Research has shown that almost 50% of dogs in the UK are overweight and many are obese. This can put a lot of stress on your pups body, leading to long term health conditions.

The good news is that slimming down your dog can reverse many ill effects, and that’s where Butternut Box can help!

You might find it tricky to work out how much your dog should be eating: it depends on their age, their current weight, how much exercise they’re getting and what shape they’re currently in. Our advanced nutritional calculator does all of the hard work for you, and works out an ideal portion size for your overweight or obese dog.
Our chicken and turkey dishes contain less than 5% fat, whilst still being delicious. If you’ve got a specific goal weight in mind, we recommend you keep in touch with our Customer Love team and we monitor your dog’s progress together. Almost like your very own doggy weight woofers! You’re also in complete control of your plan and are able to choose the best recipe to suit your dogs needs.
Our freshly prepared meals are made with the freshest ingredients. Our carbohydrates come from lentils and legumes rather than grain. Lentils are a rich source of protein, B vitamins, iron and soluble fibre. Fibre does way more than just keep your dog regular. Evidence shows that diets higher in this rough stuff slows down the rate of digestion, which helps to manage a dog’s appetite by allowing them to feel fuller for longer.
Butternutters tell us that their pups have healthier skin, higher energy levels and their stools improve on our food. The quality of our ingredients may have something to do with that.
Healthy mix of vegetables containing natural prebiotics.
Our meals are 60% fresh, human-grade meat. All our protein is sourced in the UK.
