Why We Make Our Dog Food In-House

🐶 It All Began With Poppy…


Poppy’s Picnic was born out of love — pure and simple. When our founder Dylan brought home his adorable miniature schnauzer, Poppy, he was determined to give her the healthiest start to life. But after scouring the shelves and feeling overwhelmed by labels, preservatives, and confusing ingredients, he knew there had to be a better way.


So, he rolled up his sleeves and started preparing fresh, raw meals at home — real food with real ingredients. The difference in Poppy’s energy, coat, and overall wellbeing was undeniable. That kitchen-table idea quickly grew into Poppy’s Picnic, a brand built on the belief that dogs deserve nourishing food made with as much love and care as we give our own meals.


🏡 Why In-House Matters

From day one, we knew we wanted to stay hands-on. That’s why we make all our raw dog food in-house, right here in the UK. No outsourcing, no mystery factories — just our trusted team, lovingly preparing every meal with care, dedication, and a whole lot of tail-wagging passion.

🌿 It’s About Trust

Feeding your dog is a daily act of love — and we’re honoured to be part of that. By producing everything in-house, we can oversee every stage of the journey: from selecting top-quality, ethically sourced British ingredients, to packing each meal by hand. That means no hidden surprises and no compromise on quality.

🥩 Ingredients You’d Be Happy to Eat

Our recipes are made with fresh cuts of British meat, nutritious vegetables, and nothing artificial — just the good stuff your dog’s body naturally thrives on. Small-batch production lets us keep things fresh and consistent, so your dog gets the same high-quality meals every time.

🐾 Complete Transparency

When you feed Poppy’s Picnic, you know exactly what’s in the bowl. We believe you deserve to understand where your dog’s food comes from — which is why in-house production is so important to us. It gives us complete control over quality, safety, and nutrition, and it lets us share that process openly with you.

🌟 Made By People Who Care

Every meal we make is prepared by people who are passionate about dogs. Our team isn’t just mixing ingredients — they’re crafting meals that support health, vitality, and joy. Many of us are dog parents too, and we pour that same love and attention into the food we make for your furry companions.

🧊 Freshly Frozen and Delivered to Your Door

After we’ve prepared each meal, it’s quickly frozen to lock in the goodness, then delivered straight to your door. It’s raw feeding made wonderfully simple — no hassle, no prep, just defrost and serve.

By keeping everything under our roof, we’re staying true to why we started: to make fresh, nutritious food for the dogs we adore. Because when it’s made with love, you can taste the difference — and your dog can feel it, too.
