Do large dogs need special food?

Large dogs have different nutritional needs to smaller dogs, but they don’t necessarily need a completely different kind of food.

What matters is feeding them a nutritionally-complete diet with enough quality protein and calories for their individual needs.

That’s where a personalised plan can help.

Why Butternut Box is great for large dogs

Tailored meal plans

Large dogs may have big appetites, but overfeeding can lead to weight gain. We’ll recommend a daily portion based on your dog’s size, age, activity level and body shape.

Happy dog, happy human

"I am so glad I switched my dog's food to Butternut!!!! Lots of different recipies to chose from and my dog loves them all. I was looking for a healthier food option for her as she was struggling to lose her extra weight. She is now at her ideal weight, healthy and has a lovely healthy coat too."

Overweight Dachshund

"Fantastic! My Dachshund was overweight, started him on Butternut Box and he loves it. Lost all the excess weight. Can’t wait to run everyday. Best thing I could have done for him."

Hard to believe

"Hard to believe we had a fussy but overweight Labrador who ate slowly and would then guard his bowl from our other dog, but since changing his diet to Butternut he hoovers it up in no time and has lost nearly 3lb in weight already. His poos are much better and they haven’t got the pong they used to have. No more guarding issues either. His fur is softer and shinier. He loves his new food and we’re really impressed with the results. Would definitely recommend."
