If you have had a browse of our freezers in the shop, or scrolled through the raw section of our website, you will have come across the distinctive Dibo Finest packaging more times than you can count. Dibo Finest aka The Dogs Butcher raw dog food has become one of the most well used brands on our shelves, and for good reason. We wanted to properly explain what The Dogs Butcher is all about, what sets it apart from other raw brands, and why it has earned such a permanent place at BTB.
What Is The Dogs Butcher Raw Dog Food
The Dogs Butcher, often shortened to TDB, is a British raw dog food brand built around one straightforward idea: real meat, prepared properly, with nothing unnecessary added. The brand operates from a base in the South West of England, where the team hand picks meat from local abattoirs and butchers it in house, rather than buying in a generic pre minced product and simply repackaging it. That hands on approach is what gives TDB its reputation among raw feeders, and it is exactly the kind of detail we look for when deciding what to put on our shelves.
Real British Meat, Hand Prepared by Butchers
Every product in the TDB range uses one hundred percent British meat, hand cut by butchers to keep the quality and consistency high pack after pack. Rather than a fine, sloppy mince, TDB minces are ground using a 13mm plate, which gives a proper chunky, meaty texture that dogs seem to genuinely enjoy working through, and which many owners feel is closer to how a dog would naturally eat in the wild.
You will not find fillers, cereals or artificial additives anywhere in the range. It is exactly what it says on the label, meat, bone and offal, sourced and prepared with care.
A Genuinely Wide Range of Proteins
One of the things that really sets The Dogs Butcher raw dog food apart from a lot of other brands is the sheer choice on offer. Alongside the classic proteins you would expect, chicken, duck, turkey, ox, tripe, lamb and pork, TDB also offers a properly impressive novel protein range, including horse, goat, veal, hare, rabbit, venison and alpaca, plus oily fish minces for owners wanting to support skin and coat health.
That breadth matters for a lot of the dogs we see in the shop. Novel proteins are often the first thing we suggest to owners dealing with food sensitivities or working through an elimination diet, simply because a dog is far less likely to have already reacted to venison or alpaca than to chicken or beef. Having that many options under one trusted brand makes rotation and troubleshooting genuinely easier.
Formats to Suit Every Kind of Raw Feeder
TDB caters for pretty much every style of raw feeding. There are balanced 80:10:10 minces made up of 80% meat, 10% bone and 10% offal for owners who want a complete, no fuss meal, as well as boneless minces for dogs who need bone free meat only. For anyone who prefers to build meals themselves, there is a proper DIY range too, with whole bones, offal and meaty chunks sold separately, plus mixed and single protein options for households managing allergies.
The bones and chunks, things like goat ribs, necks and duck feet, are a favourite with owners looking for something that supports dental health and gives a confident chewer a satisfying job to do. Minces come in practical 1kg trays, while chunks and bones are vacuum packed, so everything is easy to freeze, defrost and portion out as needed.
Getting Raw Feeding Right at Home
Raw feeding does come with a bit more to think about than opening a bag of kibble, and we think that is worth being upfront about. Meat needs to stay frozen until you are ready to use it, and should always be defrosted slowly in a sealed container. Good kitchen hygiene matters too, washing hands, bowls and surfaces thoroughly after handling raw food, and feeding under supervision as part of a diet that suits your individual dog.
Why We Stock The Dogs Butcher Raw Dog Food at BTB
We are not the kind of shop that tells anyone there is only one right way to feed a dog. Kibble, cold pressed, raw, home cooked, we have seen happy, healthy dogs on all of it, and we know every household has its own circumstances to work around. What we do believe is that you can only feed the best you can, and for the raw feeders who come through our door, The Dogs Butcher gives us a brand we can recommend with real confidence, whether someone is after a straightforward complete mince or wants to build a proper DIY raw diet from scratch.

A Quick Note
This post is general information based on what we know and love about the products we stock, not veterinary advice. If your dog has a known health condition, allergy or sensitivity, or if anyone in your household may be more vulnerable to infection, it is always worth having a quick chat with your vet before introducing a new diet.
