My Portuguese dog really enjoys this food. We tried multiple brands before this and she’d leave most of it in the bowl. It’s also great to be able to choose recipes less likely to cause digestive problems. She suffers from colitis but now with DD food for half her meals and home cooked for the other half she’s hasn’t had a flare up for about 10 months!

Thank you so much for sharing this.
We’re so happy to hear your Portuguese pup is loving her meals, especially after trying so many other brands first. There’s nothing better than seeing an empty bowl where there used to be leftovers.
It’s also fantastic to hear she’s been flare up free for around 10 months. Managing colitis can be such a journey, so knowing she’s doing well with a mix of Different Dog and home cooked meals is wonderful. Being able to choose recipes that are gentler on digestion can make such a difference.
Thank you for trusting us to be part of her routine. We’re so pleased she’s thriving.

It took a while to find the right food for my puppy. He refused to eat many, had D&V with others and quite frankly a nightmare every meal time. I discovered different dog quite by chance, initially fed half and half (kibble) but still had diarrhoea, now he’s on purely DD. What a difference, he’s excited to be fed, jumping up as I’m measuring out. The quality, smell and look of the food is second to none, good enough for me to eat. Best choice I’ve made, stool formed, no malodour and he’s happy. Highly recommend.

We know how stressful (and exhausting!) it can be trying to find the right food when your puppy is struggling, so we’re absolutely delighted to hear what a difference Different Dog has made.
It’s wonderful that he’s now fully transitioned and thriving. That little jump-up when you’re measuring out dinner is the best sign of all!

From a simple search on Google for best dog food for senior dogs, to finding Different dogs & my dog certainly is a different dog and deserves this perfectly created food. I thought it was time to put the slow eating bowl away at nearly 12 years old, but might be needed. My dog Millie loves it and it is only day 3. Thank you to different dogs team for all the hard work that goes into creating a business like this. Sticking to their values and doing what is best for their consumer. Big thumbs up from Millie & owner

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that Millie is loving her food already (day 3 wins are the best!), and it’s amazing to know she’s enjoying mealtimes so much at nearly 12 years young. She sounds like a very special girl and totally deserving of food made just for her.
Your kind words about our values and the care that goes into what we do really mean the world to the whole team. Please give Millie a big cuddle from us and thank you again for your support.

The food and customer service is amazing
The food is amazing, my dog loves it and the customer service is second to none! They are a small business and so you definitely feel like they care about making sure you and your dog have the best experience. I'll continue to use them, the extra expense is 100% worth it. My father-in-law said that the dogs dinner looked better than his when he looked after her for the day!

It’s great to hear he gets excited when it comes out of the fridge and even better that he’s looking so well with a lovely silky coat. We’re also glad you appreciated the fully recyclable packaging. One very happy dog indeed.

My dachshund is a fussy eater
My dachshund is such a fussy eater. I was even forced to hand feed her prior to getting your food. I also purchased the Goat Milk topper from you and it’s been a game changer! We now have no problems at all with getting her to eat it and she licks the plate clean every meal time. It’s changed our household meaning no stressful mealtimes. I can’t praise you enough, the food even smells good enough for humans ☺️ A huge Thankyou

I’m not one for giving reviews but seeing as a small business has worked so hard I think they deserve some credit. Our rescue dog absolutely loves Different Dog and so do we. When we first got our dog we spent every other night cooking meals for him until we realised we could get Different Dog. It’s cheaper than making it ourselves, the ingredients are better and it’s so much more convenient. The hardest thing about it is remembering to take the next one out the freezer.. we can live we that.

Puppy is thriving and loving meal times
My 6 month old puppy is thriving and absolutely loving all the different recipes! The tail wagging and excitement at meal times is lovely to see! We have been using different dog from day one (4 months now) and will continue to do so. Customer service is amazing and got a personal call to see how my dog is getting on. Great selection of recipes and the best ingredients. A very big thanks Different Dog 😊

We’ve had a really positive experience…
We’ve had a really positive experience with Different Dog so far. You can tell the food is made with real, good-quality ingredients, and I love the idea of freshly cooked meals for my dog.
Max is quite a picky eater, so not every recipe was a hit for him at first – for example, the Shepherd’s Pie with mint definitely wasn’t his favourite, and the pork ragu with cranberry was also a bit too adventurous for his taste. But that’s more about Max being fussy than the food itself! The great thing is that it’s very easy to swap meals and adjust the menu to what suits him best, which I really appreciate.
It’s also all very new for Max, so we’re still discovering which flavours he loves most. Overall, I’m really happy with the flexibility, the quality of the food, and the care behind the brand. It feels good knowing I’m feeding my dog something wholesome and thoughtfully prepared.
Thank you for making such a great product – we’re excited to keep exploring the menu and find Max’s favourites! 🐾💛

Six weeks of Severe Pancreatis / Diarrhea Gone in 72 hours
Our 10-year-old German Shepherd was suffering repeated bouts of acute/severe pancreatis. We made repeated trips to the vet, prescribing diarrhea tablets, stool tests, special 'gentle digestive' dried food (we fed her Eukanuba German Shepherd) and finally home cooked chicken / rice. Nothing worked, the diarrhea became worse, and a very sweet natured dog became anxious, we had not slept all night for about 6 weeks. Whilst our vets have been incredibly supportive; I felt that investigating diet/digestion was a possible solution (we had rescued Misty as a 7-month-old, she had been abused and had severe anorexia). I found a trust pilot review from an owner whose dog had Pancreatis and that Different Dog had changed their life. With 4.9 customer satisfaction and excellent reviews (& excellent customer service team) I selected the low-fat fish and the low-fat turkey meals. Delivery was swift via DPD, they come frozen therefore one pack requires defrosting as one pack is being used.
To use the brand - I really do have a 'Different Dog' - it took about 72 hours for the diarrhea to stop. Her stools are firmer & less frequent than on her dried food. Drinking what seemed excessive amounts of water was not uncommon on her dried food, now it is a drink. She suffers with arthritis in her back legs, whilst this still causes her discomfort, she appears much livelier and definitely much brighter.
I am a huge fan of 'Different Dog', it really did change our lives and her 'Different Dog' dance at mealtimes is so funny, she gets so excited!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share Misty’s story, it truly means the world to us!
We’re so sorry to hear what Misty (and you) have been through. Repeated bouts of pancreatitis, sleepless nights, and seeing such a gentle dog become anxious is incredibly tough, and it’s clear how deeply you’ve cared for her every step of the way. Misty is very lucky to have you in her corner.
We’re absolutely delighted to hear that the low-fat fish and turkey meals have made such a difference for her, especially that her digestion settled so quickly and that she’s feeling brighter and more comfortable overall. Hearing that her stools are firmer, her drinking has normalised, and that she’s showing more of her personality again is exactly why we do what we do. And the “Different Dog dance” at mealtimes made us all smile, that excitement never gets old.
Thank you again for trusting us with Misty’s care and for your incredibly kind words about our food and our team. We’re so honoured to be part of her journey and are always here if you need anything at all.

Positive change
I have noticed a massive (and positive) change in my dog since introducing Different Dog to her diet. She went from being a reluctant eater (with a bit of a sensitive stomach) to a very eager eater. She loves all the recipes, with Chicken Casserole being a firm favourite. Very straightforward ordering/ delivery and great costumer service. I am really pleased with my experience overall.

Clover is 17 next month and is on the low phosphorous food for her kidney disease. She is blind and deaf but in great shape for her age and she loves this food. She has no signs of her kidney disease now whereas before she was very ill. The packaging is great too - cardboard and easily recycled. My only wish is that DD would do an insect based variety for those wishing to avoid meat.

Thank you so much for sharing Clover’s story with us. Seventeen next month is an incredible age, and it’s truly wonderful to hear how well she’s doing. We’re so pleased that our low-phosphorus recipe has supported her kidney health and helped her feel so much better, especially knowing how unwell she was previously. Hearing that she still loves her food means the world to us.
We’re also glad you’ve found the packaging practical and easy to recycle, sustainability is something we care deeply about. Thank you as well for your thoughtful suggestion around an insect-based option. While this isn’t something we currently offer, we really value feedback like this and will be sure to share it with our wider team.
Wishing you and Clover many more happy mealtimes, she sounds like an amazing girl!
