Darling's Real Dog Food

About Us

Darling’s is a small, ethical, family run dog food company. We believe that dogs should eat the same sort of diet that they would enjoy if they lived in the wild.

This isn’t some romantic notion of ours. There is a growing body of evidence that modern, processed dog food is actually bad for dogs whereas if they eat the diet that nature intended for them – that is to say raw, fresh meat, bones and vegetables – they are both healthier and happier.

What we offer, therefore, is a range of raw, fresh dog foods, bones, biscuits and treats. We prepare everything to order using locally produced ingredients and all our recipes have been designed and approved by Darling’s own Chief Veterinary Surgeon.

Given the quality of the ingredients and the personal nature of our service you may be surprised by how little it costs. We can feed a small dog for around 99p a day including treats, a medium sized dog for £1.65 and a large dog for £2.50. Not a high price for knowing that your dog is getting the best.

Dogs and their wolf ancestors have been eating raw food for over a million years. It is what their teeth and digestive systems are designed for and, as you can imagine, they thrive on it.

Benefits include a glossy coat, healthy skin, lean muscle tone, robust immune system, sweet smelling breath, healthy teeth and gums, increased energy, better digestion, strong heart and more energy and vitality.

Dogs eating a raw food diet can be expected to live longer and to suffer less illness and disease. Indeed, if your dog has any health issues now (even minor problems such as allergies, dry skin, bad breath and what the Americans refer to, euphemistically, as ‘gas’) it is quite likely that a switch to a raw food diet will clear them up.

The core element of Darling’s is our raw, fresh dog food – and we’re not exaggerating when we say dogs go crazy for it.

We make it using lean, minced meat (choose from free range chicken, prime beef or tender lamb), grated vegetables and a natural mineral and vitamin supplement. What about the all important bone element – so crucial to your dog’s health? We grind the bone (so that it can barely be seen) and mix it in.

We also supply individual bones in convenient sizes as well as hand-baked biscuits and treats.

	“Great food for a healthier dog” Miss Hutchinson Reviewed on 8th January, 2010 I used to feed my nine-year-old Cocker Spaniel on kibble, he loved it but the vet's bills gave a different view. He had bad breath caused by sore gums and poor teeth. Every eight months his teeth had to be cleaned under anesthetic (not good for an older dog), and the final straw came when two teeth were extracted. Since then Barney has been on Darling's dog food - he can't get enough of it - his favourite is lamb - and no more big veterinary dental bills for me.
	“Darling's Real Dog Food” Ms MacCarthy Reviewed on 7th January, 2010 I have a Lhasa Apso called Charlie, who would not eat nuts or tin food. I now have him on real raw food and he just loves it. It is easy to use their website and order the food. As I was not sure what to do in the begining, I was able to talk to one of the girls at the company who was more than helpful. I really urge you to give them a try. It is wonderful!!!!
	“Thank you all at Darlings” Mrs Mackay Reviewed on 6th January, 2010 I was introduced to Darlings via a friend who feeds a natural raw diet to her dogs. I was struggling to find anything that suited my poor boxer who was suffering from colitis and losing condition. I contacted Darlings and they were so very helpful and knowledgable. I have tried Kiwa on Darlings now for 2 months and I have my happy healthy girl back who is really looking forward to her breakfast and dinner each day. Her breath is good and sweet and HOORAH her stool is normal again and her back end also is sweet - no more botty burps!!. Thank you so very much to Darlings for all your advice and support, and for caring with the follow up phone call to make sure that all was going well.
