Who We Are
Spot & Tango is a pet health & wellness brand on a mission to make mealtime better for dogs, and life simpler for the people who love them. Our recipes are developed by leading animal nutritionists, and are made with only real, human-grade ingredients... and nothing artificial. Through UnKibble™ and our original fresh-frozen line, we’re rethinking what feeding your dog well can look like, one bowl at a time. Since our founding in 2018, we have served over 200 million meals to happy pets across the US and Canada.
We’re a team of builders, problem solvers and dog people, united by the belief that dogs deserve better. We’re looking for people who want to do the best work of their career, dig into challenges with smart people, and help shape a brand that’s redefining an entire category. This is a chance to join a high-growth e-commerce company and have an outsized impact in a fast-paced, ambitious environment. Plus, you get to think about dogs all day.

Since 2018, we’ve been cooking up fresh, whole ingredient meals personalized for dogs at prices humans can afford.

Our recipes are made with only whole vegetables, fruits, grains, and meats that we’d eat too. Plus, every vet-formulated meal plan is delivered directly to your door and completely customized to your dog’s weight, age, activity level, and health goals.
