Gilbertson & Page Europe 🐶 UK-made dog food
⭐ over 150 years on the market
brands: Gilpa, Dr John & Arkwrights

Extensive distribution throughout the UK & EU

Gilbertson & Page was founded in 1873. A holder of two Royal Warrants, it’s first was received in 1884 from Queen Victoria. Today, the company is still in private, family ownership and operates from Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire. All Gilbertson & Page’s pet foods are developed and produced in-house at Welwyn. Over the course of time, the underlying principles that guide the business haven’t

really changed and Gilbertson & Page remains wedded to the simplicity of crafting highly-nutritious pet feeds and staying close to customers. Two things probably highlight the contrast with the big brands. Firstly, there’s very little in the way of advertising, with the Company preferring to attend and sponsor lots of national and local events (for example, Gilbertson & Page have been the International Sheep Dog Society’s principal sponsor for many years). Secondly, in its 140 year history, the production facilities have moved a grand total of … 6 miles! That ‘local manufacturing’ approach is important. It has allowed skills to develop over many years and for Gilbertson and Page to establish a very strong relationship with suppliers. It also makes the Company one of a relatively small number of pet feeds suppliers that still manufactures its products in the UK. This notion of “we make our own” is something that pet owners and animal professionals increasingly value. Of course, the science behind animal feeds has advanced enormously over even the past 50 years and, today, Gilbertson & Page is probably best known for its ability to formulate foods, especially for dogs, that address energy, life-stage and health issues – and to offer these ranges at very competitive prices (remember that lack of advertising I mentioned). As a mark of its innovation credentials, Gilbertson & Page launched their Valu-Mix dry dog food in 1975, almost single-handedly creating the market for dry feeds, and they’ve just built a new product testing and development lab!

Keep your dog happy and healthy on winter walks ❄️

The chill in the air is becoming more noticeable, and just like us, not every dog is a fan of the cold, the rain, or the snow! However, all dogs need their daily walks to stay fit and healthy. Here are some tips to encourage those dogs who might be a bit hesitant to head outdoors:

🧥 A good coat can make all the difference, keeping your dog warm, protected from the elements and visible but without restricting movement or vision is best.
📝 Plan the walk before mealtimes, for some dogs this then becomes part of the dinner routine and encourages them out.
🏞️Try out new routes, it’s tempting to keep to just paths and pavements in the winter time to prevent excess mud coming home but varying the walk can make it more interesting to your dog each time.
🐕 Find places your dog can be safely let off lead to explore on their own terms. For some dogs there just isn’t enough time to investigate every smell or play with other dogs, so these safe open areas are a great place to allow these behaviours.
🐶Lastly training treats. Rewarding good behaviour on walks can help with training as well as increase your dog’s enjoyment in the walk.
🐾For some dogs though, reluctance to go out and walk may be due to pain / difficulty walking or bad experiences, so always take veterinary advice if you suspect any of these.

How to keep your dog happy on winter walks ❄️🐕

Not all dogs enjoy the cold. But most dogs need to go out for their walks to stay fit and healthy ❤️

Here are some tips to help persuade the reluctant ones:

✔️ A good coat can make all the difference, keeping your dog warm, protected and visible.

✔️ Plan the walk before mealtimes.

✔️ Try out new routes. Varying the walk can make it more interesting to your dog each time.

✔️ Find places your dog can be safely let off lead to explore on their own terms.

✔️ Rewarding good behavior on walks can help with training as well as increase your dog’s enjoyment of the walk.

🔴 For some dogs, though, reluctance to go out and walk may be due to pain / difficulty walking or bad experiences. Always take veterinary advice if you suspect any of these.

Trevor overcame health issues thanks to Titanium! 🐶❤️

Thank you again to Nikki for previously sharing this story of Trevor with us!

“The picture is just for reference and because I think he’s gorgeous. He is called Trevor.

He was hand reared due to his mother being ill. I’ve had him now from 12 weeks for a year and I have struggled with his eating terribly with allergies, upset stomach, fur loss, ear infections to name a few.

I have tried every dog food and he was getting worse, costing thousands in vet fees. I popped into a pet warehouse as my boy needed a new lead and got talking to the guy who owned it. I mentioned my pup and his issues he gave me a 5kg bag free of Titanium as he was so confident it would “fix” my boy.

It has worked wonders. His ears are clean, his fur is fantastic, he’s gained much needed weight. I can’t thank you enough.

My boy is a Dogue de Bordeaux so needs a good food. I have recommended this to everyone I know and the pet warehouse have run out now and are waiting for a new supply. I have gone from spending £100+ on food per month to £30 – £40 (including a wet food for mixing) amazing stuff thank you.”
