Discover the benefits of including dry dog food, sometimes referred to as kibble dog food in your dog's diet. A complete dry food for dogs offers high energy content, a longer shelf life, and effortless cleanup after mealtimes for you as well. Moreover, its crunchy texture promotes dental health by reducing plaque and improving gum health at the same time.

Here at Pets & Friends, we can offer you a diverse range of complete dry dog food options suitable for all life stages, including puppy dry dog food and specialised kibble food for various needs, such as working dogs and hypoallergenic diets.

So, whatever your specific requirements, we can help you in finding the perfect dry dog food to keep your dog well-fed, happy, and healthy.

Why should I add dry dog food to my dog’s diet?

Dry dog food gives you a much higher energy content, allowing you to provide smaller portions to meet your dog's nutritional requirements while keeping them satisfied.

The crunchy texture also provides mental stimulation and stress relief for your dog, mimicking their natural chewing instincts.

Then, on top of this, it also helps to improve their oral health, which is key with dry dog food. As the crunchy kibble texture helps fight plaque and tartar as your dog enjoys their meal.

You can also use alone, or as a mixed diet with wet dog food as well.

How do I store dry dog food?

Storing dry food for dogs is a breeze, with kibble bags being more manageable due to the lower water content.

This makes it easy to transport on trips and outings, ensuring your dog's mealtime routine remains consistent.

Is kibble dog food cheaper?

Typically, yes, as dry dog food offers a cost-effective way to provide a balanced and nutritious diet for your pet, thanks to its lower water content and higher energy content.

Costs may vary depending on the brand and your dog's unique needs.

So, if you’re ready to buy or thinking about a switch to dry food for your dog, or need expert advice on pet nutrition, our knowledgeable pet experts are available online and in-store.

Our trained nutritional advisors can even guide you through brand choices, recipe options, and dietary considerations as well, to help you make the best choice for your dog.

How to Choose the Perfect Dry Dog Food For Your Best Friend?

Finding the right food for your dog can feel like a big decision - after all, you want them to be happy, healthy, and full of beans.

That’s why we’ve put together a huge range of high-quality dry dog food, making it easy for you to find the perfect bag of kibble that your dog will love, and that will love them back.

As a result, dry dog food is a fantastic choice for many owners – it’s convenient, great for your dog's teeth, easy to store, and just provides your furry friend with a complete, balanced meal in every bowl.

So, whether you've just welcomed a tiny puppy into your home or are caring for a wise old senior, we have something for every stage of their life.

Food for Every Age and Size

As you may know, a dog’s nutritional needs change dramatically as they grow.

For instance, a tiny puppy needs lots of energy and specific nutrients for healthy development, while an older dog might need support for their joints and a diet that's a bit lighter on the calories.

So what should you consider here?

Puppy Food

Our puppy formulas are just packed with everything your new arrival needs to grow strong and healthy.

They're also rich in high-quality protein for muscle development and have the right balance of calcium and phosphorus for strong bones and teeth as well.

You'll also find options for every breed size, from small and mini to large breeds too.

Adult Dog Food

For dogs in the prime of their life, our adult dog food range provides them with the perfect balance of energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients to keep them in top condition. As a result, we have a huge variety of recipes, featuring high-quality meat and fish to suit every preference.

So, whether you have a super-active working dog or a more relaxed companion, you can find a food that matches their lifestyle.

Senior Dog Food

As dogs get older, their needs change accordingly. This is where our senior dog food is specially formulated to support them in their golden years.

These diets then often include ingredients like glucosamine for joint support, are easier to digest, and have fewer calories to help prevent weight gain, for example.

Catering for Special Diets and Sensitivities

Just like us, some dogs have sensitive tummies, allergies, or specific health needs.

As a result, our dry dog food collection includes a wide variety of specialist foods to help manage these issues and keep your dog comfortable and happy.

Grain-Free Dog Food

A great choice for dogs with sensitive digestion or grain allergies is our Grain-Free Dog Food.

This is because these recipes use alternative sources of carbohydrates like sweet potato or peas, making them gentle on the stomach. Many of our recipes are also free from common allergens like wheat, soya, and dairy.

Sensitive Stomachs & Skin

If your dog then suffers from itchy skin or digestive troubles, our sensitive formulas can also make a world of difference here.

Made with easily digestible proteins like fish or lamb and often including skin-soothing oils, they're designed to calm things down from the inside out.

Weight Management

It's also important to keep your dog at a healthy weight. This is where our light and diet formulas come in, as these are lower in fat and calories but still packed with all the nutrients they need, helping you manage their waistline without them feeling hungry as you do so.

Joint & Bone Support

For large breeds or older dogs, keeping their joints healthy is also a priority.

As a result, here you want to look out for our foods enriched with glucosamine and chondroitin, which help to maintain healthy cartilage and mobility.

A World of Flavours and Top Brands

We also know that some dogs can be picky eaters, which is why we stock a fantastic variety of flavours.

From classic chicken and hearty lamb to delicious salmon and venison, there’s a taste to tempt every palate.

So much so, that we are also proud to partner with some of the best and most trusted pet brands in the business.

For instance, here you will find something to suit every preference and budget. We champion brands that use high-quality, natural ingredients with no artificial preservatives or fillers. You'll find premium options using human-grade meat, ingredients that are sustainably sourced, and many now use recyclable packaging too. For instance here such as Acana, Orijen, and Taste of the Wild, as well as vet-recommended favourites like Royal Canin.

We also stock brilliant grain-free options from the likes of Collards.

So, no matter your dog’s age, breed, or dietary needs, you’re sure to find the perfect food to keep their tail wagging right here.
