Different Dog launched their Health+ range to target specific health conditions.
Speaking to helloBARK!, Different Dog shed light on their Health+ range.
The range has been created with certain health conditions in mind. We target things like obesity, joints, kidney, digestion and heart health, which are all concerns we have heard on a regular basis from our customers.

It has been developed by Different Dog’s in-house nutritionist and vet and tested at independent labs. All the recipes in the Health+ range are comprised of 60% UK meat with 40% fruits, vegetables and superfoods.

Our Verdict

I own two fussy Alaskan Klee Kai so I have tried a lot of different dog food brands over the years. Different Dog is always a hit in my house.
A lot of dog food companies claim to have meals that are human-grade or tested on humans but Different Dog really do offer enticing meals that smell just like a proper meal you or I would eat.
It’s reflected in the empty bowls that are licked clean by both my picky eaters.
Skye has suffered with a sensitive tummy in the past but she really enjoyed her Different Dog meals without any issues.
What Customers Have To Say
Different Dog get an average rating of 4.8 stars out of 5 on independent review website Trustpilot. Over 91% of reviewers gave a five-star rating.
One customer was thrilled to see their dog devour Different Dog.
I have tried so many dog foods and finally after five years I have found one he likes. I love everything about Different Dog. It looks and smells great. Love the packaging but most of all, love the fact my extremely fussy dog cleans his plate. I shall be recommending Different Dog to ALL my doggy parent friends!
Trish was impressed with her dog’s improved energy levels.
Belle loves her new diet! After a very fussy Westie not eatting well and trying lots of options – we have found the one she loves! The variety of flavours keeps her keen, she seems to have more vitality and her coat looks great.
Maxine revealed her fussy Poodle is a big fan.
I have a very fussy Toy poodle and have been searching for a food for him since he was a puppy (he is now 4!) Many a battle with raw, kibble and tinned food. I am delighted to say that he does eat this food, albeit with a sprinkle of cheese on the top, but I am thrilled that he finishes his plate. The food is beautifully packaged, environmentally aware and very easy to use.
