FAQ
Questions we actually get.
Everything you want to know about the food, the Vending Machine, subscriptions, and how this whole thing works. If something's still missing, just text us.
The Food
-
Chicken recipe: chicken, brown rice, oats, tomato pomace, beet pulp, marine microalgae, vitamin blend, salt, dicalcium phosphate, soybean meal. Lamb recipe swaps chicken for lamb, adds yeast, and removes soybean meal. All ingredients are Colorado state-compliant and posted publicly on our label. We're legally required to be transparent — and we'd do it anyway.
-
We are AAFCO certified to be an all life cycle food — all that changes is feeding instructions and amounts.
-
Yes. We carry both chicken and lamb recipes. Lamb is a good option for dogs with chicken sensitivities. Let us know which recipe you want when you start your subscription, and we'll note it for every delivery.
-
It depends on the allergy. Our full ingredient list is posted publicly — check it against your dog's known sensitivities. If you're unsure, text us the ingredient in question and we'll tell you exactly what we use. We don't guess on allergies.
-
In a sealed Goobr container stored at room temperature, food stays fresh for 4–6 weeks. In the Vending Machine, food is stored in climate-controlled stainless steel silos and rotated every 90 days. Compare that to a bag of kibble that may have been in a distribution center for a year before it hit the shelf.
Subscription
-
Subscriptions start at $30/month based on your dog's size. When you're running low, text us and we'll schedule a delivery. We come to you and fill your container — on the porch, no signature needed, you don't even have to be home. Each delivery takes about five minutes.
-
It means we fill your container every time you text. No per-pound charges, no delivery fees, no limits on how often you can request a fill. Your monthly price is the total cost for one dog. We've designed the model so frequent customers aren't penalized — if your dog eats a lot, that's fine.
-
Each additional dog is $15/month. Three dogs or more need to be set up manually — call or text us at (720) 978-9174 and we'll take care of it.
-
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Text us and we'll stop the subscription. If you cancel mid-cycle, you keep the food already delivered. We're not in the business of holding anyone hostage.
-
Denver Metro and the Front Range: Denver, Thornton, Boulder, Golden, Littleton, Centennial, Greenwood Village, and surrounding areas — south to Larkspur, east to Bennett. We don't currently serve mountain towns. Not sure if you're in range? Text us your zip and we'll check.
-
Subscription billing is handled securely through Stripe. You'll get a link when you start — card on file, charged monthly. If something goes wrong with billing, we'll reach out directly before anything is interrupted.
The Vending Machine
-
4822 South Newport Street, Denver, CO 80237 — near Belleview Station Dog Park. You can use Google Maps or the Find Us page for directions and a map. Parking is available on the street.
-
The Vending Machine is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No scheduling, no appointments, no waiting. Show up whenever works for you — 6am, midnight, whenever.
-
Bring a container (or grab a Goobr bag at the machine for $6.99). Tap the screen, select your recipe, choose a size, and pay by card or phone. The dispenser fills your container directly. The whole process takes about two minutes. No app, no account, no setup required.
-
Yes. The Vending Machine is climate-controlled and airtight. Food is stored in food-grade stainless steel silos and rotated every 90 days. The machine is solar-powered and remotely monitored. Compare that to a bag of kibble that sat in a distribution center for a year before hitting a shelf.
-
Text us at (720) 978-9174. We monitor the machine remotely and restocking is usually same-day. If you drove out and it's not working, let us know — we'll make it right.
-
No. The Vending Machine is walk-up and pay-per-fill. No account needed. It's a good way to try the food before committing to a subscription.
Containers & Packaging
-
Subscription customers receive a Goobr container when they start. At the Vending Machine, reusable Goobr bags are available for $6.99. They're built to last — we priced them so customers actually reuse them instead of grabbing a new one every visit.
-
Yes, and we encourage it. Any clean, food-safe container works. Bring a bin, a bucket, a Tupperware — as long as it's clean and food-safe, the Vending Machine dispenses directly into it.
-
For subscription customers, yes — when we come to refill, we swap for a clean container. The empty one gets cleaned and returned to circulation. That's how we keep the system zero-waste. At the Vending Machine, it's yours to keep and bring back next time.
Getting Started
-
Click "Start Subscription" on the homepage, or text us at (720) 978-9174. We'll get your address, confirm you're in the delivery area, choose your recipe, and send you a payment link. First delivery is usually within a few days.
-
Yes — walk up to the Vending Machine and buy a small amount. No account, no commitment. The Vending Machine is at 4822 South Newport Street and open 24/7. You can also text us and we'll work something out.
-
Text us. We'll talk through it — sometimes it's a transition issue (switching foods too fast), sometimes a recipe preference. We've never had a dog that just won't eat, but if yours is the first, we'll figure something out. Cancel anytime, no questions.
-
Text or call Tage directly at (720) 978-9174. You can also email info@goobr.com or find us on Instagram at @goobrcolorado. We're a small team. Tage actually picks up.
