Dog and Cat food
Some owners perhaps already know, but there is going to be a shortage of wet dog/cat foods in the shops. No idea why?Luckily I always keep a good stock of it, but I saw in Pets at Home a few days ago that they had a notice up and were limiting purchases to stop people clearing the shelves like they did with the loo rolls a while back.
Thought I'd tell you so's you don't let your stocks get too low.

Re: Dog and Cat food
I wonder why ?Thanks for this Mups.
I feed my dog on raw food at least three times a week . I buy lambs hearts which he loves .
He doesn’t like dry food much so I make it more tasty for him with added wet food or gravy yes I spoil my dog . He’s is not in any case a food oriented dog except for human junk food!

Re: Dog and Cat food
Our dogs eat people food also. 50% vegetables , 50% meat recommended by their holistic vet. They love chicken hearts & livers, but get beef, pork, chicken, turkey and sometimes fish like halibut, cod or salmon. BUT I love that our dogs are spoiled. They mean the world to us.

Re: Dog and Cat food
Diva dog eats Wainwrights wet food, plus a bit of whatever Mr P is eating (he gives her her own plate) I got her those big buttons that dogs press so they can let you know what they want by pressing them with their paw. I got about 6 of them to cover each activity - going out, play, dinner etc...trouble is she got bored of them apart from "biscuit" one. She bashed that until the battery ran out! I didn't replace them, heh!

Re: Dog and Cat food
Cat food in particular has been a problem for a while now in the supermarkets. The shelves are generally empty. Interestingly, we were at Pets at Home yesterday and they were not imposing any restrictions. Additionally, Felix have changed all their packaging and made the boxes even smaller than the last time they made them smaller.17-04-2021, 07:35 PM

Re: Dog and Cat food
Hi There! There are lots of reasons for short supplies during COVID. Raw materials being deliverable, Manufacturers operating to full capacity, shortages of staff, new legislation at borders, Closures, Lockdowns etc. Even a few very large pet food brands are limiting production of their less popular items and focusing solely on their best sellers etc|
