Natures Menu dog food — an honest look
Natures Menu is a UK brand best known for raw and natural dog food, including its Country Hunter range. We stock a selection from it rather than the whole catalogue, and we don't publish customer star ratings, so here is what the brand actually is and what to check before you buy.
What Natures Menu actually is
Natures Menu has built its name around raw and minimally processed dog food, sold frozen or freeze-dried rather than as a standard tinned or dry product. The pitch is a diet closer to what a dog would eat unprocessed, built around named meat proteins rather than generic "meat and animal derivatives".
The Country Hunter line sits within that same raw and natural positioning, and the brand also makes mixers and toppers for owners who want to add a raw or natural element to an existing diet rather than switch over completely. It is a brand built around a specific feeding philosophy rather than one trying to be everything to everyone, which is worth knowing before you compare it against a mainstream dry food on price alone.
What we stock, and why we don't do star ratings
We stock a selection from the Natures Menu range as part of our raw and natural food, which changes as availability changes — what is shown in the grid above reflects what we currently have in, not the brand's full catalogue.
We don't run a review or star-rating system, because a handful of unverified comments would tell you less than the honest specifics: whether a food is raw or freeze-dried, which protein it uses, and whether it is meant to replace a meal or top one up. Those are the things worth checking against your own dog rather than a rating out of five.
If you are moving a dog onto raw or freeze-dried food for the first time, do it gradually alongside whatever they currently eat, and keep an eye on how their stools and appetite settle over the following couple of weeks rather than judging it after one meal.

Common questions
- Is Natures Menu a good brand of dog food?
- It is a well-established UK brand built specifically around raw and natural feeding, which suits owners who want that style of diet. Whether it suits your dog depends on their age, size and any sensitivities, not the brand name alone, the same as with any food.
- Does Natures Menu need to be kept frozen?
- Their raw ranges are typically sold and stored frozen, thawed before feeding, while freeze-dried products are shelf-stable until opened. Check the specific product's storage instructions on the pack, since raw and freeze-dried ranges are handled differently.
- Why doesn't Giddy Pets show star ratings on brand pages?
- We would rather you compare the facts that actually matter for your dog, such as the protein used and whether a product is a complete meal or a topper, than a handful of unverified star ratings that tell you very little about your own dog's needs.
- Do you stock the whole Natures Menu range?
- No, we stock a selection rather than every product the brand makes. What is shown in the grid above is what we currently have available to order, and that changes as stock does.
