Big taste, for big dogs.

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.
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.


Meat, fresh veg and a sprinkle of herbs – proper ingredients chosen to make every bowl tasty, nourishing and packed with goodness.
Our protein-rich meals are made with slow-release carbohydrates to help keep dogs feeling fuller for longer.

"My German Shepherd was beyond fussy and we tried everything to get her interested in food with expensive kibble to cooking dog food for her. It wasn't until we found Butternut Box 4 years ago that she started to enjoy food again. The recipes are varied, extremely nutritious and she is now 12 years old and very healthy. Service is 100%. Couldn't recommend them more."

"After trial and error with some other well known brands, we were struggling to keep weight on our 10 month Golden Retriever. I decided to look into this a bit more, and ultimately Butternut Box was the winner. It may seem more expensive to the shop shelf dog food. However it is made of natural ingredients, no hidden additives, and it comes in bulk which is super convenient. We know there is always decent quality food there for our dog. He has also filled out nicely, and gone from 25.1kg to 32kg in a few months, the ideal weight for him. The customer care is also excellent!"

Our border collie (Stan) was a fussy, nay, reluctant eater. Often had upset tummy, often walked away from food. We spent a lot of money trying to find something that would tempt him to eat. About 6 months ago, a friend told us their dog loves Butternut Box so we decided to try it. We haven’t looked back! Stan loves the food and boops his bowl to let us know he is ready for more! The vet has commented on his perfect weight and lovely shape. We’ve also had lots of compliments about his beautiful glossy coat. We’ve also never thrown any away as Stan licks his bowl clean! So glad we gave it a try. Highly recommend.
