Is raw dog food better than kibble?

Neither is automatically better for every dog. Raw feeding suits some owners and dogs well, while a good quality kibble or wet food suits others, and the right choice depends on your dog's individual needs, your ability to handle raw meat and freezer storage safely, and your vet's advice if there is any health condition to consider.

How do I switch my dog to Nutriment from their current food?

Introduce it gradually over a week or more, mixing increasing amounts of the new food in with the old rather than switching in one go, and watch your dog's stools and appetite as you go. If your dog has any health condition, speak to your vet before making the change.

Do I need a separate freezer to feed Nutriment?

Not necessarily, but you do need enough freezer space to store a delivery, which is worth checking before ordering a large quantity. Many owners manage with space in a standard freezer, particularly for a single dog.

Does Giddy Pets stock the whole Nutriment range?

No, we stock a selection from the wider range rather than every product Nutriment makes. What is shown in the grid above reflects what we currently have available to order, and that can change as stock does.

Nutriment dog food reviews

Nutriment is a UK brand that makes raw and gently cooked frozen dog food, built around meat, bone and offal formulas sold frozen and defrosted before feeding. We stock a selection of their range, and this page is about what the brand actually involves day to day rather than a rating out of five.

What raw feeding with Nutriment actually involves

Nutriment's products arrive frozen and need proper freezer space, since it is a format built around batches rather than a bag that sits in a cupboard. You defrost what you need, typically in the fridge, and feed it within the timeframe stated on the pack rather than leaving it out at room temperature.

The range includes complete raw formulas built around a specific meat, as well as some gently cooked and freeze-dried options for owners who want a raw-style diet without full raw handling. Recipes for puppies, working dogs and dogs needing lower-purine or more easily digested diets sit alongside the standard adult range.

What to weigh up before switching

Raw feeding is a genuine choice some owners make and get on well with, but it is a bigger commitment than opening a bag of kibble — it needs freezer space, careful handling of raw meat for hygiene, and a switch that is usually made gradually rather than overnight, particularly for a dog used to a different diet.

It is not automatically the right choice for every dog, and switching a puppy, an older dog, or a dog with an existing health condition is worth discussing with your vet first, since their needs may point towards a different kind of diet.

What we stock

Our range includes a selection of Nutriment's adult raw formulas, such as their raw lamb and raw turkey chubb options, alongside puppy and working dog recipes from the wider catalogue. We stock a selection rather than the brand's full range, and availability can change as stock does.

If you are new to the brand, starting with a single protein your dog already tolerates well is a sensible way in, rather than beginning with a variety pack across several different meats at once.
