A range of all-natural, nutritionally balanced Gourmet dinners has launched with a selection of grain-free complete wet meals, all with high-quality ingredients, a 75% meat content and free from any nasties. A tasty range of Soft Bites natural treats for dogs also launches at the start of 2020. Sales of the dog food range and treats will contribute at least £50,000 per annum to support the Trust’s conservation work. 

The special Gourmet range includes recipes such as duck & venison with green beans and apricots or turkey & goose with pumpkin and cranberries. As well as the hand-baked grain free Soft Bites treats, a natural cold-pressed dry dog food range will also be launched next year. The range will be available to buy directly from many National Trust shops, national trust.org.uk/shop, forthglade.com, Waitrose and leading independent pet retailers. 

Over the next three years the project will put developments in place so that dog owners can enjoy a great day out with their four-legged friends, whilst helping to protect the special places that the National Trust care for. And for those that aren’t doggy fans, it will ensure there are consistent expectations of dog owners and highlight the dog-free places available to enjoy.
