The Nutriment Company described The Dog’s Butcher as a “pioneer” of raw pet food in the UK, highlighting its use of “high-quality, hand-picked ingredients”, sourced locally from regions such as Cornwall and Devon in south-west England. 

Founded by Joanne and Daniel Mcmahon, The Dog’s Butcher offers more than 100 minces, chunks and bones.
