Hi Debra Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear that your dog didn’t take to Poppy's Picnic. it’s always disappointing when a pet doesn’t enjoy their meals, especially after trying different flavours. Every pet is unique, and while many love our food, we completely understand that it’s not always the perfect fit for every furry friend. We do have a dedicated support team who are always on hand to guide and help with the transition from one food to another. If you had let us know that your dog didn't like the food we could have helped with this. We offer tips and guidance for those having difficulty transitioning. Not all dogs are the same and some can take longer than a week to transition. We wish you all the best and hope you find a suitable food soon. Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

Hello Daniel Thank you for your feedback. Switching cats to raw can take some time and patience and with some cats it can take several weeks. If you have not already done so, we would urge you to read the RAWPLICITY Guide we sent you - it's an downloadable book via a link in your emails, which may be in spam. Please get in touch if you have not received it. In there are many methods and tricks to try. It is worth the effort for the amazing results. Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

Hi Brigitte Thank you for your review. We're sorry to see that your dogs and cat's haven't enjoyed our food. I can see that you purchased 1 pack of dog food - It can take more than a week or one meal to transition , even if you are transitioning from another raw brand. The composition, ingredients and the different cuts of meat can all play a part. Our Rawplicity Guide is full of tips on how to transition , the website also has a section on transitioning and our Customer Care Team are always on hand to help too. You can request a call back or message in . We also called you on 16/01 at 10.19am to offer any help or support. Please let us know if we can help with the transition or you would like to speak to the team. Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

Hi James I am a little confused by this review - it is factually incorrect. You say your order was £60.00 - The one and only order we appear to have received from you was actually for £36.30. We are so disappointed to see that your dog hasn't enjoyed our food. It's a pity you didn't contact the customer care team or respond to our welcome call that was made a week after you received your order. We may have been able to offer feeding tips and guidance. All this information can also be found on our website too! If you have any of your food left and would like to try again , we would be delighted to help with the transition. Good luck with your raw feeding journey. Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

“Terrible, terrible service! My last order has gone AWOL with no info or updates from Poppy's Picnic when it is due to arrive. And the order before that was delivered to my old address and when I contacted them about it they said they would get back to me, I am still waiting. I am about to contact the credit card company in order to recover the money.”

Hello Fran I am sorry to see that your review is factually inaccurate. Your previous order went to the 'wrong' address because of the payment method you used - you did not change the delivery address associated with that method, therefore there is no fault on our part. Your most recent order was lost in transit by DPD. Immediately we discovered this , we sent you an email offering to replace the lost parcel. You never responded to this email. Now you have contacted us we have been able to send out a replacement order , which we could not do before because you did not respond to our message. Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

Hi Jeanette It is a standard practice to ask for the items back so we can check the quality. We would never send out items that are returned. As soon as you return the order we will be able to refund for you. Much kindness to you and high five for feeding raw. Have a lovely day PAWS SUPPORT

“Don’t buy if your dog is fussy! I brought this for my dog whose super fussy and she wouldn’t even touch it; I tried it cooked and raw and she just walked away from it each time. Another downside is there’s no option for a trial. The minimum you can order is 8 packs if you want delivery which isn’t helpful if you have a fussy dog and just want to try it. Such a waste.”

Hello Anonymous Thank you for your review. We are sorry to see that your fussy dog isn't enjoying our food. It can take more than a week to transition , even from a different raw brand, particularly if you have a fussy dog. The Rawplicity guide that you have is full of tips on how to transition and our Customer Care Team are always on hand to offer help. Our smallest order is 8 packs , due to the size of our specially Insulated boxes. We do have many stockists around the UK - You may find that you have one near you. Please let us know if we can help with the transition or you would like to speak to the team. Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

“In response: Food arrived defrosted. Not soft to the touch but wet and bloody. I was advised to refreeze it which is wrong on many levels. Then told to send it back and have a refund. The company called and promised they'd arrange a courier. The rude and antagonistic “Poppy” on the chat then said this wasn't the case and I would need to pay for it. Her attitude was disgusting - a perfect balance between passive-aggressive and just plain rude. Yes, your reviews do speak for themselves. You'll see that I'm not the first person to have been greeted by your bad attitude and lack of customer service. Anyone can get a good review when things go right, it's when there is a problem that needs resolving that good customer service shines. Sadly this is where this company fails. Dramatically. This a clear example. I have posted a review anonymously and their response greets me using my name. No regard for GDPR or data privacy.”

Thank you for your feedback. I understand your frustration and I am sorry that you feel this is not good practice. I can assure you that this is the industry standard and, as such, is stated in the FAQs of commercially prepared raw dog food companies like ours, Including Nature’s Menu and Bella and Duke. We all recommend the same thing as it is tried and tested. Our vets, and vets associated with all these companies, are happy with this practice as they recognise the differences between canine and human digestive systems. As you have already mentioned, our reviews speak for themselves about customer service! We wish you all the best with your raw feeding journey… Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

Hi Julie Thank you for your feedback. It is unusual that your order arrived defrosted as it was collected from us at 3:30 pm and delivered to you at 10 am the next day. We have taken this up with DPD to investigate where the parcel was stored overnight. We always encourage customers to get in touch with any issues they may have and if you had done so we would have assessed the status of your delivery and advised accordingly. It is a great shame that this food was thrown away and wasted. In the vast majority of cases, food that arrives defrosted is still cold to the touch and can be put directly into the freezer. Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

“Following a late delivery of raw food that exceeded 48 hours dispatch, I rejected the order as the December order was delivered within 20 hours of the dispatch notice and had already started to defrost. Following discussions with customer service requesting an additional order as a replacement I was informed this would not be implemented or any payments reinbursed. I would have at least expected that the 24-hour delivery payment would have been offered but they were not interested. No dog food - No refund - Very Poor Customer Service following very late delivery - Be Cautious. Will NEVER use this company again or recommend it.”

Dear Anonymous We were very sorry to hear you had rejected your delivery, which our records show was delivered 43 hours from despatch. It was such a cold couple of days, barely rising above freezing, that the box temperature would have remained below acceptable levels even beyond this time. It was for this reason that we explicitly told you, when you contacted us before delivery, not to reject the order. It is important that customers accept delivery of food within the 48 hours delivery period as we cannot replace or refund products that are entirely sound and safe to use. We also ask that customers open the boxes to check the contents so we can more easily send out a replacement, if required, for packs damaged in transit, etc. Our investigation with DPD showed the box was rejected unopened on this occasion. We would always advise any customers with concerns about delivery timings to contact us for guidance, as the dispatch notices are produced hours before the orders are packed and do not give an accurate indication of the time the products leave our freezers. We would like to wish you well in your raw feeding journey Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

Dear Megan Sorry to see that you didn't respond to our follow-up call. We called you on 14 December and left a voice message. We also sent out an email follow-up asking if we could help with anything. You haven't mentioned in this review what exactly it is that doesn't represent value for money. We will be switching back to compostable trays as soon as we are able. There is currently a shortage of these trays. If you would like to discuss or elaborate on your concerns, we are always happy to help. Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

Hello Anonymous Thank you for purchasing our Tabby's Table raw cat food. It's a shame to see that prior to this review, and buying our food three weeks ago you hadn't contacted us. It's a shame you didn't reach out to us as we are always available to help, support and assist our customers.

Hi Dawn & Molly What a beautiful girl she is! As with humans , it can be that it takes dogs a while to get used to a new taste experience and she may need some encouragement. Happily for you all the products you have ordered can be cooked - our Mighty Mince and Power Balls contain no bone, therefore safe to cook. We suggest you try again with the food, this time cooked and cooled. You can also try mixing it with her previous food until she gets used to it . Or you can add tasty toppers - fish oil, a raw egg or try our Super Sprinkles. Of course some dogs may not make the switch and if this is the case please donate the food to your local dog rescue charity. We would hate the food to go to waste. Please give us a ring if you need help with the above. I'm sure we will get Molly on to raw in no time. Much Kindness Debs and Poppy

“Would not buy this again! It’s expensive and not worth it. Looks nothing like it does on advertising, the chicken, boar, lamb and mince is a horrible off brown colour and the containers are a waste of time as you can’t re seal the food to keep it fresh once you open it, my dog enjoys raw but took one look at this and a sniff and walked away and I don’t blame him! I’ve now got 8 packs I have to throw on the bin. Absolutely terrible patronising customer service who always seem to want the last word, i told them about the food and all I got was I’m sorry your dog is so fussy, and they also told me to cook it, I didn’t buy the food to cook it I bought it to give raw like he usually eats. Looking at all the bad reviews it seems this isn’t the first time the food is simply not up to standard for the amount being charged and the customer service from the company is a total let down!!”

Hello Sarah We are disappointed that you felt you had to throw the food away. If you had contacted us on the day, or looked this topic up in our FAQs, we would have been able to guide you correctly and avoid waste (and your obvious disappointment). Our insulated boxes are designed to keep the food cold in transit for up to 48 hours. If some defrosting does occur it arrives cold (but not frozen) it is safe to go straight into the freezer.
