Our vet says our dogs' weight is perfect, their coats are glowing, and their health has never been better.

Reggie is a rescue dog from Romania who joined our family in December 2020, he was 4.5 months old. As Reggie is an active dog, Butternut was a natural choice. We wanted food that had no preservatives and was packed full of quality meat and minerals. Reggie loves feeding time and can’t eat it quick enough, he loves the biscuits from the Butternut treat box as well.
Reg age 4 is barmy, bonkers, ball obsessed Boston Terrier. He weighs between 10+11kg. I've had Reg since he was 8wks old, he was possessed then and still is now, he makes me laugh everyday. He started on Butternut about 18 months ago because he has some allergies and this fitted him perfectly, suits his itchy skin and he no longer break dances trying to scratch his back. Empty bowl within a few seconds twice a day.
Betsy was rescued by her owner Dorothy from Romania where she was homeless. Since arriving in the UK Dorothy has been feeding her Butternut, and the improvements in her weight and coat are amazing to see.
As a gorgeous Labrador puppy I thought she would eat everything in sight, but no! Turns out she is a fuss pot. I struggled to get her to eat anything until I found Butternut. Now she comes downstairs in the morning and wags her tail so hard she knocks things over! A happy doggo is a happy owner! We love Butternut.
After Treacle turned 8, it was clear that age was catching up. She had slowed down on walks and I knew this grand lady needed a change. I wanted to make sure I was going for quality both in terms of ingredients and nutrition and then ....along came Butternut. This isn't dog food- it's a lifestyle for Treacle. Her coat is better, her gut on point (if you know what I mean) and her energy is up and I just know I'm doing the very best for her. Add in the great Butternut team and we both couldn't be happier.
Remus was tied up to a gate as an unwanted puppy when he was just 5 months old. We saw him for the first time on Wild at Heart Foundation’s adoption page and his big brown eyes called out to us! When he arrived he was underweight with a dull coat and a terrible tummy! We didn’t know what breed Remus was but we loved that Butternut allowed us to tailor his food to his weight, and this could be amended as he grew. Remus absolutely loves his food, so much so we have to continually think about how to slow him down eating it; slow feeding bowls, kongs, puzzle toys - we have them all! He’s been a Butternutter for 9 months now. He has a beautiful shiny coat, he’s strong, lean and is in great shape. For us, we love how it is so convenient but there is no compromise on quality. And it is reassuring to know his food will be delivered on time to our home every 2 weeks.
I have a 2 year old Schnoodle boy and a 10 week old Schnoodle girl, Reggie and Marni. Reggie was a picky eater when we first got him. We tried various diets and brands, it’s a minefield. We even tried raw food diet. Thank god we gave Butternut Box a try. He loves it. We brought Marni home 2 weeks ago and tried continuing with the kibble that the breeder gave us but she wasn’t eating it. I checked the FAQ’s on Butternut Box website to see if it is suitable for puppies and it was. Marni wolfs it down and is growing nicely.
Rex is a french bulldog who was plagued by severe allergic skin reactions in his first 2 years, we were going to the vets every 2 months with terrible flare ups. He was also extremely gassy and prone to diarrhoea. After starting Butternut Box it all went away!!! He has perfect skin and a perfect coat! no more tummy upsets!!
Wren is a springer spaniel with 1/4 Labrador in her (somewhere!). I got her at 8 weeks old when she was fed on dry food. She never seemed interested in her food, it didn’t excite her and she didn’t eat much. She’s an incredibly active springer who loves life and has that zany springer personality. I wanted food that would excite her, that she would enjoy and that I could be sure was tailored to her breed, how active she is and her weight and size. Now she loves mealtimes. Butternut smells and looks so good I’m sure I could eat it! And it’s always just there in the fridge, I never have to worry about running out. Wren is healthy, super fit and active and I never worry about her nutrition or the amount she eats, it always disappears very quickly at mealtimes!
Boris and Wilf were suffering from itching dry skin and after trying lots of different treatments nothing seemed to work. Then we saw an advert for Butternut and thought we would give it a try and within the first week we noticed they stopped itching and their skin completely recovered.
Minstrel is a 6 year old Papillon. He loves all the usual doggy things like long walks, games, watching television and also appreciates classical music. He enjoys sitting under the grand piano whilst I practice each day, often chewing a doggy stick. He seems to particularly enjoy Chopin. The reason I changed his diet to Butternut was because he was losing the thickness of his coat. I was very worried about this and took him to the Vet who wanted to do all sorts of tests. I didn’t go ahead with any tests. Instead, after considerable online research into what to feed a dog, I started feeding him a Butternut diet. I began to see a slight improvement after the first two weeks and then within a month his coat was back to show ring quality again. I think his previous diet had led to poor nutrition and coat loss. Butternut has restored his coat beautifully and also he has more vitality in his general behaviour. I highly recommend Butternut and only wish I had known about it sooner.
Reggie is a french bulldog who’s 2 years old and he spent the first year and a bit with nothing but stomach problems and couldn’t keep anything down, he was lethargic, underweight and never wanted to eat so I decided to try Butternut Box and he’s never been happier! He looks healthier, he eats every meal like it’s his last and I couldn’t recommend any more than I do! Amazing service!!!
My name is Humphrey, I’m a nine year old rough coated Jack Russell, I love to play fetch, I am a keen swimmer, but hate to get wet.... my favourite things are cuddles on the sofa with mum and a blankie, until my mum decided to make the change from Raw food to Butternut Box I used to really suffer with sore patches on my skin, I even had bald patches where I had chewed myself ( very embarrassing) within two weeks of changing my menu choices my red sore areas had gone, I love it... I have popped a few pounds on but mum says that’s due to me being middle aged (like her) my coat now is long and fluffy and I must say I am looking rather gorgeous, I really enjoy the different flavours, especially the Chicken You Out, I also received a few ‘pressies’ from my new ‘chef’ and I love Monkey, I have told my friends all about Butternut Box and now some of my pals also now have a special delivery each month... from Humphrey-thank you.
Our 4yr Labradoddle Florence has always been a fussy Madam. She would turn her nose up at every brand we tried.... Butternut was number 14 !!! Been on it for two years now so looks like we finely cracked it....
