Meet Our Suppliers - Petalicious
An introduction to our latest new supplier, Petalicious.
Petalicious produces a wide selection of raw food that is nutritionally balanced, free from grains and fillers alongside their yummy raw and dehydrated treats that are guaranteed to please!
The story of how Petalicious came to be starts back in 2010 when Founding partners, Martin and Steph Hill, originally opened a small, independent butcher shop in the heart of Norfolk. But it wasn’t just steaks and chops that customers were after and the topic of raw pet food, or BARF diet, was regularly bought up by their clientele.
The story continues from a place of personal medical obstacles and how to provide the best for Steph's beloved little Lhasa Apso, Coco.
Around 2010, Coco was diagnosed by the vet with liver disease, so spurred on by an effort to have as much time with Coco as possible, the married couple began to further investigate the benefits of raw feeding. Not before long, the nutritional advantages that a raw diet offers to pets become evident and it was this discovery that led Steph and Martin to re-focus their efforts on the pet food industry. So, with growing customer demand and a desire to do all they could for cuddly Coco.
Steph and Martin took a leap of faith and in 2011, Petalicious was born!
Upon feeding Coco on Petalicious raw food, she became a different dog; energetic and living a full, happy and active life. Coco defied the odds and lived with the couple for a further 5 years and made it to 17 before she eventually passed!
Whilst there can be no doubt that this wouldn’t have been possible without the vets’ assistance, it is undeniable that the change to a BARF diet had a profound effect on Cocos’ quality of life in her remaining years.
Today, Petalicious is very much a family run affair and boasts a modest workforce of 6 people (4 of which are all family!) and backed by the years of butchery skills and knowledge, it sources the very best in UK, human-grade meat and will even source it locally where they can as their game is ethically sourced from the gorgeous fields surrounding their Norfolk-based HQ!
Their range includes nutritionally balanced, complete raw food, complementary meat chunks and offal as well as a range of 100% dehydrated meat treats.
