This pet-loving place can accommodate you if you own a horse or a hamster, a parrot or a Betta fish, a lizard or a rabbit. My interest was in fishy snacks for two very spoilt pooches who give us unconditional love, two words that require nowt more to be said. Just like the flip side of that coin, irreconcilable differences, but boy was I surprised at the vast array of the calorie, vitamin, fat, protein, trace element counted selection for pets and the science behind it. I was initially just looking at dried food for dogs, mostly bagged and in pellets from a few hundred grams to 20 kilos plus when I passed the freezer to see frozen rats and hamsters for hungry snakes, lizards and meerkats. So, for pooches there was reindeer, wild boar, salmon, trout, turkey, cod, herrings, chicken and vegetarian and these doggy proteins are supported by things like kale, ginger, carrots, peas, forest fruits and on and on the selections went, either for gut health, digestion, teeth cleaning, coat shining, stamina and skin, coat and breath enhancement. Nothing was sold based on it tasting good. Not only do they farm the forests and fish the oceans for food but they go to the most mountainous region on earth too, with gluten free doggy chews made with Himalayan yak milk. It's hard to imagine Tibetan, Nepalese and Bhutanese farmers having enough yak milk to export it for pet food (I wonder if the chews taste like yak butter tea served to humans; it has a salty, plain yogurt taste - and the yellow yak butter helps chapped lips). I left the yak milk snacks and ended up buying vacuum packed, dried, 100% cod skins from China. Earlier in the day I'd bought dried haddock doggy treats from the local food market. These haddock doggy snacks, which were made locally in the fishing village of Kilkeel (just 20 miles away) were 100% fish, including skin, bone etc. The haddock came in at £8 for 200 grams but for equal weight the Chinese cod skins from 6.000 miles came in at £3.50. The pooches were not discerning - a fishy snack is just a snack, period - once (quickly) swallowed with a lick they really just wanted to know when the next one will arrive and care not if it's a fish from Kilkeel or Guangdong so I suppose I'll cover for them. read more
