Feeding a Fresh Food Diet Can Appeal to Fussier Breeds of Dog

Fussy pup? No problem.

Updated yesterday

Our delicious Fresh food is a tasty prospect even for the fussiest dogs. Which is a good job, as 45% of customers who turn to Butternut consider their dogs ‘fussy’ or ‘very fussy’. But the palatability and variety we offer, combined with our 10-point plan for ‘fussy’ dogs means it always goes down a storm.

Show me the science

Daily TrustPilot reviews suggest Butternut diets are being devoured by dogs who reject other foods. So we teamed up with the Clinical Animal Behaviour department at Edinburgh University to learn more.

Together, we set out to see whether there’s a significant correlation between breed and fussiness. Here are a few standout discoveries:

  • Labradors are less fussy than non-Labradors (surprise, surprise) - 15.3% less fussy, in fact

  • Poodles and Poodle-mix breed dogs (Cockapoos, Cavapoos, Yorkipoos etc) are 12.7% fussier breeds than non-Poodle breeds

  • Poodles are fussy no matter which country they come from. But Poodles from Belgium are the fussiest of all, and Poodles from the Netherlands are the least fussy
