Bella+Duke: natural raw food for dogs and cats with home delivery

Bella+Duke is a British company specialising in raw pet food that operates through a flexible subscription model. Its approach focuses on unprocessed recipes made with natural ingredients and designed by nutritionists, delivered frozen to your door. The company presents itself as a champion of nutrition far removed from ultra-processed foods, with the stated aim of helping pets live healthier lives.

Raw recipes for dogs and cats

Bella+Duke's range is organised into lines differentiated by life stage and specific needs. All recipes are grain- and gluten-free and contain high percentages of meat. The company details the following lines for dogs:

• Adult + Premium Complete: eight mixed-protein raw meals with premium meat, bone and offal, combined with seasonal vegetables, berries and healthy oils. They contain at least 80% meat.

For cats, the company offers the Cat + Kitten + Premium Complete range, with five popular recipes featuring a balanced protein mix and 98% meat in every meal.

Personalised nutrition plan and subscription

The purchase process begins with completing a questionnaire about your pet: species, age, weight and other characteristics. From that information, Bella+Duke generates a tailored nutrition plan that recommends the most suitable range and calculates the daily amount and estimated cost. The subscription is flexible: the customer can change the box size, the daily amount of food and the flavours, as well as pause or cancel the service with no obligations or charges. The company states that the initial delivery frequency is calculated by dividing the box size by the recommended daily amount to prevent the product from running out. Deliveries are made via DPD in frozen format and the customer must defrost and serve the food.

Ingredients and origin

The company states that the meat comes from BRC-certified human-grade facilities and that the remaining ingredients are sourced from UK farms. According to its description, they add no unnecessary elements and all recipes are designed by nutritionists.

Transitioning to a raw diet

The company describes two methods for changing your pet's diet. The first is a straight swap: finish the previous food and move to raw food at the next meal. The second is a gradual transition over four days, in which raw food is progressively introduced alongside the previous food: on day one, three quarters of the usual food and one quarter raw; on day two, half and half; on day three, one quarter of the previous food and three quarters raw; and on day four, the pet consumes only raw food. The company recommends this gradual method for animals that are anxious about change or prone to digestive upset.
