Amazing food, my picky eater loves it. Very good service and transparency about food and ingredients
Esmarie Visagie 6 Oct 2026 Read on Google -
While I’m not thrilled with the first two ingredients being filler at least my VERY picky eater is actually eating. It was getting concerning how little he would eat at each sitting and now he finishes most meals. If your dog is anything like him this product will give you peace of mind that they are getting those calories in.

Such a great experience with BuddyMeal! Everything was so easy from the beginning and Koda’s box was honestly so cute to open. I love that his food is personalised specifically for him and that they’ve made feeding him so simple with his own portions and plan. The little details, especially having his photo on his food bags, were such a nice touch. Really impressed with everything so far and Koda is very happy too!

Incredibly professional, very friendly. The product is absolutely fantastic. One of my dogs is a very fussy eater and now he sits waiting for his food. Love how easy the personalisation process is, the delivery is incredibly quick. Living on the other end of SA (Limpopo) receive parcels within a few days. Highly recommend. Excellent quality food at a fraction of the price.

My Corgi x Pomeranian has a sensitive tummy and grain allergy, so finding the right food can be tricky. I loved that BuddyMeal is customised to his needs and takes all the guesswork out of feeding with exact portions provided. Ordering was easy, delivery was quick, and I was kept updated every step of the way. The personalised packaging with Buddy’s photo (Yes, my doggo's name is Buddy too) was such a lovely touch! Best of all, Buddy absolutely loves the food and finishes every bowl. I’m also loving the auto-order option, one less thing to worry about. Thank you Luella and the BuddyMeal team!

Vlooi Miniature Pinscher · 2 years old"Vlooi can only be described as a picky eater, and in her two years with us it has been a MISSION to get her to eat anything.
In comes BuddyMeal and although she still takes years to eat her food, this is the first time that she actually enjoys her pellets and goes back to her food consistently. We're ecstatic about that, and a big thank you to BuddyMeal for checking in often and going the extra mile with their customer service."

FAQs
Clear answers about digestion and nutrition.
What can I do if my dog is constipated?
If your dog is struggling with constipation, there are a few simple things you can try to support healthy digestion:
- Add some lukewarm water to their kibble
This can help increase their fluid intake, as dehydration can contribute to constipation. - Encourage gentle exercise
A walk or some light activity can help stimulate your dog's digestion and keep things moving. - Speak to your vet if it continues
Ongoing constipation can sometimes be linked to an underlying health issue, so your vet can check for possible causes and make sure your dog isn't experiencing discomfort when trying to poop. - Choose food that supports healthy digestion
A balanced diet with the appropriate levels of fibre, protein and fats can help support regular bowel movements and a healthy digestive system.
What is dog food for healthy bowel movements?
Dog food that supports healthy bowel movements should be easy to digest and made with ingredients that suit your dog's individual needs. This can include avoiding common allergens such as wheat, corn, lactose, soya and gluten, as well as ingredients your dog may be sensitive or intolerant to, such as chicken.
Did you know you can have dog food tailored to the ingredients your dog's digestive system tolerates best? Customised dog food can be a great option for dogs with sensitive stomachs, helping support comfortable digestion and healthy bowel movements.
