Pets at Home dog food review
Pets at Home have been selling their own brand of
dog and cat food for some time now, and we've tried it and like
it a lot. The Pets at Home premium brand (in the silver bag) complements
their Wainwright's brand but has a much bigger range, including
cat food.
What we like about Pets at Home is that they are very
open and honest in their ingredient declaration - no general 'vitamins
and minerals' but listing what's in there, along with the fact that
they use a natural antioxident which is also good!
It is also considerably cheaper than many well known
brands that offer similar products at the premium end of the market.
Why? you might ask...
It's mainly down to the number of people taking a
cut of the retail price! Pats at Home buy their food from a manufacturer
and sell it to you. Other companies have to buy the food, then distribute
it via wholesalers and retailers, each of whom wants their 30-40%
markup. Common sense therefore tells you that PAH should be able
to offer a good deal!
Our long term trial with Pets at Home dog foods would
indicate that you get good results with coat, skin and digestion
- although as with all such foods it is important not to overfeed,
so stick to the guidlines. The Pets at Home food is slightly higher
in protein and oil than Burns, so there's less likelihood of an
underweight dog or cat ... but we also have to be careful not to
end up with an overweight one - feed at the lower end of the feeding
range and then adjust upwards if you need to, rather than the other
way around!!
So what's in Pets at Home food? Let's have a look
at a couple of recipes for example:
