Finally found something he eats and enjoys
Professional service, with a great variety of recipes, and regular updates on delivery. Our dog is finally enjoying his food and although still a bit fussy he already has his favourite Different Dog recipes. Using Different Dog has taken a lot of the stress out of feeding our dog and its such a relief to watch him actually enjoy his food as well as knowing it is all nutritious and healthy for him. Thank you. Would absolutely recommend Different Dog especially if you have a fussy eater like our Cavapoo.

Gave my dog his appetite back.
My 8 year old French bulldog had got to a point where he no longer seemed to have an appetite. I tried practically every food including transitioning to raw on the market and he just wasn’t interested. I saw different dog on instagram and thought I’d give it a go.
From his first meal he has eaten every last bit and that was over 2 months ago.
I can’t recommend it enough.

A very happy English Springer Spaniel
Food arrives when required and easy to amend delivery date to suit. So far our very picky ESS has cleared her plate everyday. We do a mix feed of a bowl of Kibble and a bowl of Different Dog food and you can guess which one goes first !

Fussy Cavapoo loves this food!
With a very fussy eater Cavapoo I have tried many premium dog foods but nothing 'sticks' but this food has been a huge success and on the second order Ivy is still loving this...no hesitation, just wolfs it down.

Happy JRT!
Finally found meals my dog Theo thoroughly enjoys… hasn’t missed a drop since first bowl! I liked that there were several recipes that didn’t contain chicken, therefore alleviating his itching! Thank you for contacting me to say one will contain chicken in future so I will be in touch to choose an alternative recipe.I have no hesitation in recommending Different Dog!

We will look into this for you first thing in the morning and resolve it. If a payment has been taken for a box you don't want, we will of course refund that in full.

Benjie has been very ill.It was touch…
Benjie has been very ill.It was touch and go and I was desperate to find something he would eat that I could get his meds into him with. Different dog has been wonderful. He loves it, no need to worry about the meds, he licks every dish clean, and when we ran out on our trial package, they arranged an additional delivery to arrive within a day. Wonderful service, fussy dog loves it, He went for his 1st walk for several weeks yesterday and is on the mend at last. Couldn't have done it without you.

This has genuinely made our day! We’re so sorry to hear how poorly Benjie has been, but it’s incredibly heartwarming to know he’s now on the mend and enjoying his food again. Especially at such an important time.
Being able to help him take his medication and get his appetite back is exactly why we do what we do. And we’re so glad the extra delivery helped when you needed it most. Wishing Benjie lots of continued strength and recovery and many more happy walks ahead.

Dear Anne,
This is Alex, co-founder of Different Dog. Thank you for your feedback and sincere apologies for the concern caused.
I have looked into this and can see we refunded you in full and cancelled the subscription first thing this morning, following your email last night. The original email given for your trial purchase was unfortunately entered incorrectly, so any previous correspondence had bounced.
We set up Different Dog to change dogs' lives with real food and are so sorry your dog did not enjoy the food. I have fed your comments back to the kitchen team who care passionately about dogs health and wellbeing and we will review our recipes to see where we can improve. If you have any questions please don't hestitate to contact me at alexandra@differentdog.com.
With best wishes and apologies again,
Alex
More than happy with how my two dogs…
More than happy with how my two dogs enjoy the food, Luka always takes 10 minutes to start any food, which he still does, but the difference is when he is ready to eat he eats it all up, not like other foods that he seems to leave some. This is the great difference. Coby being younger wolfs it down, & will eat Lukas too if I am not careful.

This is brilliant to hear! We love that Luka is finishing every bowl once he’s decided it’s time, and Coby clearly isn’t wasting any time either.
That’s exactly the difference we love to see, happy dogs, clean bowls, and no leftovers. Thanks so much for sharing!

When my dog Dottie was diagnosed with both Pancreatitis and Kidney Disease finding the right diet for for her was a real struggle. I then came across Different Dog and we haven't looked back. Dottie is now doing so well on their Low Purine & Phosphorus diet which excludes all the things that are bad for her and more of the things that are good for her. She also loves it - a real bonus.

I have my old dog back thanks to this incredible company and their product. My 12 yr old Frenchel was on the brink of arthiritis after two osteo-fractures and obesity. Our vet recommended this product and we tried it out following the feeding guidelines ( we had no idea we were overfeeding him for his weight). Two months in and four kilos lighter , he looks like a younger , healthier version of himself

Happy dog, happy owner
I’ve been extremely impressed with both the customer service and the overall ease of using the website from Different Dog.
Everything feels straightforward, well thought out, and genuinely dog focused.
The variety of menu options is fantastic, and after spending a long time researching alternatives to my dog’s previous diet, I feel completely confident in the quality and nutrition they provide. Making the switch was a big decision for me, but I can honestly say I have no regrets at all.
The only downside for me is purely budget-related, as I’m currently feeding a mix rather than going 100% with Different Dog, but that’s no reflection on the product itself. I wish I could use it exclusively!
The most important issue is, Lola, my Japanese Spitz absolutely loves it and seems really happy and thriving. I think it’s a wonderful product and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a healthier, high-quality option for their dog.

Excellent quality food for my whippet
Excellent quality food for my whippet. He has Inflammatory Bowel Disease do finding a diet that keeps his guts happy as well as his tastebuds is definitely a trial. Since adding Different Dog to his prescription diet his poo’s have been much better. He’s allergic to chicken and beef so fortunately there are alternative flavours he enjoys—turkey and pork. Hoping Different Dog adds in a duck recipe soon.

We’re really pleased to hear your whippet is doing well alongside his prescription diet and that you’ve seen such an improvement in his digestion. We know how challenging it can be managing IBD and food sensitivities, so it’s wonderful that he’s enjoying the turkey and pork recipes and that things are more settled for him.
We really appreciate your feedback about flavours too, it’s always helpful to hear what dogs are loving and what you’d like to see next. Thank you again for your kind words and support, it means a lot to the team.
