“Butternut Box is one of the most innovative dog foods the UK & Ireland has seen. I recommend it to all my patients as a healthy, trusted and nutritious diet. All because it's freshly cooked and real meat, owners tell me even their fussiest pups love it.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Butternut is fresh dog food. That means we gently cook all of our recipes to make sure that we get rid of any harmful bacteria whilst also preserving the high-quality vitamins and minerals naturally found in our carefully selected ingredients.
We also offer a range of healthy treats and biscuits.

Yes, our dog food comes as part of a subscription and is delivered to your door every few weeks. You are in full control over your account and can easily pause or cancel if you don’t need a box. Our friendly Customer Love team is also always on hand if you have any questions or need some help.

We freeze our meals to lock in all the fresh and natural goodness. Your tasty meals will arrive frozen in an insulated box - ready to pop into the freezer or to defrost in the fridge.

Absolutely. Each of our gently cooked recipes have been developed to make sure your puppy is getting everything he or she needs to grow happy and healthy. All of the freshly prepared meat that goes into our meals is high-quality protein, which is good news for growing muscles. Plus, because our fresh meals are made using human-quality, everyday ingredients, they are easy to digest - especially for ever-changing tummies that are starting to develop and grow.

Treats and biscuits are available in your account alongside our meals. You can add them to your subscription or order them as a one-off to your box.

The amount that puppies need as they get older can vary, as they’re constantly growing! One they’ve reached their adult weight, it’s likely that they’ll need fewer calories to maintain their body condition which may mean their daily amount is smaller. With Butternut, your recommended plan will be perfectly portioned according to your individual pup’s needs and can be easily edited in your online account.

Once you’ve brought your puppy home, you can keep feeding them their old food for at least two weeks, so they have plenty of time to get used to their new digs before you change their food too. Once they’re settled you can start the swap.
Start slowly by introducing a spoonful of Butternut to the old food, gradually increasing it over 5-7 days. Be sure to slowly reduce the amount of old food at the same rate to avoid overfeeding.

For the first six weeks, you can start puppies off with free-feeding. This means letting them eat as much and as often as they want. This is because little puppies have little tummies (aw), so need smaller, more frequent meals so as not to overload them.
From there, you can start building your own routine to establish meal times and positive eating habits. As a ruff guideline, puppies generally eat x3 or x4 small meals a day up to the age of 6 months, before moving to x2 regular meals at 6 months onwards.

We think Butternut is better, and sets your puppy up for a happy and healthy life because:
- We use human-quality ingredients without any artificial additives
- Our food is gently cooked, not processed, which means we kill the bad without losing the good
- Our recipes are nutritionally complete, which means there’s always the right amount of vitamins and minerals for your dog
