Butternut Box is a UK-based fresh dog food company founded in 2016 that delivers gently cooked, human-quality meals by subscription. Each meal is tailored to an individual dog's needs, with recipes formulated to provide complete nutrition. The company has served over 315 million meals across the UK and Europe.
The product range includes standard fresh meals, a low-carbon recipe line, and what the company claims is Europe's first nutritionally complete vegetarian fresh meal for dogs. For every new customer sign-up, Butternut Box donates a meal to a dog in need through its Give-a-Meal programme. The company achieved B Corporation certification in 2022.
Customer retention is notably high: 80% of customers do not return to conventional dog food, and 96% report satisfaction with the switch. Ninety-two per cent say mealtimes are easier after adopting Butternut Box meals. The company was founded by two friends, Kev and Dave.
