PASSIONATE ABOUT ANIMAL NUTRITION.

When we started Discount Pet Supplies 12 years ago we were dismayed at the lack of interest that pet owners generally have in what they are feeding their animal. Now, 12 years on, despite all the publicity about manufactured and refined human foods and the drive to get us all to think about what we are eating, little has changed. The vast majority of pet owners continue to buy poor quality tinned and pouch food from supermarkets. Research shows that most shoppers rate convenience higher than quality or price. Convenience?

What could be more convenient than making a thirty second phone call to our shop and having your nutritionally superior, inexpensive high quality product delivered to your door? When you call the phone will be answered by someone who has an understanding of your pets dietry needs. A person who has been trained in the requirements of different breeds of dogs and cats and small animals. A person who knows that young and old animals have very different needs when it comes to food. A person who will quickly find out what your pet needs and efficiently process your order and have it delivered to your door. Very often that day!

Buying your pet food in the supermarket may seem to be convenient but it is certainly not best for your pet. And you could be paying up to six times more than you need to.Are you interested in giving your pet a good quality diet and saving money? Then read on………

Complete Dog and Cat foods .

Complete animal foods provide your pet with everything that they require for a happy healthy life and are nutritionally balanced for the life style and life stage of your pet They even come in different size kibble (biscuit) to suit your dogs chewing ability. They are much easier to deal with as there is no smell and can sit in your pets bowl all day. They are also packed in sizes suitable for the size of your animal. The bigger the bag you buy, the better the value. A further bonus of complete pet food is the amount of poo you have to deal with! 87% of wet food comes through your animal! With complete food it can be as little as 11%.

Throughout your pets life many trips to the vet with upset tummies, sickness, itching, scratching, bad breath, skin, coat, anal gland and wind problems could all be prevented or avoided if you were to simply feed better quality food.

At the time of publication we have 150 different complete dog foods and 70 different complete cat foods in stock ready for collection or delivery. We stock all the major brands, Burns, James Wellbeloved, Arden Grange, Eukanuba, Hills, Proplan, Iams, Wafcol, Beta, Pedigree, Chappie, GoCat, Whiskas, Chappie, Supa, and our own exclusive brand, Macks Mix . We can usually source other brands very quickly if you have a specific product requirement.

A lot of pet owners insist that their animals are not keen on complete food, but when asked most say that they only tried one or two. We have a complete food that your pet will love and once we have asked you a few questions we will be able to point you in the right direction. We keep special completes for young pups and kittens, overweight pets, seniors, fussy animals and for pets with specific dietry requirements or allergies. We even sell vegetarian foods. Many complete foods are hypo-allergenic and use only organic and GM free ingredients.

All this choice and high quality might make you think that these foods are expensive. Nothing could be further from the truth. An adult cat being fed on the most expensive complete food costs 19p per day, based on Hills adult 5Kg bag. An adult Labrador eating James Wellbeloved 15kg sack would cost 90p per day to feed! The same dog would only cost 35p per day based on Macks Mix no frills working dog 15kg.

Complete foods are available in basic, premium and super-premium. We stock them all. Obviously we would always recommend that you use the best. All the top notch foods are made from the best of ingredients and do not use wheat or wheat gluten (which is a major cause of allergies in dogs) or red meat (which is the major cause of itchy dogs) If you have a pet that suffers from an upset tummy a lot the you should use complete foods that do not contain meat and animal derivatives (found in many commercially produced tin and pouch food). We would be delighted to advise the best product for your pet and if you are a complete sceptic we will, if we can, provide free samples for you to try. Your pet will love it!!!
