Looking to purchase this food, but would like to know more about feeding practices, could somebody from Different Dogs or customers with experience tell me a bit more about how I would know how much to feed?
AimeeG 18 days ago
Is it suitable for a 5 month puppy - nutrient wise? Is it classed as a ‘complete’ food?
Steely one month ago
This food is a different level to what we’ve fed before (Lily’s Kitchen etc.) Our mini schnauzer absolutely loves it and is thriving.
Francesca one month ago
Does it still need a slow transition if switching from a different fresh food (Butternut box)?
Sim K N one month ago
How much of this should I be feeding my 9,5kg dog a day?

This is the best food we have tried for our almost 3 year old cockapoo. She was previously on Butternut Box, but she was diagnosed with epilepsy and I was unhappy with the high quantities of lentils, pulses and other fillers in BB. Different Dog does not contain any cheap fillers. We stick to the red meat recipes as poultry is also a seizure trigger for her. I am pleased to report she has not had a single seizure since January 2024 when we started her on this food. Another bonus: poops are much firmer and smaller, and no more stinky farts either - (turns out those lentils in BB weren't doing her bowels much good!) Very happy with this outcome - highly recommend.

Hi there! Thanks so much for leaving your comment. We're glad to hear your pup is thriving on our recipes!

Is this a complete dog food so i woudnt need to feed biscuits as well?
Sarah Different Dog ragdoll86 4 months ago
Hi, yes all of our recipes are complete and can therefore be fed as a balanced and complete diet. We have 13 delicious recipes across 7 protein sources to choose from so there's something for every dog.

Been using DD for a couple of years with our gang of 7 and it is without doubt outstanding quality. Customer service is spot on and managing the account very simple. Not cheap i grant you but worth every penny as our furbabies are all healthy and additional vet visits very rare. Plenty of recipes so they never get bored. Highly recommended
Sarah Different Dog S Mack 7 months ago
Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this fantastic review. We are so pleased to hear that your pack are still enjoying our recipes so much; it's a pleasure to cook for all of you!

Does anybody add this to their kibble as a topper?
Tammi Williams JJ1234 8 months ago
I use half kibble and half DD for my lot and have been doing this for about two years. All are doing very well. I have a German Shepherd/St. Bernard, a Beagle and a Chorkie and it seems very good for all of them.
Sarah Different Dog JJ1234 7 months ago
Hi, absolutely! Some of our customers choose to feed our recipes as a topper alongside other food, which is an excellent way of accessing the nutrients from our fresh ingredients. When you fill your details in on our website, you can select whether you want to feed it as a complete meal or as a topper which will automatically calculate the correct amount and cost for your dog.

Just had our first delivery of Different Dog & it looks great! My dog has epilepsy so I emailed to ask if there is any rosemary in the meals as it can apparently be a trigger and the team got back to me straight away to say it was okay for her, great customer service. There is a great variety of meals & I also love that the packaging is compostable and you can return the packaging, not many brands do this.
Sarah Different Dog Kate Lettie 7 months ago
Hi Kate, welcome to the pack! We are thrilled to be cooking for your dog and pleased to hear that you share our passion for sustainability. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if we can offer any further support for you and your wonderful pup in the future.

I switched to DD from butternut box as it's full of lentils. My dog also has seizures and it's so hard finding a product that doesn't contain rosemary. Thankfully my dog loves this food

Otis has been on different dog for a year now . He loves this except the fish supper one . He so active and keeps a healthy weight on it . Has turkey and venison recipes as said better for anal glands but still has problems with them. Vet said certain breeds can be prone . Wouldn’t feed my dog anything else but this food

I have 2 Yorkshire Terriers who have regular bouts of Colitis. Would Different Dog foods help?

I was recommended Different Dog by several practitioners in the integrative vet care world when my elderly dog needed something other than raw. I am a firm believer in feeding species-appropriate fresh food and this fitted the bill perfectly. There is plenty of variety in the recipes and they don't use cheap inappropriate fillers which is also important. My dog loves it and is thriving. I would definitely recommend it.

Different Dog has been an absolute game changer. After a year of runny poo, episodes of diarrhoea and weight loss a change to Different Dog a couple of months ago has resolved our dog’s sensitive tummy issues. We previously tried both Butternut Box and Marleybones but neither worked for him. It’s not the cheapest but worth every penny and I would pay twice the price if I had to. He also absolutely loves it (although he eats everything)! I’ve been warming it slightly through the winter - it looks good enough to eat! Such a great range with lots of proteins and healthy recipes to choose from. Highly recommended.
Jonathan Bore one year ago
I thoroughly recommend this food. My Welsh Terrier loves it and he is noticeably livelier, more alert and more attentive, and is now the right size - he was slightly overweight and sluggish before. He doesn't beg so much for human food either because he thinks every Different Dog dinner is fabulous.

Have just started using different dog, have been using butternut. Hoping change will help with our GSD puppy as he has skin problem. And as others have said I was a bit concerned with butternut fillers. Our pup eats anything so not about him being fussy. We are going for 80% × 20% dry as cost is prohibitive. Our other 3 dogs have home cooked with dorwest additives and cup of dry . With once a week butternut. Will let you know how pup does

I have just ordered Different Dog for the end of the month. Also changing from Butternut Box as my dog has skin problems as well. Have you seen an improvement??
Tracey Payne Jo McRae 7 months ago
Best thing ever butternut caused my dog awful skin since off it hes much better
Sarah 3 years ago
I love this food. I wanted to go fresh for my dogs and first tried Butternut box, but the legumes in all their recipes didn’t agree with one of my dogs.
I switched to different dog and it’s perfect. I love warming it up for my 15 year old dog to spoil her, she loves it and I feel good about giving her the best food I can.
Only downside is the different dog website, it definitely needs some work, but we get there in the end.
