Founded in 2016 by friends Kevin Glynn and David Nolan, Butternut Box set out to give dogs “health and happiness in every bowl.” The company gently cooks whole, human-quality ingredients at 90 °C, freezes the meals for freshness, then ships them in customised portions straight to customers’ doors. Each plan is tailored to a dog’s age, weight, and activity level, and the brand positions itself as a healthier, less-processed alternative to conventional wet or dry pet food. Beyond commerce, Butternut Box donates a meal to dogs in need for every new customer and partners with animal-welfare charities across the UK and Ireland.
