A bit about us: Different dog was founded to change dogs' lives with real food.
Having seen behind the curtain of the processed pet food industry, we decided to do things differently.
We are a subscription-based business delivering hand-cooked food made with fresh, quality ingredients to your dog.
No one else is making dog food like us (in the UK at least).
Our nutrition score on the site allaboutdogfood.co.uk is 96%, and we've had countless 5-star Trustpilot reviews telling us the impact our food has had on the wellbeing of our customers' dogs.
We are a team of passionate dog owners who believe that nutrition matters, and that a diet of only processed food is not the way to health and happiness.
