The Barking Lot Pet Shop

The Barking Lot Pet Shop The best for your pets, naturally. Welcome to The Barking Lot of Wetherby. In fact, we don't stock any dog or cat food with less than 20% REAL meat.

At The Barking Lot, you won't find sugar and additive-laden dog and cat food, or any with meat and animal derivatives(poor quality bits of unnamed animals). Most people are shocked to discover that supermarket brands can contain only 4% meat! We specialise in healthy, natural food and treats for ALL your pets, as well as top quality training aids, toys, beds, leads, collars and accessories. We are

n't a big pet supply chain or a bulk discounters. Instead, we offer carefully selected, quality products, most of which are tested on or by our own pets. With direct access to pet nutritionists and trainers, we strive to keep informed of the latest advice in pet nutrition, health and well-being so we can pass this on to our customers. We won't sell you anything we feel is unsafe or inappropriate for your particular pet. Above all, we offer customer service second to none. The Barking Lot is an exclusive stockist of Gentle Cold Pressed Dog food, as well as Ethical Company certified brands like Applaws, Burns, Edgard & Cooper, Feelwell's, Hownd, Pooch & Mutt. We also stock Innocent Hound, James Wellbeloved, Ziwi-Peak, and our best-selling Acana & Orijen. All of our pet food, as well as some supplements and toys, come with a money-back guarantee. We stock natural supplements such as Yumove, Pooch and Mutt, Pure Flax, and Verm-x. For small animals, we have Burgess Excel and Supreme. From your new puppy to your senior dog, from cats to rabbits, from guinea pigs, degus and chinchillas to birds and fish, we have it all! Our staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We treat every pet as if it was our own, and if we don't know the answer, we'll find it for you! Come in for a browse, free advice or free tummy rubs(sorry, pets only!)

Today is a huge day for animals used in science. 🐭

The UK Government has released its strategy for phasing out the use of animals in science, alongside a £75 million funding promise.

There are specific wins that will end the suffering of many animals. Whilst we dig deep into the strategy to share more with you, read more about what we’re calling for to end animal testing! 🐇

It has been another very busy, but absolutely fabulous day out and about in the Wetherby business community.
I ran into people I haven't seen in years, met new faces in familiar places, and made a whole new group of friends.

One of my stops was at The Red Lion - Wetherby where I met these two wonderfully interesting gentlemen.
For those of you who don't know them, the gentleman on the left is Tommy Smith from Wetherby & District Royal British Legion and the gentleman on the right is Pete Wright, Manager of The Red Lion.
Both of them served in the British Military, Army & Navy respectively, and between them have transformed The Red Lion into a hub for Veterans from around the area, giving them a space to be among their brothers in arms.

For Remembrance Day on Sunday the pub is serving up bowls of Chilli, or Curry & Rice for £5, so if you're going to the parade, and fancy a spot of lunch, that's you sorted!

They also run an Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club on the last Saturday of every month from 9:30am, the date for the next one is November 29th.
Breakfast is £6, just let Pete know you're coming so he can make sure he has enough food in!

I cannot thank Pete & Karen enough for their kindness and hospitality today, and meeting Tommy was a genuine pleasure.

Talk about double-teaming! Hard to see in the photo, but the chihuahua is actually standing on his big brother (who I think is named Ezra, btw-how cool is that?!!) Both are asking nicely for treats. ❤️

A challenge for our Gentle customers. ☺️

05/11/2025

I have seen vets frothing at the mouth on forums lately, screaming the house down about raw pet foods being recalled for bacterial contamination with salmonella.

Telling the world that it's dangerous to feed raw food to your pets!

What a load of bo****ks, I say! I've been feeding my pets a raw BARF type diet for about 8 years now, and NEVER had anything happen expect having the healthiest, shiniest, most vital pets I have ever seen.

Mitzi's allergies went away after this change.

Gem was fed this food from 8 week's of age, and is rudely healthy.

Plus, this vet forgot to mention how many times processed foods and kibbles have been recalled for the EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!!

Hint: It's a LOT. And huge amounts. A bit hypocritical, no?

The processed food industry makes multi billion dollar profits, and they attack anything that threatens their hip pockets!

Fresh whole foods are the BEST diet for nearly all pets.

Raw is a bit better, but home cooked is just fine (some pets, especially older ones, do better with cooked food).

And the odd animal does better on processed crap and can't tolerate raw or fresh foods. Very rare, but I've seen a few- usually because of severe and intractable IBD etc.

For 99% of pets, fresh whole foods are the best possible diet. Of this I have NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER!

Love to hear from you in the comments. Have you changed over from processed to proper, fresh foods? How did it go? Did you see changes in your pets?

I help animals all over the world heal and be well + happy with holistic veterinary care, kind training, and energy healing. If you want me to help your pets, message me! Zoom and in person appts available.

Our #1 best-selling dog food at The Barking Lot 😊

Our Fish and Goat flavour cold-pressed food is available in 5kg or 14kg bags! Gentle is not only packed with quality ingredients, it also goes further - meaning you feed less and your dog still gets everything it needs. That’s why our daily cost is lower than most other brands, without ever cutting corners on quality 🐾
