A Perthshire raw pet food brand is shipping more than 140,000 canine meals every week to dog owners across the UK after experiencing rapid growth.
According to a report in The Scotsman, Bella & Duke, an online subscription service which supplies frozen dog food made from natural ingredients, has enjoyed double-digit growth month-on-month since it was established less than two years ago.
The Blairgowrie-based business offers customers across the UK a subscription to canine meals made from meat blended with seasonally-adjusted vegetables and fruits. All are gluten and grain-free and all meat is sourced from human grade UK factories accredited by the British Retail Consortium.
It now delivers more than 10,000 pet food packages each month, confaining about 40,000 meals.
Bella & Duke was founded by friends Mark Scott and Tony Ottley after three of their four dogs developed cancer, The Scotsman reported. The pair told the newspaper they were concerned that processed diets had contributed to their illnesses and decided to take action.
The business revealed a near £1m investment boost from a funding round in December, following on from £300,000 seed investment it had secured earlier in the year.
