By dog size
How much will a dog need?
A 15 kg adult needs an estimated 616 g a day using Butternut’s stated average of 130 kcal per 100 g. That calorie figure covers its recipes on average, rather than being specific to Chicken.
The estimated portion rises from 245 g for the 5 kg adult to 1,602 g for the 30 kg working dog. These are food quantities, not priced plans; a monthly budget needs your personalised daily quote.
Use the portion estimate to understand the plan, not to infer its price.

Butternut’s pages show different introductory messages: 25% off the first 2 boxes with free next-day delivery, and a separate sign-up offering 50% off the first box. Check which offer applies at checkout.
Neither percentage is the ongoing plan price. Compare the discounted boxes with the full price shown for your plan, rather than treating an introductory saving as a lasting daily cost.
The advertised offers differ, so check both the discount period and the price that follows.

What moves the price
What changes the daily cost?
Weight, activity and neutering affect estimated calorie needs. For the 15 kg adult, the methods give a range of 747–854 kcal a day; less calorie-dense recipes require more grams for the same calories.
Butternut says its price depends on food quantity, recipe choice and delivery frequency. Some recipes cost extra, while larger deliveries less often can reduce the daily cost and delivery charges.
Check recipe extras and delivery frequency alongside the amount of food.

What do similar brands cost monthly?
For the same 15 kg adult, Natures Menu Country Hunter 80% Chicken Nuggets costs about £119 a month at its website’s one-time price, checked on 21 October 2026. Bella + Duke costs about £170 at the Pets at Home shelf price from that date.

How the numbers are made
How are these estimates calculated?
Calories are estimated using FEDIAF, AAHA and WSAVA methods; grams use the brand’s stated calorie figure, and costs use dated listed prices with a month defined as 30.4 days. These are starting points: ask your vet about your dog’s needs, especially puppies or medical diets, weigh your dog monthly and adjust; see the calculation method.
Estimated portions are starting points, not fixed feeding instructions.
