Naturediet is a great choice for fussy eaters because its recipes are packed with at least 60% high-quality meat and fish, making them naturally tasty and satisfying.

Each meal is steam cooked to gently lock in nutrients while preserving the natural flavour and aroma of the ingredients. This careful cooking process helps maintain the rich taste dogs love, without the need for artificial additives, making it especially appealing to dogs who are particular about their food.

We generally have very limited ingredient recipes, which is really helpful if your dog has lots of sensitivities, or you are trying to do an elimination diet. Our recipes are also formulated without common allergens such as beef, wheat and dairy.

When changing diet, we would suggest making changes slow and gradual over 7-10 days.

With any dietary change it’s not uncommon to see some loose stools and flatulence which can take up to 6 weeks for the digestive system to adapt.

We also offer variety packs, which can provide a good ‘taste test’ if you are unsure where to start.

For some dogs whether they are fussy, not very food orientated, or simply enjoy some variety, changing flavours can help make mealtimes more enjoyable.

Some dogs also tolerate minor dietary changes very well and thrive on products such as our Feel Good variety pack.

These recipes are all very similar, with the main difference being the protein source, for example fish or lamb or chicken.

However if your dog is particularly sensitive, or you are new to Naturediet, then you may need to make any dietary changes slow and gradual over 7-10 days.

The Purely diets are limited ingredient recipes, so are perfect for dogs with intolerances or those who are on elimination diets. They are simply 92% meat, topped up with vitamins and minerals. They are also more nutrient-dense options, so may be beneficial if a dog struggles to hold their weight. 

If you suspect that your dog has an intolerance to all grain, including rice, the grain-free diets are a good option to consider. They are lower in fat than the Purely range so are a better choice for dogs with grain-sensitivities which also struggle with keeping weight off.

All of the Naturediet products are balanced and complete, which means they can be fed alone and provide all the nutrients a dog needs. However if you want to mix in a dry food, you certainly can!

Firstly, we would suggest following our feeding guidelines for their ideal, current weight (essentially the weight you want them to be right now). But if you need to feed significantly below that to keep the weight off, that’s when a lower calorie diet such as Feel Good Fish or Senior Lite might be suitable. 

Try spreading your dog’s favourite Naturediet wet food on a Likimat or inside a Kong. This can help slow them down and also provide a source of enrichment while they eat!

Fish, especially Salmon, is a great source of omega-3 DHA and other essential fatty acids which can help to support the health of your dog’s coat, skin, heart and brain.

Chicken is a great source of lean protein which can aid muscle maintenance and repair.

Lamb is rich in iron which is fundamental for carrying oxygen around the body in the blood. It is a tasty alternative to chicken protein and can aid muscle repair and regeneration.

Treats and other ‘complimentary’ foods shouldn’t form any more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. Otherwise you may risk unbalancing the diet, or risk overfeeding and unwanted weight gain.
