Savvy dog owner swaps supermarket dog food to save over £200
Beth said the decision to change to a food subscription didn't come easy but now her and her two rescue Staffie crosses love it As a dedicated owner of two rescue Staffie crosses, Phoebe and Frank, devoted dog mum Beth knows that keeping them well fed is her number on priority. Recently faced with a difficult choice, Beth made a tough decision that turned out to be one of her best yet. Already concerned that the price of their regular dog food was gradually rising, Beth saw that Phoebe, the pickier eater, was starting showing less interest in her meals. She said: "After comparing various brands based on cost, nutritional value and customer feedback, we finally decided to change their diet, opting for a subscription of Forthglade's Lightly Baked Lamb Kibble, which has been a blessing for several reasons." The dry food subscription offers options of 2kg, 6kg, 12kg, and 18kg bags. Although prices vary depending on the flavour, the lamb variety starts at £12.59, reduced from £13.99. Beth explained: "We opt for the 12kg option as it lasts us exactly four weeks. If you have a smaller dog, the same 12kg could last significantly longer - potentially eight to 12 weeks depending on size, resulting in additional savings," according to the Mirror. Every month, two 6kg bags of nutritionally balanced kibble are delivered directly to her house with free next-day delivery. Happy with the service, Beth added: "I particularly value the convenience of receiving two 6kg bags instead of a single 12kg bag, as it's easier to manage and helps keep the food fresh." The subscription is set at £62.99, a markdown from the usual £69.99, already offering savings as Beth claims that her previous food expenditure was £80 per month. In total, she is saving around £17 each month, which amounts to saving over £200 annually, and that's before taking into account the exclusive subscriber perks. Speaking of more reasons to switch to Forthglade, Beth explained: "I bagged a significant discount on my initial order, shelling out less than £50 for the first month. Subsequently, with each renewal of our subscription, we've racked up 'rewards', and currently have roughly £8 in our account that we can choose to subtract from a future order. "I could opt to make one month slightly cheaper, or hoard my credits until I have enough for a 'free' bag." Forthglade isn't the only brand providing subscription services for their food. Elsewhere, Marleybones is offering new customers 30% off their trial selection boxes, while Butternut Box is offering 25% off the first two boxes for owners in similar subscription schemes. Beth said: "One feature I particularly appreciate about the Forthglade subscription is its adaptability. We're due to go on holiday soon and our order would have arrived whilst we were away, so we simply delayed our delivery by two weeks with a few clicks. "No phone calls, no fuss, just a straightforward online adjustment. Even better, it was dispatched three hours later and arrived the following afternoon, with next day delivery included as standard." Seeking even more convenience, Beth decided to tweak her subscription slightly because her orders were always placed on a Saturday, resulting in Monday deliveries. Since making the change, her deliveries now arrive on Thursdays, which is much more convenient for her household. She added: "The service is remarkably flexible, allowing us to easily skip, pause, or delay orders. Forthglade also sends reminders before dispatching orders, and with no contract to tie us down, we can cancel at any time if needed. "But what really matters is whether Phoebe and Frank enjoy their meals, and I'm delighted to report they've been wolfing down their food - the lamb variety has become a firm favourite after years of eating chicken kibble." Other pet owners on Trustpilot share the enthusiasm, with Forthglade boasting a 4.6-star rating. One reviewer said: "The website is helpful for allowing you to make choices. Customer services are responsive and address any issues directly with you - a real person not a Bot. Food is delivered quickly, well packaged. Most importantly I don't think in the three months we have had our pup, I have wasted a single ounce of dried food as she dives on it every day." A fellow satisfied customer wrote: "I have just changed my subscription with Forthglade and it was so easy to do," shared another satisfied customer. "It's so far so good as my boys are now on the Senior dog wet food. The delivery is always so prompt. Keep up the good work." However, some customers expressed a desire for more variety. One pet owner stated: "I have been getting the Salmon/Sardine multipack on subscription for a few months now and my dog loves it. Easy to change delivery days with subscription and never worry about running out. Great for my dogs allergies who can only have fish but wish the multipack had more than 2 flavours for more variety. Another customer penned: "Subscription order came on time, notification was received of when payment was taken, my 3 little dogs are very happy that Mum didn't run out of their chew sticks," adding, "It's one less thing to think about when doing my shopping." Beth added: "In the past, I used to place orders manually, but the Forthglade subscription has truly been a blessing, eliminating one task from my life admin to-do list. The next day delivery is convenient, and the perks are a real bonus. "Plus, I've frequently ordered their treats and wet food from there too, so now everything arrives simultaneously." She concluded: "One crucial aspect for me was ensuring we weren't compromising quality for convenience - Forthglade remains a premium brand, but they simply know how to cater to their customers. It's one of the easiest, smartest switches we've made, and my only regret is not doing it sooner."

'I made one smart and easy switch to my dogs meals and it saved me over £200 a year'
As a devoted owner of two rescue Staffie crosses, Phoebe and Frank, their nutritional wellbeing is my number one priority. However, we recently faced a challenging decision that turned out to be one of our best yet. Our usual dog food was steadily increasing in price, and Phoebe, the fussier eater, began showing disinterest at meal times. After evaluating various different brands based on cost, nutritional content, and customer reviews, we finally made the decision to swap their diet, opting for a subscription of Forthglade's Lightly Baked Lamb Kibble, which has proven to be a godsend for various reasons. The dry food subscription offers options of 2kg, 6kg, 12kg, and 18kg bags. Although prices fluctuate depending on the flavour, the lamb variety starts at £12.59, reduced from £13.99. We choose the 12kg option as it lasts us precisely four weeks. If you have a smaller dog, the same 12kg could last considerably longer - potentially eight to 12 weeks depending on size, resulting in further savings, reports the Mirror. Each month, two 6kg bags of nutritionally balanced kibble are delivered to our doorstep with complimentary next-day delivery. I particularly appreciate the convenience of receiving two 6kg bags instead of a single 12kg bag, as it's easier to handle and helps maintain the freshness of the food. The subscription is priced at £62.99, a reduction from the usual £69.99, already providing savings as our previous food cost was £80 per month. In total, we're pocketing around £17 each month, equating to over £200 annually, and that's before considering the exclusive subscriber benefits. For instance, I secured a substantial discount on my initial order, paying less than £50 for the first with each renewal of our subscription, we've accumulated 'rewards', and currently have approximately £8 in our account that we can opt to deduct from a future order. I could choose to make one month slightly cheaper, or accumulate my credits until I have enough for a 'free' bag. Forthglade isn't the only brand offering subscription services for their food. Elsewhere, Marleybones is granting new customers 30% off their trial selection boxes, while Butternut Box is serving up 25% off the first two boxes for owners in similar subscription schemes. One aspect I particularly like about the Forthglade subscription is its flexibility. We're due to go on holiday soon and our order would have arrived whilst we were away, so we simply postponed our delivery by two weeks with a few clicks. No phone calls, no hassle, just a straightforward online adjustment. Even better, it was dispatched three hours later and arrived the following afternoon, with next day delivery included as standard. Another reason we opted to adjust our subscription was due to the fact that our orders were consistently placed on a Saturday, leading to delivery on Monday. We've since changed this, and now our deliveries arrive on Thursday, which suits us much better. It's super flexible, too, with the ability to skip, pause, or delay orders with ease. Forthglade emails reminders before dispatch, plus, there's no binding contract, allowing for cancellation at any time should it not meet your needs. But ultimately, the true test is whether Phoebe and Frank take to it, and I'm thrilled to report it's been clean bowls all round - the lamb variety has been a standout favourite after years of chicken kibble. This sentiment is shared by other pet owners on Trustpilot, where Forthglade boasts a 4.6-star rating. One reviewer praised: "The website is helpful for allowing you to make choices. Customer services are responsive and address any issues directly with you - a real person not a Bot. Food is delivered quickly, well packaged.

'I ditched my dogs' food for a subscription and saved over £200'
We recently switched to Forthglade's dog food subscription and it's already made a huge difference for our fussy Staffie crosses, Phoebe and Frank - my only regret is not doing it sooner As the proud owner of two rescue Staffie crosses, Phoebe and Frank, ensuring they get the very best when it comes to their nutrition is a top priority. But recently, we had to make a tough decision - and it turned out to be one of the best we ever made. Our go-to dog food was becoming more expensive by the month, and Phoebe - the pickier of the pair - started turning her nose up at mealtimes. So, I had a scout around and compared a number of brands on their price, nutritional value and shopper reviews, and we settled on a subscription of Forthglade's Lightly Baked Lamb Kibble, and honestly, it's been a game changer. With the dry food subscription, owners can choose from 2kg, 6kg, 12kg and 18kg bags. While prices may vary depending on the flavour, the lamb starts at £12.59 down from £13.99. Personally, we opt for the 12kg as we know this lasts us exactly four weeks. If you have a smaller dog, that same 12kg could stretch you much further - potentially eight to 12 weeks depending on size, saving even more in the long run. Every month, two 6kg bags of nutritionally complete kibble lands on our doorstep with free next-day delivery. Personally I love that it comes in two 6kg bags rather than one 12kg one as it makes it much more manageable to move around, and keeps the food fresher. The subscription costs £62.99 instead of the regular £69.99, which already saves us money as our previous food was £80 per month. In total, we're saving around £17 per month, which works out at over £200 per year, and that's before you factor in the exclusive subscriber perks. For example, I managed to get a hefty discount on my first order and paid less than £50 for the first month. Since then, every time our subscription has renewed, we've earned 'rewards' and currently have around £8 in our account that we can choose to knock off a future order. I could decide to make one month a little cheaper, or save up my credits until I have enough for a 'free' bag. Forthglade isn't the only brand offering subscription services on their food. Elsewhere, Marleybones is offering new customers 30% off their trial selection boxes, with Butternut Box dishing out 25% off owners' first two boxes in similar subscription services. One of my favourite things about the Forthglade subscription, though, is the flexibility. We're heading on holiday soon and our order would have been due while we were away, so we simply moved our delivery back by two weeks with a few clicks. No phone calls, no fuss, just an easy online tweak. What's even better is that it was dispatched three hours later and arrived the following afternoon, with next day delivery coming as standard. Another reason we did want to tweak the subscription was because our orders were always placed on a Saturday, and therefore wouldn't arrive until Monday, which is worth keeping in mind. They now arrive on a Thursday instead which is much more convenient. I also like that you can skip, pause, or delay orders, and Forthglade sends a handy email reminder before each order. There's no contract, so it can be cancelled at any time if it's not right for you. Of course, the most important thing though, is that Phoebe and Frank enjoy it and let me tell you - it's been clean bowls all round. The lamb has been a real hit after years of chicken kibble. They seem to have reached a whole new level of excitement for mealtimes and as a dog mum, nothing makes me happier than to see them happy and healthy. Other pet owners have echoed my thoughts on Trustpilot, too, where Forthglade has earned a 4.6 star rating from shoppers. One said: 'The website is helpful for allowing you to make choices. customer services are responsive and address any issues directly with you - a real person not a Bot. Food is delivered quickly, well packaged. Most importantly I don't think in the three months we have had our pup, I have wasted a single ounce of dried food as she dives on it every day.' 'I have just changed my subscription with Forthglade and it was so easy to do,' said another. 'It's so far so good as my boys are now on the Senior dog wet food. The delivery is always so prompt. Keep up the good work.' Some people said they would prefer more variety. One owner said: 'I have been getting the Salmon/Sardine multipack on subscription for a few months now and my dog loves it.

'Subscription order came on time, notification was received of when payment was taken, my 3 little dogs are very happy that Mum didn't run out of their chew sticks,' penned a fourth, 'It's one less thing to think about when doing my shopping.' Previously I used to manually order food and the Forthglade subscription really has been a godsend for taking one thing off my life admin to-do list. The next day delivery is convenient, and the perks are a real bonus. Plus I've often ordered their treats and wet food from there too, so now I can just have everything arrive at the same time. And one thing that was really important to me was that we weren't sacrificing quality for convenience - Forthglade is still a premium brand, but they just know how to look after their customers. It's one of the easiest, smartest switches we've made and my only regret is not doing it sooner.

Dog owner claims 89p-a-day natural food 'improved condition 100%' after vet's dire warning
The Pure Pet Food subscription box has a range of different flavours and vet-approved recipes packed with all-natural, unprocessed ingredients - and it's currently on offer Dog owners are turning to a natural food delivery service to help their pets get fit for summer, with some even claiming it's saved their dogs' lives. While recipe boxes like Hello Fresh and Gousto have long been popular among humans wanting to eat healthily, the new service from Pure Pet Food allows four-legged friends to receive their own customised menus delivered straight to their door. Customers who've already tried the service have hailed it as a 'game changer' for their pups. And the brand is currently offering a 40% off introductory deal for those thinking about trying it. The Pure Pet Food subscription box offers a variety of flavours and vet-approved recipes filled with all-natural, unprocessed ingredients, making it ideal for dogs suffering from food intolerances. Owners simply add water and stir to rehydrate the food, with some customers even using a bit of warm water to serve their furry friend a hot meal. The plan is delivered free of charge and starts from just 89p a day for a fully personalised menu based on the pet's age, weight and any health conditions. Currently, shoppers can save 40% on their first box and 15% off the next two. The ingredients are so natural that when the brand appeared on Dragon's Den, one of the company's owners impressed two of the Dragons by eating one of the recipes himself, reports the Mirror. Elsewhere, Marleybones is offering new customers 30% off their trial selection boxes, with Butternut Box dishing out 25% off owners' first two boxes in similar subscription services. Thousands of pet owners have already made the switch to this brand, with many reporting a significant improvement in their dogs' overall health and wellbeing. The food has been credited with helping to alleviate a range of issues, from skin conditions to digestive problems. With an impressive 4.6 out of 5-star rating on Trustpilot based on over 11,000 customer reviews, it's clear that this brand is making a real difference in the lives of dogs and their owners. Some customers have even gone so far as to say that the food has saved their dog's life. One reviewer shared a remarkable story of how the food helped to turn her 15 year old dog's health around. Despite being told by vets that her dog likely had cancer and that the prognosis was bleak, she started feeding him this brand and saw a dramatic improvement in his condition. She believes that the food has helped to manage her dog's gastrointestinal issues and has given him a new lease on life. She explained: "We have been on a roller coaster with Muttley since January this year, and at 15 years, I thought we were losing him. Scans, bloods, more scans and finally told that he must have cancer, but the vets didn't know where. I was advised to keep him comfortable and expect the worst soon. In fact, they would have happily put him to sleep at this time, as they said he looked worse. "Started him on Pure and have not looked back. I feel it's IBS or some similar gastrointestinal issue, not cancer at all, and when he's poorly, it's a flare-up. The vet wouldn't listen to me regarding this at all. Overall, his condition has improved 100%. "He still has occasional flare-ups, but nothing we can't manage. Many people have remarked on how well 'and younger' he looks. He plays with his toys again and goes for walks, all of which have pretty much stopped. This food is a life changer. I tell everyone I meet how it saved my boy and gave him his quality of life back." Another satisfied customer shared their positive experience, saying: "I honestly can't recommend Pure Pet Food enough. I love the way you can measure the correct amount your doggie needs, which helps with their weight. Lulu, my miniature dachshund, was overweight and had patchy skin with hair loss. We tried everything, after two months on this food, she is like a different dog, Her coat is glossy and she looks young again, I only wish they did this for humans!". Many customers have lauded the brand for its convenience and cost-effectiveness compared to raw food while still offering similar benefits. One customer detailed their experience: "Switching to Pure Pet Food has been a game-changer for feeding my two dogs. Previously, I fed them a raw diet, which led to numerous inconveniences. It required an extra freezer to store the meals, and I always had to remember to thaw it overnight, which became quite a hassle. Besides the logistical challenges, it was also rather costly. "Now I purchase just four bags each month, and I mix it with specialised kibble tailored for my German Shepherd and Dalmatian. The results speak for themselves! Their coats have never looked shinier, and their digestion has improved markedly. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this switch. Pure Pet Food has simplified our feeding routine and ensures my dogs are thriving without the hassle of a raw diet." However, not all pets were immediately taken with the natural cuisine – a discerning canine was reported to turn up its nose after an initial taste. "I have to say that the person on customer service was so polite and nice, which was so refreshing. However, my dog, who is fusy, did not like the chicken dog food. He ate it on the first two days with reluctance, and by the third day, he literally walked away from the bowl and didn't come back. I introduced the food slowly as instructed, but after a few days, my dog's stomach was churning, and I don't think it suited him." One contented customer gave four stars in their review, noting: "Pure provides an efficient service and the product is usually delivered on time. It's an excellent food product. My dog has had serious digestive issues in the past, including pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel syndrome. Since being on Pure, the health issues have stopped completely, and he is thriving. He loves the food too. I can thoroughly recommend the product. In addition, the team at Pure are always available and helpful."
