Review: BOOST pet food, suitable for both cats and dogs

These days pet owners are absolutely spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding what to feed their beloved pets. 

From raw food, to tinned foods in jelly or gravy, kibble, freeze-dried food, and pat, there are so many different options available that it may be tough to choose. 

Of course, we all want what’s best for our pets, while making their meals as enjoyable as possible – although most of the time it seems they will eat literally anything. 

In recent years, fresh pet food has become widely advertised. 

Rather than being stored in a cupboard, this type of food must be stored in the fridge to maintain its freshness. 

In May 2023, BOOST pet food launched, providing both dogs and cats with meals containing no preservatives, no fillers, and no additives.

BOOST uses human quality ingredients in the hope of providing a more nutritious diet. 

They claim that their food will promote digestion, immunity, joint health, and even cleaner poops. 

Their meals are gently cooked, and are then delivered to your door, frozen.

Once defrosted, their products can be stored in the fridge for up to five days.

For dogs, there are a wide range of options from chicken, pork, fish supper, and meat feast. 

Cats have a selection of either beef and chicken, chicken, or fish supper. 

BOOST also makes gently cooked meatballs which can be given to dogs as a meal or a treat.

As soon as I received my meals from BOOST, my dog and my two cats were well aware of what I had for them.

At one point, I actually thought Rafa was going to dive onto the table with the food.

My dog, an English Springer Spaniel, named Star, typically enjoys a diet of raw food so this was something very different for her.

As for my two cats, they tend to eat jelly pouches containing either meat or fish. 

I have previously tried them with biscuits, however they arent particularly keen. 

All three of my pets absolutely love their food, so I was very excited to serve up these new dishes for them. 

First to try were my two cats, who had half of a pack each for their dinner of the fish supper meal. 

Both cleared their bowls, and appeared to thoroughly enjoy their freshly prepared food. 

Next, it was feeding time for my dog who tried out the pork flavour meal. 

She eagerly sat with both paws in the air, desperate to give it a try (I think that Izzy may have hoped she was getting in on the action).

As I had predicted, just like my two cats, she licked the bowl completely clean. 

The chicken, pork, and meat feast meatballs all went down a treat too, it was actually difficult to tell which ones were her favourite.

One thing that I particularly noticed when serving up both meals, was that there wasnt the usual unpleasant smell that sometimes comes with other types of pet food.

It also mashed up in the bowls very easily, creating minimal mess. 

A concern that I did have initially was knowing how much I should feed each pet of the food. 

The meals for dogs contain 400g of food, and the meals for cats, 170g. 

On the back of each pack however, I came across a feeding guide which was very handy, and advised how much to give to your pet based on their weight. 

Overall, I was impressed with both the cat and dog food, and it is safe to say, they were also very impressed with it too. 

The only thing that I feel is important if purchasing BOOST food is ensuring that you have plenty of freezer and fridge space to store it. 

I feel that for dog and cat owners, it is definitely worth giving fresh food, made with human-grade ingredients a go.
