Product review - Autarky Dog Food
Autarky have sort of led the way in exploiting the 'working dog'
zero VAT rule on dog food. Technically I believe it should be properly
VAT rated because it is targeted at all dogs rather than greyhounds
and working dogs, but the government don't seem to mind so the customer
is the winner by 15%!
It's generally a good food at a good price, and that about sums
up Autarky which has many fans.
Let's look at an example of the ingredients used in the Autarky
products:
