Customer review: "Dogs self-regulate their food with a bowl down all day. This is perfect as they are very keen to eat it when hungry, but not so keen that they'll continue to eat it out of greed. Tasty enough that they'll consume this before almost any other option, including "softer" complete foods. None of them (two collies and a Basset Cross – renowned for greed.) are overweight, so does the job perfectly."

Our review: "I signed up to Butternut Box when my miniature dachshund Waffle, who was about 9 months old at the time, started to turn her nose up at the dry Royal Canin kibble that I had been feeding her since she was a little puppy. Even though she did graze on her kibble, I knew she needed more and she was a little underweight so I knew she needed something different, especially as she would gulp down every single type of human food we gave her. With that in mind, I tried a few wet foods, but she didn't touch them either. My friend then recommended Butternut Box (they tend to offer codes to new customers) so I got a discount on her first order. Getting the delivery was honestly so exciting, she even got a little bandana and welcome pack! The pack then suggested warming her new food up a little in the microwave to make it smell exciting and she gulped it down and has done ever since. I've never seen her wag her tail so much and her coat is so smooth and shiny, there is no doubt in my mind that she isn't getting everything she needs in her food. I would say it is pricey, though, and if I owned a larger dog, I would definitely struggle to afford it. It currently costs me about £44 a month."

Your dog's appetite often decreases as they get into their senior years as they slow down and become 'picky eaters'. Senior dogs are prone to joint, dental, stomach, and weight problems and need a little more tender loving care. This is why it is vital to make sure your dog is eating the right food. If your senior dog is turning their nose up at their food, Barking Heads create wet food for dogs that has been specially formulated for old, wiser dogs. The nutritionally balanced recipes contain optimal levels of protein and fat for your senior canine companion and taste great, too.

Customer review: "Seems like a great quality dog food, well packaged and contains a decent meat content plus added vitamins and minerals. My notoriously fussy Jack Russell seemed to love this, I got the beef flavour and he doesn’t usually like beef too much. There seemed to be no complaints with this one though. A touch on the expensive side but you have to treat your furry friends don’t you?!"

Customer review: "It's that age-old cliché, only the best for my dog. So, for years we had our dog on a very expensive, highest meat content food you could buy. With their prices rising to over £100 for an 11kg bag, I decided to take another look at the market. I came across Pooch and Mutt Primal and was blown away by the quality of their product compared to the price. It was an absolute no-brainer for me and Louis our Bedlington loves it too."
