Making our Meals

    We're really proud of how we make our fresh meals - the Butternut method is quite different to the rest, you see.

    The Butternut food promise

    Human-quality ingredients

    Never any nasties

    Taste-tested by humans

    Step 1

    Start with real ingredients

    Each ingredient is carefully chosen to improve your dog's health. We only source from trusted suppliers who know their onions. (Or peas, as dogs can’t eat onions).

    Fresh ingredients

    Step 2

    Gently cook at 90°

    We cook low and slow - no harsh temperatures or high pressure here. This removes bad bacteria from raw meat, but keep all the nutrients and flavour.

    Step 3

    Portion, Freeze and deliver fresh

    Our food doesn’t sit on a shelf or use anything artificial to stay fresh. We simply freeze like you would at home, so it stays as fresh as the moment it’s cooked.

    A very healthy dog

    “Highly recommend this dog food. Ive given my little dog Butternut for over 3 years. He's now 7 and continues to love the recipes. He's also a very healthy dog. The food arrives each month, easy to change recipes or delivery date on the very easy to use app. We never run out because it's easy to stock up in the freezer”

    Healthy and nutritious

    “Butternut takes my dogs needs into consideration, he loves the food, and actually enjoys meal times again. The food looks healthy and nutritious and he has lost some weight and looks fitter than he ever has for a thirteen year old dog with health problems.”
