Different Dog raises £10m to move facility

Different Dog was founded in 2017 by husband-and-wife duo Charlie and Alex Thurstan and now feeds over 18,000 dogs and employs over 100 people

Different Dog, a premium fresh dog food subscription service, has announced that it has raised £10m, from new and existing investors.

The funding will enable the company to move to a new state-of-the-art facility in Telford, the ‘dog capital of the UK’.

The company is also investing in marketing to grow its customer base and hiring top talent to accelerate growth.

Different Dog offers a personalised subscription service. Customers start by providing details about their dog, including age, breed, activity level and dietary needs. Based on this, Different Dog creates a tailored meal plan using fresh, hand-cooked, human-grade ingredients.
