The scientific stuff
On this page you will find details of the recipe and nutrients found in Berties Puppy Food.
We're very proud of this great product, and happy to tell you as much as we can about what goes into it so that you can make an informed choice about your puppy's nutrition. We think we have included everything you might need, but if there's something missing, please just ask. You can use the customer enquiry form on the website, or call us during regular office hours on 01953 714648. We may not be able to answer your question immediately, but will always come back to you, and do so as quickly as we can.
Some younger dogs can have difficulty with wheat, most don't, but some do. Berties is completely free from wheat, and the other common allergy triggers - beef and milk. There are no artificial nasties - no preservatives, artificial colourings or flavourings or anything else, just pure goodness.
Whilst we know lots about dog food, we're not vets, so if your dog is unwell or has recurring dietary problems you should seek professional advice. If you're not sure where your nearest small animal practice is to be found, there's a list here. If you are concerned about the cost of visiting the vet, The Blue Cross offers subsidised services in many areas of Great Britain, to find out more, just click this link, or you could try the PDSA here.
Berties Puppy Food is made in Great Britain from home-grown ingredients. We take great care to ensure that we make and sell consistently good product, but if there is anything that gives you cause for concern please ask, and we will do everything we can to sort out the problem.
