How We Got From Sack to Pack

We love our dogs, even more than some humans we know. The idea of feeding our dogs from the same, generic 20-pound sack just didn’t make sense.

1.

One Size Doesn't Fit All

We questioned why all dogs are fed the same - an old Lab like a young Shih Tzu - and realized it didn’t make sense.

2.

Feeding Was a Guessing Game

We saw first hand how scooping from a big sack results in overfeeding or underfeeding, leading to a range of health issues.

3.

Nutrients Were Being Lost

Every time the sack is opened, exposure to air and moisture degrades quality. That explained why our dogs lost interest in their food as the weeks progressed.

4.

Convenience Was Missing

No less important, the sack didn’t work for us. As busy pet parents we needed something simple and easy, without compromising on quality.

5.

The Environmental Impact

Finally, the traditional sack is bulky, wasteful, and rarely recycled. We knew there had to be a better way.

FAQ

Why Daily Packs are better than the traditional food sack?

We created Daily Packs to solve three major problems with traditional 20-pound bags: nutrient degradation from repeated air exposure at each feeding, lack of personalization in one-size-fits-all nutrition,  and overfeeding due to  inconsistent measuring. Each Daily Pack is individually sealed to lock in freshness, pre-portioned to prevent overfeeding and sized to minimize waste - giving your dog optimal nutrition with zero guesswork.

How do Daily Packs stay fresh without refrigeration?

Mills Daily Packs contain premium dry food that's gently cooked and raw-coated with freeze-dried protein, making them naturally shelf-stable. Each pack is sealed immediately after production, protecting nutrients, flavor, and quality from oxidation until you're ready to serve. Unlike traditional sacks opened repeatedly, every Daily Pack delivers maximum freshness at mealtime - no refrigeration needed.

Can I customize Daily Packs for my dog's specific needs?

Absolutely! At the heart of Mills Daily Packs is the idea that one-size-fits-all nutrition does not make sense given the differences in dog needs. Our Smart Customization Calculator tailors each Daily Pack based on your dog's breed, age, weight, activity level, and allergies. Whether your pup needs weight management, has food sensitivities, or requires nutrition for high energy demands, we create a personalized formula with exact portions designed specifically for them. Learn more about how customization works.

What ingredients are in Mills Daily Packs?

Meat is the first ingredient in Mills Daily Packs. It is covered with an additional layer of freeze dried protein for added protein and flavor, is made with all natural ingredients, and is completely grain-free. Our formula includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for coat health, prebiotics and probiotics for digestion, and glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support. We never use corn, soy, wheat, or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. See full ingredient details →

Whether your dog is 5 pounds or 150 pounds, we calculate their exact requirements and portions accordingly.

Are Daily Packs eco-friendly?

Yes! Daily Packs use significantly less packaging than traditional 20-pound sacks and are made with recyclable materials.

I have a picky eater. Are they likely to eat Daily Packs?

Most picky eaters love Daily Packs. The premium ingredients taste (and smell) significantly better than filler-heavy foods and our food is coated with freeze-dried protein that adds natural flavor dogs crave. Many dog parents report that dogs who previously turned up their noses at meals now get excited at feeding time.

How do I transition my dog to Mills Daily Packs?

Transition gradually over 7 days by mixing increasing amounts of Daily Packs with decreasing amounts of your current food. Start with 25% Daily Packs and 75% old food for days 1-2, then 50/50 for days 3-4, then 75% Daily Packs  and 25% old food for days 5-6, and finally 100% Daily Packs by day 7. This gentle transition helps prevent digestive upset and allows your dog's system to adjust to the higher-quality, more digestible nutrition. See more about switching to Mills Daily packs.
