Puromenú alternatives: price, cat range and reputation compared (2026)
Puromenú publishes its prices like no other brand in the sector, but its Trustpilot score weighs on the decision. We compare who solves each reason to switch.
In this article
If you’re looking for alternatives to Puromenú, it’s most likely its Trustpilot score that’s holding you back — a 2.2 out of 5, though on only 23 reviews — or that you want to compare price before deciding, especially if you have a cat. Puromenú is, as we cover in our full review, the widest raw BARF catalogue we’ve reviewed and one of the few brands that publishes €/kg for every format. The reason to look at alternatives is almost never that catalogue — it’s the score or the cat pricing.
Why people look for Puromenú alternatives
- The Trustpilot score. 2.2/5 with 23 reviews (29 August 2026). Before writing the brand off over this, read the full context in our breakdown of Puromenú’s Trustpilot score: the sample is small and the complaints mostly point at delivery logistics, not the product.
- Cat pricing. Its standard range sits at €12.38-16.13/kg and the BIO line climbs to €19.39-20.90/kg — noticeably pricier than its own dog range.
- You want raw BARF with more established reputation, or you’d rather switch to cooked food outright.
The comparison: euros per kilo, dated
Dog range prices verified on each brand’s website on 5 October 2026 (Dogfy Diet, the 7 August 2026 estimate):
| Brand | Price per kilo (dog) | Trustpilot | Cats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guau&Cat | €2.95 - 5.20/kg | 4.5/5 (197)* | Yes |
| Natuka | €7.50 - 12.00/kg | 4.5/5 (376) | Yes |
| Puromenú | €7.13 - 10.61/kg | 2.0/5 (25) | Yes |
| Food for Joe | €7.24 - 10.97/kg | 4.1/5 (1,182) | Yes |
| Dogfy Diet | ~€7.3/kg (estimated) | 4.4/5 (12,430)* | No |
Dogfy Diet and Guau&Cat hold a paid Trustpilot subscription (tools to systematically invite reviews); the others don’t. Trustpilot verified 5 October 2026.
On dog pricing, Puromenú sits in the same band as Food for Joe and a little below Natuka since its August increase. The difference that genuinely separates these brands is in the Trustpilot column, and there Puromenú is the only one with a low score — though, as we’ll see, it needs reading against its sample size.

The alternatives, one by one
Guau&Cat — price and reputation, both at once
Cooked and raw BARF, one-off purchase with no lock-in, the lowest price per kilo in the sector for both dogs and cats, and a high Trustpilot score with an already meaningful sample (197 reviews, 4.5/5, 5 October 2026; with a paid subscription to the platform).
The trade-off: its individual dishes aren’t a complete diet on their own — you need its Menu option or vet guidance. Full detail in our Guau&Cat review.
Food for Joe — the most established reputation
Cooked only, but with the largest and most solid Trustpilot sample in this comparison without a paid subscription to the platform: 1,182 reviews at 4.1/5. If trust is specifically what’s holding you back from Puromenú, this is the most direct alternative.
The trade-off: price doesn’t improve on Puromenú’s; in the small format it’s actually higher. Full breakdown in our Food for Joe review.
Natuka — same raw BARF territory, with more reviews and a better score
If what you value about Puromenú is the raw BARF variety and only its score bothers you, the closest alternative is Natuka: it has a Trustpilot profile at 4.5/5 across 376 reviews (5 October 2026), with no paid subscription to the platform, and an equally broad BARF range. The trade-off is that its small formats cost a little more (€7.50-12.00/kg against €7.13-10.61/kg for Puromenú’s chicken menu). Correction of 5 October 2026: earlier versions of this article said Natuka had no Trustpilot profile; that was our mistake. We cover this in our Natuka review.
Dogfy Diet — if you’d rather have service than manage formats yourself
No raw BARF, no one-off purchase and no cats, but with nutritional follow-up, calculated portions and the largest Trustpilot sample in the sector (12,430 reviews as of 5 October 2026, with a paid subscription to the platform). Reviewed in our Dogfy Diet review.
What if you have a cat?
This is where the price gap with Puromenú widens the most. With data verified on 29 August 2026:
| Brand | Price per kilo (cat) |
|---|---|
| Guau&Cat | €4.75 - 7.00/kg |
| Natuka | €8.81 - 11.80/kg |
| Food for Joe | €13.45/kg (single 200 g format) |
| Puromenú | €12.38 - 16.13/kg (standard) · €19.39 - 20.90/kg (BIO line) |
Puromenú’s feline range is the priciest of the four brands that offer one, and its BIO line nearly doubles the price of its own standard range. If cat food spend is specifically your reason to look elsewhere, switching to Guau&Cat saves a meaningful amount — we break it down with full monthly-cost tables in how much natural cat food really costs per month.

Which one fits your case
| If what’s holding you back is… | The answer is… |
|---|---|
| The Trustpilot score | Natuka (4.5/376), Guau&Cat (4.5/197) or Food for Joe (4.1/1,182) |
| Price, especially in cat food | Guau&Cat, by a wide margin |
| Staying on raw BARF and comparing catalogues | Natuka (4.5/5 on Trustpilot, 376 reviews) |
| Wanting service and not deciding formats yourself | Dogfy Diet (dogs only) |
| None of the above | Stick with Puromenú: check your order on arrival and document any issue |
A note on the 2.2 before writing it off
As we explain in the full review, a Trustpilot score built on 23 reviews isn’t comparable to one built on thousands: the sample is small and skewed toward people who show up to complain. Puromenú’s criticism clusters around the frozen-delivery courier, not the recipe. If you decide to stick with it, the sensible precaution is checking your order’s condition on arrival, not writing the brand off outright.
And the rule we always repeat: the best diet is the one you can sustain every month, not the cheapest on paper or the highest-rated.
