LAUGHING DOG
www.laughingdogfood.com
Laughing Dog is one of the few dog food producers that makes all its own dry completes, mixer meals and treats, using crops grown on the family's farm. Its usp is that it oven bakes the dry food, which locks in the flavour, ensuring that 'every crunchy Laughing Dog kibble is still slow baked to perfection.' The company has recently introduced wet food into its range.
NATURAL DOG FOOD COMPANY
www.naturaldogfoodcompany.com
As the Natural Dog Food Company point out on their site, if you feed your dog food that doesn’t contain any bulking agents or fillers, the food is higher in nutritional value, meaning the dog will need to eat less and therefore ‘eliminate’ less often. It’s a win/win situation, surely? On top of this, animal welfare is always at the front of the Natural Dog Food Company’s mind - meaning that all of the ingredients they use in their food are ethically sourced from happy free change chickens, pasture fed lambs and sustainably farmed salmon.
