Celebrity vet Joe Inglis (who you might recognise from BBC’s The One Show) has recently launched a new line of dry dog food called Pet’s Kitchen. Each recipe has been designed by Joe himself, using his veterinary understanding of specific ingredients and including high quality, human grade foods, natural glucosamine and chondroitin for healthy joints, natural prebiotics for healthy digestion and omega 3 oils from fish oil for healthy skin, coat and immune system.
I feed all of my dogs on a raw diet but I appreciate that it isn’t convenient or desirable for every dog owner, so I wanted to find the best dry dog food I could. Joe is passionate about feeding natural, high quality foods because in his practice as a vet, he sees what a difference diet can make to a dog’s health and happiness. As a behaviourist I can vouch for this - diet is so relevant to behaviour that finding out what food the dog is eating is one of the first questions I ask my clients. Which is what makes Vet’s Kitchen stand out from the competition. I believe Vet’s Kitchen is the finest dry dog food available on the market today. My dogs, who don’t normally like dry dog food, went crazy for it!
A friend of mine with a 6 month old Labrador cross Springer Spaniel called Rafferty tried the puppy formula and he loved it, too. Here’s what he had to say:
“He definitely liked the food as he devoured it with great gusto, however, despite its more concentrated nature I got the impression he felt a little short changed with the portion sizes! From our point of view we think it is a fantastic idea when space is a premium that you can get more meals from less volume and Jo thought so particularly having lugged around the 15k bags. The packaging stands as a healthier product and having that endorsement from a celebrity vet adds to reassure the consumer of the quality of the product. Don’t know how it compares in terms of pricing but feel it would definitely stand out in the crowd in terms of a new and premium product.”
Rafferty’s owner shared my thoughts on the Vet’s Kitchen range:
1. The sturdy plastic bags are resealable which seals in the freshness. They’re a handy size, too and come in a range of sizes including the industry-standard 1.3kg, 7.5kg and 15kg deal (consisting of 2x 7.5kg bags). The packaging is impressive with clear, jargon-free advice.
2. Vet’s Kitchen is concentrated, so it’s great value costing about 3 times less per day than other dog foods. It works out to be about 70p per day for a 10kg dog in comparison to £3.20 per day for a similar quality wet dog food.
3. We trust it because Joe puts his name, face, experience and registration as a veterinary surgeon to the product.
4. It’s an excellent price, making it very good value for money.
Dry kibble is perfect for training your puppy or adult dog by weighing out their daily ration and then using each piece of kibble as a reward for desired behaviour; you’ll get your dog walking nicely by your side or stop them from pulling in one or two walks. My advice is to never feed your dog in a bowl as it’s a waste of training opportunities. If you have any food left over after your walk or you’re in a rush or sometimes haven’t got time to feed them by hand, put the remainder of their food into a KONG chewtoy perhaps with a little peanut butter or simply on its own. For the best summer treat for your dog, or if they’re a bit of a gobbler, put Vet’s Kitchen into the KONG, seal the small hole with some cheese or peanut butter and add a little water then pop in the freezer. Leave for a few hours or overnight and you have a frozen KONG lolly which your dog will take much longer to lick and chew to get the food out as it defrosts.
Having worked with Joe, I know how much attention he pays to detail and how determined he is to get things right but he’s excelled himself with Vet’s Kitchen. I highly recommend it and suggest you do your dog and your purse a favour and switch to Vet’s Kitchen.
