In response to the alarming rise in pet obesity, UK Pet Food is proud to announce the launch of an interactive and educational tool designed to empower dog owners with the knowledge and resources to combat this pressing issue.

Immerse yourself in an enlightening virtual journey through the pet nutrition landscape tailored specifically for veterinary professionals. This concise yet comprehensive full-day programme starts with an essential overview of pet food, followed by a critical exploration of various food formats, all backed by solid evidence.

The current UK and global pet food manufacturing marketplace is changing, with the rise of gourmet recipes and owners increasingly transferring lifestyle choice to their pets.

UK Pet Food, along with The Parrot Society UK and a number of other organisations and exotic vets are running the first ever Parrot Awareness Week (PAW) from 2 to 8 July 2023

Excellent to see Nicole Paley quoted in this BBC News article about a Transport & Environment (T&E) Study looking into the diversion of important pet food ingredients to biofuels, which will ultimately be worse for the planet. The story also got a mention on this morning’s Today Programme. Nicole explains that these animal fats are valuable ingredients, which are hard to replace and they are already put to good use by our industry in a very sustainable way.

An alliance of national animal charities has joined forces with FareShare and global corporate donors including Pets at Home, Petplan, Purina Petcare, Lily’s Kitchen, and Mars Petcare to help owners in need to feed their hungry pets in the face of the cost of living crisis.
