Positive Reviews
“I ordered my cats Raw food turned out they had sent out wrong order which was disappointing due to my cat only liking chicken so thought I would try the Lamb too which I did not receive they sent out Beef which my cat won’t touch. After contacting them the same day this was quickly rectified and they kindly sent out a fresh new order which I recieved the next day. I would recommend these as my cat is fussy & very lazy in chewing so likes the fine raw meat which this is and is really soft in texture my cat is a heavy 6kg so think he getting his nutrients. I wish they was a few more flavours other than chicken & Lamb, Beef in 500g my cat has had Rabbit & OX from another brand which he did like.” – Lisa reviewing Nutriment on TrustPilot, March 26, 2025
“Always buy my raw cat food from Nutriment. Really good value for money and my cats love it. I always buy the starter pack but I’ve also been buying the frozen nuggets for my two dogs which they love. Brilliant service with next day delivery.”- Mrs N Ballantine, Nutriment on TrustPilot, March 23, 2025
Negative Reviews
“This was definitely the best raw meat up until recently when they changed the proportions. Now it’s mostly offal and dry. My cat refuses to eat it. Now I’m weaning her off it and o to my own combination of raw food. The recent delivery wasn’t great either the food was supposed to be delivered within 24 hrs of dispatch and it arrived on my doorstep after 48 hrs half defrosted. This is the last purchase I’ll be making.”-Sobia, reviewing Nutriment on TrustPilot, March 22, 2025
“Good Service but unfortunately both cat and dog not liking this food. Raw dog food smells a bit disinfectant. This is only my opinion and not saying there’s anything wrong with the food but not going to feed to my animals ”- Fudge Burns, reviewing Nutriment on TrustPilot, January 19, 2025

| Nutriment Beef Formula Enhanced Raw Diet Formula Adult Cat Food | Raw | Beef | N/A | £0.006 per g | A |

#1 Nutriment Beef Formula Enhanced Raw Diet Formula Adult Cat Food
Formulated for adult cats of all breeds, this raw cat food features beef heart as the primary ingredient, supplemented with chicken with bone and two other beef organs: kidney and liver. The only other main ingredients are cold-water salmon oil, kelp powder, spirulina powder, and wheat germ oil.
We love that this formula is packed with animal protein, especially nutrient-rich organ meats and chicken that includes the raw bone. Salmon oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and, because it is listed first, we don’t mind that the recipe also includes a plant-based fat (wheat germ oil).
Overall, this appears to be a protein-rich recipe with high inclusions of healthy fat and minimal carbohydrate content.
Ingredients
British Beef Heart 63%, British Chicken with Bone (dressed carcasses) 30%, (British Beef Kidney, British Beef Liver 6%), Scottish Cold Water Salmon Oil, Raw Sea Kelp Powder (Laminaria japonica), Spirulina Powder (Spirulina platensis), Wheat Germ Oil (natural vitamin E).

Pros

Cons

#2 Nutriment Leo & Wolf Naturally Frozen Raw Meatballs Tripe Formula
One of two frozen meatball recipes, this formula features beef tripe as the primary ingredient. In fact, it is the only ingredient aside from a little vegetable fiber.
This recipe is protein-packed and full of natural beef flavor as well as healthy animal-based fats. The thing to keep in mind is that it is a complementary product, not designed to be fed as your cat’s staple diet. It can be used to supplement your cat’s diet for a boost of raw nutrition.
Overall, this product is a rich source of species-appropriate nutrition packed with protein and healthy fats with very low carbohydrate content.
Ingredients
Beef Tripe, Vegetable Fiber.

How Much Does Nutriment Cat Food Cost?
Because Nutriment is based in the UK, all of their prices are posted in pounds (£). Nutriment’s Core Range comes in 500g trays for £3.00 each. Their Leo & Wolf line of frozen meatballs come in 1kg packages for £8.50 each.
Overall, Is Nutriment Cat Food a Good Choice?
Nutriment offers a limited variety of raw frozen foods for cats including one nutritionally complete recipe and two complementary frozen products. We love the quality of their foods; we just wish they had a greater variety. If you’re looking for a company that offers good flavor variety, or even a variety of different product types, Nutriment might not be the best choice.
Though the quality of Nutriment’s products seems clear, we weren’t able to test them for ourselves. Judging based on a 4.6-star rating out of over 1,200 reviews on TrustPilot, however, it seems likely that Nutriment’s products hold up to the company’s claims of quality. If you live in the UK, we recommend Nutriment as a raw cat food brand to try.
Where Is Nutriment Cat Food Sold?
As a UK company, the best place to buy Nutriment pet food is online through Nutriment’s website or locally through independent retailers. You can find Nutrition pet foods in pet retailer stores around the UK or you can shop directly in the Nutriment Factory Shop located in Camberley, Surrey.
