Being the owner of two large-breed dogs can be expensive, especially when you have to buy double of everything. But one of our favourite pet food brands has slashed their prices for Black Friday , and could save owners a fortune.
Natural pet food company, Forthglade , has announced a site-wide up to half price sale, which means depending on what you buy, you could save 50 per cent, or get double the amount of dog food for your money!
Now, my rescue dogs Phoebe and Frank are very familiar with Forthglade and have tried and tested the majority of their range over the last five years, and we always love to order their new-in products to be among the first to give our verdict.
I’ve scoured the brand’s Black Friday deals and picked out some of the best ones that will be sure to get tails wagging this payday.
The first one - and this has gone immediately into my own basket - is the Forthglade Taster Pack, which is the perfect introduction to the brand if you’ve not tried them before. But if you are familiar, it’s a very cost-effective way to stock up on some favourites for less. Usually £31.48, the bundle has been reduced to £15.74 for a limited time.
Each pack contains:
1 x Chicken with butternut squash & vegetables 395g wet food tray
1 x Duck with potato and vegetables 395g wet food tray
1 x 2kg bag of grain free chicken & sweet potato cold pressed natural dry food
2 x 90g bags of rewards functional soft bites
1 x pack of five plant based dental sticks
Not only that, but it even contains a voucher to claim back £3.99 on your next purchase, so if you do some ‘dog mum math’, the taster kit is really only £11.75 .
If your pooch is a new addition to the pack, then the Puppy Pack, down to £13.94 from £27.88 may be a more age-appropriate option. The puppy pack contains a range of delicious Forthglade goodies designed with your new puppy in mind, including a mix of complete natural wet food, cold pressed natural dry food and treats.
You'll also receive an exclusive 'one paw at a time' booklet, packed with advice from puppy experts, along with a selection of exclusive discounts and offers from Forthglade ‘friends’, including Weaver Green who make a range of beautiful home products made from 100% recycled plastic.
Each puppy pack contains:
2 x trays of complete puppy wet food (1 grain free and 1 x wholegrain recipes)
1 x 2kg bag of cold pressed natural dry food (duck OR chicken)
1 x 150g bag of grain free, hand-baked training treats
1x 'one paw at a time' puppy advice booklet
1x Forthglade friends discount flyer
If you’re feeling festive, the Christmas Collection Variety Pack means your dog can have their very own festive feast throughout December. Inspired by Christmas meals and flavours, this festive bundle features a Christmas variety pack starring 12 meals, alongside seven packs of the limited edition Christmas recipe and eight packs of tasty turkey soft bite treats for £35.99 instead of £49.43. The treats have sold out two years in a row so it’s very likely to happen again this year.
The Christmas turkey and cranberry soft bite treats are made in their adorable signature heart design, gently baked with a seam down the middle so you can easily break them in half. This makes them perfect for sharing if you’re a multi dog household, or so that they go further – or if someone has gained some holiday weight for better portion control (we’ve all been there).
Speaking of treats, there’s even a multipack of the multi-functional soft bites so that your dog can try one of every recipe. It’s much better value than buying the packs individually, coming in at £9.58 for six, rather than their individual full price of £2.25, which would cost £13.50.
The six varieties include:
Joints & bones: Perfect for when out walking, these salmon oil treats help support the development and maintenance of healthy joints and bones.
Digestive health: Perfect for after mealtimes, these treats contain ginger, parsley and chicory that help support good digestive health
Fresh breath: Made with peppermint and parsley, these tasty treats help freshen your dog's breath.
Rewards (x2 flavours): It's time for walkies, take our rewards treats with you. The first recipe is made of chicken with liver, with a second plant-based recipe made with honey and banana. Both irresistible combos - perfect for training.
Calming: Perfect for quieter moments or before bed, our calming treats are made with a bespoke calming blend of herbs which include camomile, lavender and lemon balm.
They’re not the only pet brand we love having a big Black Friday sale, either, as Pooch and Mutt has also launched 30 per cent off. Customers who use the code BLACKFRIDAY at the checkout will be able to knock nearly a third off their bill. But the more you spend, the more you can save, as those spending over £70 could save 35 per cent with the code BLKF35 - plus you’ll be able to pick a free gift. Meanwhile, Lily’s Kitchen has launched 30 per cent off sitewide, plus free delivery. There’s no code needed, and the discount will automatically be applied at the checkout. There don’t seem to be any exclusions, either, meaning that the Christmas collection - including their advent calendar, festive treats and three bird feast - are also reduced.
