Hi. Have you found a alternative yet. Do you think it may be the starch? Because some horses go hyper when they get food with starch

Just to add my similar experience here, I had been feeding my dog Butternut box for a few years, and was pretty happy with it. Recently, though, my dog has had episodes of severe diarrhoea a few hours after eating the food. There were no other changes to his diet or anything else he’d eaten that would account for this but his food. We’ve now switched to a different supplier, but I have photos/batch numbers from the packets that caused his upset stomach, if it would be of use to Butternut box in figuring this out..

They are on and they seem to be better than this cold press and the lightly baked has alot more meat content

Anyone else had an issue recently with the biscuits being half the size and almost smell like cat food?

If you crush the bulb first and let rest for 15 mins then feed its fine. I wouldn't feed my dog the amount suggested for his weight as I'd worry that would be way too much but a small amount is fine.

Hi, from you saying 180g per day with this product it seems your dog is an adult weighing about 8kg (please correct me if I’m wrong). With raw the usual amount to feed (for an adult pet dog that doesn’t need to gain or lose weight) is between 2 and 3% of the dogs body weight, with most being between 2 and 2.5%. For your 8kg dog that would be between 160g and 240g per day so 180g seems about right. I had a look at a couple different popular raw dog food brands (benyfit natural, paleo ridge, naked dog etc) and they all seem to be around the same as paleo ridge. I’m not sure why Natures Menu has such a high feeding guideline but I’m not a massive fan of their ingredients anyway so would opt for paleo ridge definitely between the two, hope this helps! :)

This is interesting to hear. My old girl Lady had been on Butternut for years with no issues. In March she was very poorly for a week, awful diarrhoea that just wouldn't stop - back and forth to the vets the same as poor Cinammon, and tests showed nothing. At that point, Lady point blank refused to eat Butternut anymore, so I had to find something else for her. I did think it may have been the food then as she had never not eaten Butternut before, but after absolutely would not go near it!

I don't think he needs 1.2kg of meat a day?!

WilsonsMum

do you find the portion recommendations to be right? x

WilsonsMum

it says my pup needs 3 cans a day? surely that can't be right.. he's only a 12kg cockapoo..

Could you add a cost per day to the second half of the calculator? I'm finding that the listed recommended amount of food is wildly off for my dog quite often so the normal calculated cost per day is also miles off!
