Recipes
What recipes does Different Dog offer?
Different Dog describes its meals as gently cooked in small batches. Three Bird Roast combines duck, chicken and turkey with cabbage and parsnip; Atlantic Salmon pairs salmon and white fish with vegetables and mint.
The recipes arrive frozen, so allow freezer space rather than cupboard space. Calories are not published on the open label pages, so a calorie-based grams-a-day calculation is not possible for these meals.
These are cooked, frozen meals; ingredient descriptions alone cannot establish the daily portion.

How ordering works
How does the subscription work?
First box
“20% off your first 2 boxes + free treat! Use code REAL202”differentdog.com
Delivery
“Orders from our online store are usually delivered within one – five working days of the order being placed.”differentdog.com
Pause or cancel
“If life changes, pause, cancel or tweak your plan anytime.”differentdog.com
Start with questions about your dog's age, breed and weight, then choose meals. Different Dog advertises 20% off the first 2 boxes plus a free treat with code REAL202. This is an introductory offer, not the ongoing price.
The brand says subscriptions create regular orders until paused or cancelled. You can pause, cancel or tweak the plan anytime, but stopping an already invoiced order requires contacting it with at least three days' notice.
Check the next invoice before cancelling; account cancellation alone may not stop an order already being processed.
Delivery and storage
Where does it deliver?
Different Dog delivers to England, Wales and selected parts of Scotland, excluding the Highlands and islands. Its online store gives a usual delivery window of one to five working days.
The brand describes the packaging as resealable and plastic-free. It advises putting food in the freezer on arrival if it is still cold to the touch. If it is not, contact the brand: it says it will investigate and offers only one reshipment for defrosted items.
Check delivery coverage and make freezer space before ordering.

Owners and recalls
What do reviews and recall searches show?
Trustpilot rated Different Dog 4.8 out of 5, labelled “Excellent”, on 21 October 2026. The review count was not visible during the check, so no count is reported here. This is Trustpilot's rating, not a rating awarded by this site.
A food.gov.uk search on the same date found no recall notice naming Different Dog. That is a search result, not a guarantee.
The Trustpilot score and recall search answer different questions; neither establishes suitability for an individual dog.
Same dog, other brands
What do other brands cost?
For the same 15 kg adult, Natures Menu Country Hunter 80% Chicken Nuggets works out at £3.91 a day using its online store's one-time price. Lily's Kitchen Fresh Recipes Chicken with Quinoa is £11.22 using its online store's one-time price. Both prices were checked on 21 October 2026.
The table uses an estimated 801 kcal a day. Recipe calorie density changes the grams needed, while price per kilogram determines the cost alongside that portion. See how the calculations work.
Compare the same calorie allowance and price basis, not equal pack sizes.

Who it fits
Does Different Dog fit your routine?
Different Dog may suit owners who want cooked meals delivered frozen and a plan they can pause or change online. It requires freezer storage and attention to invoice timing.
Owners who want to calculate portions and compare costs before answering a questionnaire have more to work with in the alternatives table. For a puppy, weight-loss plan, allergies or a medical diet, ask your vet.
The practical fit depends on freezer space, subscription management and how much information you want before ordering.

Questions
Different Dog: short answers
How much does Different Dog cost?
Ask for the ongoing price for your dog's plan, rather than treating the introductory discount as the regular cost. Different Dog says all its prices include VAT.
Are Different Dog reviews on Trustpilot positive?
Trustpilot labels the brand “Excellent” at the dated check above. That is an aggregate owner-review rating, not evidence that a recipe will suit every dog.
Can you cancel Different Dog?
Different Dog says you can pause, cancel or tweak your plan anytime. If an invoice has already been generated, the order still processes unless you contact the brand with at least three days' notice.
Is Different Dog raw or cooked?
Different Dog describes its food as gently cooked in small batches. Meals are delivered frozen, and the brand advises freezing them on arrival if they remain cold to the touch.
How are the daily comparison portions calculated?
The comparison uses FEDIAF, AAHA and WSAVA calorie estimates, then converts calories into grams using each recipe's label. These are starting points: adjust the amount if the dog gains or loses weight.
