I am so excited to announce that I am now working in collaboration with Ross Lomond from BugBakes and Wild Pet food.
Why did I choose this company to be an ambassador?
There are so many reasons.
Many owners believe that raw feeding is the gold standard for dogs, but it doesn’t suit every lifestyle.
WILD Pet Food delivers all the benefits of raw in a convenient, dry format. Using low-temperature, cold-pressing techniques to lock in nutrients without heavy processing. Each recipe is truly 80:20, with 80% high-quality meat and 20% fruits, veggies, and superfoods—measured after dehydration for true accuracy. Free from grains, peas, fillers, and artificial nasties, we use only simple, natural ingredients you can trust. WILD Pet Food: the nutrition of raw, made easy with a low-processed, nutrient-packed diet that’s perfect for your dog.
BUG Bakes has all the benefits of WILD with the added bonus of sustainability - BUG Bakes uses insects as the main protein source.
BUG Bakes is the ONLY cold-pressed, insect based diet on the market!
Both WILD and BUG Bakes are cold-pressed in the UK. The majority of cold-pressed diets are imported from Germany. Since feeding my dogs WILD and BUG Bakes, I have reduced my food miles considerably!
Recyclable packaging which reduces the amount of waste I send to landfill.
AND as you all probably know because I have been banging on about Cold-pressed V Kibble for so long.......Cold-pressed food breaks down in the stomach whilst kibble swells. The way cold-pressed food is digested reduces the risk of Gastric Dilation and Volvulus (GDV) commonly refered to as Bloat which is a painful, life threatening condition that requires emergency surgery.

Eco friendly, cold pressed insect based dog food, both wet dog food and dry dog food and treats. The UK's first dog food made with sustainable insect protein. Good for your dog and good for the planet.

Please be mindful of your dog! Did you know it takes up to 4 weeks for your dog to adjust to sudden changes in the weather?
☀️ Walk early in the morning or late evening.
☀️ Leave your dog home during the day.
☀️ If the ground is too hot to put your hand on, don't expect your dog to walk on it.
☀️ Do not leave your dog in your car.
☀️ No dog ever died from missing a walk.
