‘Yes, I own a raw feeding business, and I still scan supermarket yellow stickers like a hawk.

Sometimes I feed gourmet. Sometimes I feed ‘rescue bargain bin’. Sometimes it’s somewhere in between. Raw feeding isn’t a flex; it’s about what you can afford, consistently.

Top tip: look in the “reduced” / yellow-sticker fridge in the supermarkets for meat that’s nearing its use by date, damage, or slow moving. Just be picky — no grey, slimy, or foul smelling packs.

Safety hack: when I bring reduced meat home, I portion, label, and freeze for a safe period before using it. Freezing helps reduce bacterial and parasite risk. For most meats, 3–5 days at −18 °C is used; for fish or wild meat, I lean toward 14 days just to be cautious. This is because when it comes to ‘supermarket meat’ the food is designed to be cooked. When it comes to raw feeding designed products they have already gone through rigorous testing.

Not every feed is going to be a 5* gourmet galore and that’s totally fine. Your dog doesn’t care. Feed what you can. Upgrade when you’re able. Don’t feel bad on the “plain mince + bone” days. You’re still doing better than my burnt toast. 🥴”

What a year it’s been and it’s not over yet💫

From emergency double heart valve replacement surgery for our lovely Mr Will (and ongoing treatment with a third operation now on the horizon ❤️ 💪), to opening a second branch of StefsPet Pantry (have you guessed where yet? 👀), to winning Pet Food Brand of the Year with Prestige Awards…

And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better we’ve been shortlisted for Retailer of the Year at the Telegraph & Argus Retail, Leisure & Hospitality Awards 2025 🏆

But wait… there’s more! We’ve now also been shortlisted for Raw Store of the Year at the PIF Awards! 🐾✨

Honestly, I’m incredibly humbled and speechless. The tears, the stress, the setbacks… they’ve all been part of the journey that’s brought us here. Every moment has been worth it for the strength, the laughter, the people we’ve met, the pets we’ve helped, the team we’ve built and the love we have for what we do. ❤️

Here’s to every single person, pet, and paw that’s been part of this wild ride with us, thank you. 🙏🏼💚

Normally, I don’t announce a new brand before it lands in store… but I just can’t contain my excitement about this one!

✨ Introducing a Northern Ireland brand creating both raw and cooked meals for dogs, made with love, care, and truly natural ingredients. ✨

Their food is crafted in NI, using a kitchen-to-bowl approach — fresh ingredients, no nasties, and no unnecessary processing. Whether you feed raw or prefer gently cooked, Barking Bistro offers something for every pup.

From nourishing 80:10:10 to a range of cooked goodness each recipe is balanced, simple, and full of real goodness.

We’re absolutely thrilled to be adding them to our line-up at Stefs Pet Pantry, supporting another small independent business that shares our passion for high-quality, wholesome feeding.

Keep your eyes peeled 👀 for their arrival — we’ll be sharing taste tests, feeding guides, and maybe even a few exclusive launch offers once they hit the shelves.

They have also dropped a new pancreatitis recipe (which only ended up winning dog food new product …. Would like to say I was privileged enough to judge this category). We will also be introducing their new range of supplements too 🙌🏻.

🐾 Drop a comment below if you’re as excited as we are to see Barking Bistro join the Stefs family!
