A purrfect option for my good girl
I swapped my cat onto raw food as I wanted to do everything I can for her to be a healthy weight and have a long life. I was previously feeding a different raw brand but swapped to Poppys Picnic as it’s portion controlled and I only need to defrost the exact amount I require. I can see the quality of ingredients in the meatballs and she loves them. Her coat is silky and now I can monitor her calories easily. The customer service is great and delivery is quick and easy.

Excellent quality food
Excellent quality food. My rescue working cocker loves it and she’s fussy after a bad start in life with a high worm load and gastro issues.
Delivery is swift and well packaged.
I wish you did a freeze dried raw kibble - then I could buy all my food from you.
Love supporting a great quality, well priced, great service company.

The best dog food
The best dog food! I honestly would never change it. My dog likes to eat it frozen he has the powerballs. So I just pop out the amount he needs - utter bliss.
Only 4 stars due to packaging. Better insulation is needed. I’ve had past issues where the food has come completely deforested which they resolved (communication top tier) but then it happened again a few months later - no ice packs just polystyrene sheets inside. I was tempted to try other brands but honestly it’s the best food! I wish one day they will be able to stock in pets at home or at least every Asda so I can just collect it.
Our dogs been on poppys for about 2 years. We have used various well known raw food before and poppys is just 10/10 for food qualities

Reply from Poppy's Picnic
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it means the world to us! We’re over the moon to hear your dog loves the Power Balls and that you’ve been ordering from us for over two years. That’s the biggest compliment we could ask for.
We’re sorry about the packaging issues you have experienced. There were some challenges earlier this year with our dry ice supply, which affected a small number of deliveries and it sounds like yours has been one of them. Thankfully, this has now been fully resolved, and our packaging process is back to where it should be. We’re also continuing to trial improved insulation options to ensure everything arrives perfectly frozen every time.
And yes, one day we’d love to see Poppy’s Picnic in Pets at Home! Until then, we’ll keep working hard to make your deliveries as smooth and reliable as possible.
Thanks again for your loyalty and kind words and do reach out anytime if we can help further.

First class product, service and communication.
Firstly, their product saved my Cat's lives. Both suffering from Hypothyroidism, one worse than the other.
Secondly, nothing is too much trouble for them. There have been a number of occasions when I have miscalculated the packs I needed, once I had made contact, they were so quick to respond and sorted it out so I didn't run out.
Lastly, their communication is brilliant, I always knew what was happening and when.

Excellent food
Excellent food, my Welsh terrier started on Poppy’s Picnic puppy food & progressed to adult meals. She is now 7.5, fit, healthy with great teeth. I would highly recommend PO’s raw food, it’s natural & the only thing we add is a spoonful of bran to help with her bowels & prevent impacted glands.

Excellent quality food and good customer service
I have a Shih Tzu who can be fussy. I find the meatballs great as she can have them either dry fried or raw. I like the high meat content, and the well sourced and good quality ingredients.
I did have a problem with one delivery where the chicken meatballs were defrosted . A phone call and a refund was issued with no hesitation so excellent customer service and I am happy to recommend.

Excellent freshly frozen dog food
Excellent freshly frozen dog food. My 2 labs aged 13months have had poppys picnic since they were little. And the very fuzzy labadoodle we now has likes it too.Theres several flavours they have tried but the chicken and lamb ones are their favourite. There's no rubbish in them, they are idea tray sizes. If you bulk order on subscription you save money and just put them in the freezer and take out as needed. I take 2 days worth out at a time and put them in the fridge. Excellent supreme quality raw high protein dog food. They do cat food too.

We love PP food!
Ordering and delivery all good.
My dogs love PP and it’s the one raw dog food that they poop without needing extra veg.
My only slight negative, is the package.
The cardboard outer is good, it’s just the plastic inside, as you need to wrap it.
I’d prefer a lid.
Still love the food though!

Never looks as advertised
Never looks as advertised, will arrive with some partially & others fully defrosted. So some obviously wasted.
When contacted about this they say I'm the only one, yet on a Facebook page I'm plainly not the only one!
& to add insult to injury you can only
order in set amounts.
I am no longer subscribed & both our dogs are on a different food.

We’re sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.
It’s never our intention for any of our food to arrive in anything other than perfect condition. We take great care with our insulated packaging and delivery process, but clearly something went wrong here.
We’re also sorry to hear you felt dismissed when raising this with us. That’s certainly not how we want anyone to feel. Your feedback matters, and we take concerns like yours seriously and we’re continuing to work closely with new packing materials and couriers to improve consistency.
Although we’re sad to hear you’ve moved on, we wish you and your dogs all the very best and thank you again for trying Poppy’s Picnic. And if there is anything I can do, please reach out to me at paws@poppyspicnic.co.uk as I would love to help and turn this around.

Liked by cat
One of my cats loves their little chicken meatballs style raw food. It's very easy to portion the raw food as it's in little meatballs.The only think I wish they did was better options to change the frequency of your subscription - at present you can choose the date for your next delivery but not the frequency i.e every 2 weeks.

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, we’re thrilled to hear your cat is enjoying our little chicken meatballs! They’re a firm favourite with quite a few feline fans.
Regarding the subscription, it sounds like there may be an error as you should be able to set a regular frequency, including options like every 2 weeks. We’ll be in touch next week to take a closer look and see what we can do to sort it for you.

Our dogs love the Power Balls
Our dogs love the Power Balls, as tiny dachshunds its really easy to get their portions right with serving them a set number of balls and the vet is always really pleased with their weight and condition. They are healthy with beautiful shiny coats.
The subscription model makes it easy to always have it in the freezer and at no point in the 3 years we've used Poppy's Picnic have the dogs left the food or decided not to eat it. Also their poos are much less disgusting to deal with!

Hello Ursa
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback — it truly means the world to us!
We’re so happy to hear that your tiny dachshunds are thriving on their Power Balls — and extra points for making portioning a breeze! It’s fantastic to hear they’re keeping a healthy weight, have shiny coats, and most importantly, happy tummies (and less-offensive poos too — always a win! )Three years of clean bowls and wagging tails is exactly why we do what we do, and we’re so grateful to be part of your pack’s journey.
