Prompt delivery. Quality of meats is excellent. I have no idea if it’s possible to package the meat in a biodegradable product whilst maintaining food safety standards?

Customer service great. Selection, availability and quality has dropped in recent months hence only 4stars.

Great dog food, novel proteins.

I've always found The dogs butcher to be a great company, and they do some unusual novel proteins for dogs that you can't get anywhere else. I will continue feeding TDB to my dog and would highly recommend. The only thing I would say is that DPD let both them and myself down. Absolutely no fault of TDB, they sorted things out quickly and couldn't have been more helpful.
DPD took the food back to the depot at the end of the day, when they should have delivered it in the time slot given, seeming to ignore the label on the box that states it should be delivered today. This isn't the first time this has happened with frozen raw dog food in recent months, and the same scenario played out with another supplier recently. Will buy the TDB and others from shops when possible in the future, and I certainly wouldn't trust DPD to deliver in the summer months.

quality very poor

I have been feeding this brand for 7 years and ever since it was sold to Dibo, the quality has gone downhill.
for about a year now the minces are full of fat and gristle. The price is so high for the quality. I found loads of chunky pieced of bone in every other mince and could see it reflected in the dogs stool. both my dogs have actually had several incidents of upset stomach since August and so I will never use Tdb again. id rather feed my dogs wet food and kibble than this brand ever again.

Awful quality and equally bad customer service

I have been buying boneless turkey chunks for about 3 years. On their website the photo is of pink, oval looking pieces and that’s what they have always been like, good quality. I opened a packet from my recent delivery and the meat was brown/grey in colour and smelled different, it was also very large pieces. I took photos and emailed the Dog’s Butcher and received a reply with an apology and offering a refund. I confirmed I wanted a refund and asked them to collect the meat, I had 38 kg and no method to dispose of it. I then received an email stating the meat was turkey and just starting to oxidise but again confirming a refund. I asked for a refund asap and stated the meat must have been left out for some time ie days for the oxidation to be such a dark colour and so deep into the meat. I have not received a refund and my subsequent emails have been ignored.

Really helpful.

After being messed about by the delivery company, Dog’s Butcher went out of their way to ensure that a replacement order reached us in perfect condition. Thank you x.

Always good quality food

Always good quality food, one of the few companies that have a non bone in option that my dog needs for his condition. Not cheap, as he’s a big dog but worth it to maintain his healthy state.
