What ingredients go into Naturediet?
Looking down the dog food aisle, whether metaphorically speaking online, or in a physical shop, there is a plethora of choice. Some brands specialise in creating a food that would sit perfectly on our dining room table, whilst others prefer a simpler, more minimalist approach to the food that we feed our dogs.
Naturediet believe that your canine companion deserves the best and with over 40 years’ experience, our limited ingredient, complete and balanced recipes offer dogs the perfect dinner time dishes. Our approach has always been to ensure that there is nothing in a recipe that your dog does not need – nothing fancy, nothing clever, just simple honest food designed for your dog. So, what do we include, and why?
British sourced ingredients. British made dog food.
Our 100% natural dog food requires the best ingredients, all of which are sourced from within the UK and as close as possible to our Norfolk factory. We leave out chemicals, artificial preservatives, colourants and flavourings in favour of high-quality pure meat or fish and veggies. There are no fillers or bulking agents either – just top-notch canine nosh.
Meat
All meat used in Naturediet recipes are from Red Tractor certified and DEFRA approved farms. The salmon and white ocean fish that we use in our dog food comes from Global GAP and RSPCA assured farms.
Chicken – naturally high in protein and low in fat. A highly palatable, easily digestible meat, it is ideal for dogs that require a low purine diet.

Lamb – a delicious high-quality protein that is full of vitamins and minerals.
Salmon – full of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids for a healthy heart and skin. Salmon is a great protein source, supporting your dog’s immune system.
