As a vet, I know how important is that our foods are healthy for your pets - and l also know how important it is to produce our foods in a responsible manner.

That's why I ensure that all of our ingredients are sourced as locally as possible. For example, the meat in our wet foods comes from Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, the salmon in our dry cat food comes from Scotland, and the chicken is British. Our rice comes from Italy - which is as close as we can get to this country!

I am also passionate about the welfare of the animals we use to make our foods. All of our meat is reared in the UK, and we are moving towards a free-range future, with all of our wet foods now containing only welfare-friendly free-range chicken.

We never, ever test any of our products on animals - except willing volunteers including Jack and Jill, and our ‘Taste Panel' of friendly dogs and cats. And if you'd like to help out with any of our product development, email ‘tasting@petskitchen.co.uk' to join up!
