer service saved the day

The product is great but the Shipping is not - using ground shipping for frozen food means i get at least 6-8 meat packets that come in completely thawed and unusable. (the high possibility of e coli makes this "iffy" to serve my dogs) I was ready to just stop my subscription but the rapid response and understanding from customer service convinced me to try again. Our next shipment is scheduled in May so we shall see how the product arrives then.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for giving us another chance after the issues you had with shipping. We’re very sorry that some of your previous orders arrived with thawed packages; that’s not the standard we aim for, and we understand how concerning that can be when handling raw food.

I’m glad to hear our customer service team was able to respond quickly and support you, and we appreciate your willingness to continue with your upcoming shipment.

Best customer service

Darwin's is always on-time, communicative, and has amazing customer service. I have had instances where the box was out too long while I was away, or accidentally got delivered to an old address in my account (my mistake), and they promptly corrected it free of charge. And my dog absolutely loves it!

Very helpful with deliveries

Very helpful with deliveries, changing the timing and place as needed . Deliveries are sometimes complicated within condos, and they are able to assist in managed somewhat difficult delivery instructions.

Hi Kimmie, thank you so much for sharing Jackson’s story. An 11‑year‑old Great Dane with that much health and enthusiasm is something truly special, and it means a lot to hear how much he loves his Darwin’s meals. Wanting to keep him healthy and by your side for as long as possible is something we deeply understand, and we’re honored to play a small part in his care. Hearing that his vet thinks he may become the oldest Dane he’s ever seen is incredible. What a testament to the love and dedication you’ve given him.

Dramatic Drop in Care and Quality

I am normally very satisfied with my deliveries, however this month’s experience was drastically different. I received notification that a product was going to be shorted on my order but complimentary beef liver treats would be included instead. The product was shorted, but I also received no treats. The raw food that did arrive came in a severely damaged box. When we opened the package, nearly half of the frozen raw food packages were busted open and broken. Everything was still frozen so we were able to repackage the food for proper storage, but this was a rather concerning experience overall.

My 20 month male and female cats thrive with Darwin's

The fresh raw meat for my cats is a hit! They love it! It is delivered in larger quantities, which is easy to store in the freezer and thaw when needed. My cats had gotten to the point they didn't want the wet food that I was previously feeding them. I did some research and came across both Darwin's and Smalls brands of raw food for cats. I purchased both brands to try. My cats enjoy Darwins way more. It is also easier for me to serve them the Darwin's brand over the Smalls brand because it isn't as messy when spooning it out of it's packaging. I am very pleased with the value I'm receiving and more importantly that my cats are thriving with food closer to nature for them.

Looked around a lot for the ingredients u had! Wanted duck based. She developed chicken allergy. Tolerates turkey and duck which
I bought. Still transitioning. She’s very picky for past 3 mos fed canned with a spoon figured I’d switch to raw since that was working. Hopefully her sodium level will go down on raw , we just did bloodwork. Another reason I switched. The veggies are great will help keep her kidney and liver balanced. Also elevated. Thank you!

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful update. It sounds like you’ve been incredibly intentional in finding the right proteins for her sensitivities, and I’m glad you were able to get the duck and turkey options she tolerates well. Transitioning a picky eater is never easy, so it’s wonderful to hear she’s accepting the raw so far.

I really appreciate you sharing the context around her recent bloodwork, too. We’re grateful you chose Darwin’s and truly hope this transition continues to help her feel better.

Darwin's Delivery doesn't own their mistakes.

I canceled my subscription because I changed my shipment date to 3/16 and received a shipment on 3/4, with a shipment still scheduled for 3/16. I don't have that much freezer space and Darwin's chatbot said, "well, that happens sometimes." That told me Darwins really doesn't care they screwed up and didn't own their mistake, so I canceled my subscription.
