My Take on Ultra Premium Direct: Finally Quality for Your Pets!

Do you have a cat or a dog and want to ensure you provide the best for them? That's completely understandable, as they are truly a valued member of your family. Unfortunately, the food available at supermarkets is often of average quality and can, over time, affect your pet's health.

As a proud owner of both a cat and a dog, I've had the chance to try out some kibble made not far from where I live: I'm referring to the brand Ultra Premium Direct, and I’ll share my thoughts on it in the following lines.

The samples are available in the section of the same name, which you can find in the main menu of the Ultra Premium Direct website.

Where are Ultra Premium Direct kibble products made?

One of the major positives of Ultra Premium Direct is that all the food sold on the site is made in France, in a factory located in Lot-et-Garonne. This factory adheres to strict standards regarding safety and hygiene, and is approved by the State.

Want to see how the kibble is made? Watch the video!

The raw ingredients used to make the kibble and wet food are processed in European factories, and then they undergo quality checks before being turned into the finished product at the Agen facility.

👉 Wet food is also made in Brittany and Normandy.

Of course, since this is a French brand, customer service is based in France and located at their facility in Lot-et-Garonne. When you contact Ultra Premium Direct, you can be confident that you are speaking to a knowledgeable representative based in France, not a subcontractor.

What do veterinarians think about Ultra Premium Direct?

Ultra Premium Direct foods are made with the help of veterinary nutritionists. They are formulated to meet the true needs of your pet, which is a carnivore. You'll find grain-free formulas or those with very little grain, that are easy to digest and balanced.

👉 The Ultra Premium Direct products adhere to the nutritional recommendations suggested by most veterinarians. Their dry food, wet food, and treats are free from preservatives, artificial flavours, and colourings.

Each ingredient is verified and tested by the partner veterinarians of Ultra Premium Direct. The aim is to ensure that as many as possible are of natural origin.

What commitments does Ultra Premium Direct have towards animal welfare?

The welfare of animals is a crucial part of the ethics at Ultra Premium Direct. For the founders, it's not just about selling food; it's also about using their brand image to make a difference.

In 2022, Ultra Premium Direct joined the 1% for Animals initiative. This means that 1% of the total revenue from labelled products (puppies and kittens) is donated to organisations that protect animals.

Find out about the actions taken thanks to the 1% for animals

Created by the YouCare association, this label aims to preserve global biodiversity. Thanks to the funds raised, numerous initiatives for animal welfare are undertaken:

  • Rehoming of abused animals,
  • Support for shelters,
  • Protection of endangered species,
  • Rescue of wild or farm animals in danger...

What are the prices at Ultra Premium Direct?

Since this is a premium pet food, the prices are not the same as what you would find in supermarkets for budget kibble. However, I find the prices offered by Ultra Premium Direct to be quite competitive. Let’s take a closer look at what budget to expect.

Why Choose an Ultra Premium Direct Subscription?

The Ultra Premium Direct subscription is incredibly convenient. Each product has its own separate subscription that you can cancel at any time. This means that if you want to stop receiving treats while still having dry food delivered to your home, you can do so.

This system also allows you to eliminate the mental load of buying pet food. It happens automatically, and you'll receive the food that meets your pet's needs delivered to your door.

Ultimately, the main benefit for you is that this subscription allows you to save money effortlessly. A 10% discount means you save $10 on every $100 spent. That’s not to be overlooked!

🤑 With the subscription, if you pay around $30 for dry dog food each month, you'll save $36 a year, which is like getting more than a month free!

Is there a commitment with Ultra Premium Direct?

If you subscribe to a product, there is a commitment to two deliveries. This includes the delivery made at the time of subscription, followed by another one. It quickly pays off!

What are the different delivery frequencies available?

Here are the various options that Ultra Premium Direct offers for delivery:

  • 1 month,
  • 6 weeks,
  • 7 weeks,
  • 2 months,
  • 10 weeks,
  • 11 weeks,
  • 3 months,
  • 4 months,
  • 5 months.

How to Choose Your Delivery Frequency?

The easiest way is to use the tool provided by Ultra Premium Direct for each product when you select the subscription option:

Ultra Premium Direct delivery frequency

Based on your dog's weight, this simple little program will calculate their kibble consumption and suggest a delivery frequency to ensure you never run out! From personal experience, it’s really reliable. 😊

Can I change the delivery frequency later?

Of course! If you notice that you have a lot of kibbles left or, on the contrary, you’re running low too soon, simply log into your personal account to easily change your delivery settings. However, there's one condition: to ensure your change is processed, you need to do it at least three days before your order is sent. Worried you might forget this date? No need to worry, Ultra Premium Direct sends an email a week before your package is dispatched.

👉 If you'd rather discuss this directly with an advisor, you can simply call Ultra Premium Direct at 📞 05.64.25.03.08 (local call rates apply) from Monday to Friday between 9 am and 6 pm.

Is there an Ultra Premium Direct gift card? 🎁

No, it doesn't seem to me that there's currently an option to order an Ultra Premium Direct gift card. However, I encourage you to check the website for yourself, as this information is accurate at the time I'm writing this review. 😉

    My verdict on Ultra Premium Direct ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    As I write this review, I've just placed my third order with Ultra Premium Direct. I've signed up for a subscription to receive food for my dog in kibble form and food for my cat in tins and kibble. The packages arrive roughly every two months for the dog and every three months for the cat.

    Is it easy to order from Ultra Premium Direct?

    When I discovered Ultra Premium Direct, I immediately found the website very straightforward compared to other online pet food stores like Zooplus or Pet.co. There’s a good selection, but it’s easy to find the food you need thanks to the menu.

    When it comes to prices, they are definitely higher than what you would find at the supermarket, but the quality is much better!

    What’s my take on Ultra Premium Direct dog food?

    Dog kibble is very well packaged and looks high-quality. Visually, it is not greasy. Additionally, it doesn't have a bad smell. My dog finds it very appealing and has no issues with it. He has a nice coat and hasn’t vomited since he started eating it.

    What’s my take on Ultra Premium Direct cat food?

    The cat biscuits and pates seem just as good as the food I buy for my dog. They are specifically designed for sterilised cats, which helps prevent my cat from gaining weight. The option of 7 kilos sterilised + 72 cans for $90 works well for me and lasts about 3 months. I'm really happy with it!

    What did I think of the delivery?

    Delivery is a real bonus with Ultra Premium Direct: it is fast and efficient! Once the order is placed, the kibble always arrives within 24 to 48 hours.

    Is the Ultra Premium Direct subscription worth it?

    As this is a free subscription that offers a 10% discount, I found it to be a great deal! However, I might have preferred there to be no requirement for two orders, as I'm not sure if I can transfer it from one product to another if the food doesn't suit my pet. Personally, I did a trial run without a subscription the first time before signing up. Since then, it’s been really convenient and I no longer have to worry about buying kibble!

    Ultra premium direct chat

    Have I encountered any issues with Ultra Premium Direct?

    Personally, I haven't experienced any particular issues, but I'm very available for delivery since I work from home. For someone who is out during the day, it might be convenient to be able to choose the delivery time during the day.

    In conclusion, my opinion on Ultra Premium Direct is very positive: I’m pleased with these kibbles and the well-being they bring to my pets. I'm also happy with the professionalism of the company: I would recommend it 100%!
