Who Are Pooch & Mutt
Pooch & Mutt UK are a pet health and food company founded in 2007 by Guy Blaskey, that creates a wide range of natural meals, treats, and supplements for dogs. Guy established Pooch & Mutt after his own dog was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, leading him to research and develop natural supplements and eventually a full range of health-focused food products with healthy ingredients, probiotics, and prebiotics.
The company offers a wide range of products, including grain-free dry and wet food, health-focused treats, Pooch & Mutt puppy food and a range of supplements designed specifically to support different aspects of your dogs health, from digestion and joint health to coat care.
The core principle of Pooch & Mutt is the use of high-quality, natural ingredients, avoiding "nasties" and "junk" and many of the products are vet-approved, with specific product lines even offering prescription diets for dogs with sensitive conditions.
How Does Pooch & Mutt Work?
Pooch & Mutt works by offering natural, functional dog foods and supplements designed to support health and behaviour, with recipes targeting digestion, skin and coat, joints, weight management and calmness. Their products are free from artificial additives and include extras like probiotics, vitamins and herbs to keep your dogs healthy inside and out. You can buy Pooch & Mutt directly from their website, where they run a flexible subscription service that delivers food to your door at a discount, or pick it up through major retailers such as Pets at Home, Amazon and Sainsbury’s. This mix of targeted nutrition and easy purchasing makes the brand a convenient alternative to standard supermarket dog foods. Unlike to of the other home delivered service, if you run out of food it is reassuring to know that you can pick up this quality food from local retailers rather than having to wait until your next delivery.
Pricing
Pooch & Mutt sits in the premium end of the UK dog food market, with prices reflecting its natural ingredients and functional recipes. Their dry food typically costs around £15–£17 for a 2 kg bag, while larger 10 kg bags come in at around £55–£60. Wet food is more expensive per serving, with individual 375 g cartons usually priced at £2–£3, or around £23–£25 for a multipack of 12. Treats, chews and supplements tend to range between £3–£12 depending on the product.
To help with costs, Pooch & Mutt offers a flexible “Subscribe & Save” service that gives up to 25% off regular deliveries, plus free UK shipping on orders over £39.99. While the brand is more expensive than many supermarket foods, it’s positioned as a healthier, natural alternative, and the subscription model helps make ongoing feeding more affordable.
Ordering & Delivery
You can order Pooch & Mutt dog food directly from their website, with the option to set up a flexible Subscribe & Save plan that gives discounts and regular deliveries straight to your door. Subscribers receive an email before each order is sent, so it’s easy to skip, delay or adjust as needed. Pooch & Mutt also accepts returns within 14 days if the product is unopened and in resalable condition.
For delivery, orders over £39.99 qualify for free UK shipping, while smaller orders carry a fee starting from £2.49. Standard delivery usually takes 1–2 working days via DPD, and most parcels arrive the next day. Pooch & Mutt delivers seven days a week (excluding bank holidays), but at the moment international delivery is only available to Germany.
Packaging
Pooch & Mutt puts a strong focus on eco-friendly packaging, especially for its wet food range, which comes in 100% recyclable TetraPak cartons made from over 70% renewable materials. These cartons are widely accepted in local recycling schemes and designed with an easy-tear top for convenience. Treats are packed in resealable pouches with easy-open cuts, while accessories like their dog poop bags use 75% recycled materials (including plastic bottles and oyster shell waste), with cardboard inner rolls that can be recycled at home.
For dry food, the brand currently uses bags with a recycling code 7 (a mixed plastic), which unfortunately aren’t accepted in most household recycling collections. Pooch & Mutt acknowledges this as a challenge and has said they’re actively working on better solutions. The overall design of their packaging also doubles as a marketing tool, using bright, functional layouts that stand out on shelves while keeping freshness locked in.
Meal Prep & Feeding
Pooch & Mutt provides clear feeding guidelines on each product label (and on their website) tailored by dog weight, age and activity level, which serve as a starting point. They also offer a feeding calculator tool—just enter your dog’s details—and it suggests daily amounts for dry, wet, or mixed feeding. For puppies, they recommend more frequent meals (e.g. 3–4 times a day), gradually transitioning to two meals daily by around six months.
When preparing meals, many owners mix dry and wet formats depending on preference or needs, and you can manage portions more accurately using a kitchen scale rather than eyeballing. If your dog is underweight or overweight, feed based on the ideal target weight rather than current weight. Pooch and Mutt Supplements (e.g. gut health formulas) should be given daily in the correct dose, mixed into food or fed by hand, and always at the same time to help with consistency.

Is Pooch & mutt hypoallergenic?
Pooch & Mutt offers a grain-free, “naturally hypoallergenic” range and a sensitivity recipe designed for dogs with food intolerances or allergies. These diets avoid common triggers and use carefully selected ingredients, but no food can be guaranteed hypoallergenic for every dog. If your dog has specific allergies, it’s always best to check with your vet before switching foods.
Who owns Pooch & Mutt?
Pooch & Mutt was founded in the UK in 2007 by Guy Blaskey, but since 2023 it has been fully owned by VAFO Group, a leading European pet food manufacturer. Guy remains involved in the business as Chief Visionary Officer, while VAFO provides the backing to help grow the brand internationally.
How does Pooch & Mutt calming dog food work?
Pooch & Mutt’s “Calm & Relaxed” recipes use ingredients linked to relaxation, including L-tryptophan (which helps support serotonin production), chamomile, lemon balm and B-vitamins. These work together to promote a calmer mood and support the nervous system, while added probiotics help with digestion, which can also influence behaviour. Results vary between dogs, and it’s best seen as a gentle aid rather than a fix for serious anxiety.
