British pet product manufacturers and suppliers are urging consumers to support ‘home grown’ goods.

As many members of the industry are saying, “In line with the current uncertainty caused by existing and potentially future tariffs it surely makes sense to buy British whenever possible”.

Amongst them Ceri Rundle, of CSJ, says: “As well as pricing becoming an issue, continuity of supply is a major concern. Pet and working animals will obviously always need to be fed and British farmers and manufacturers are best placed to ensure that need is met on a continuous basis.

“We’ve all seen out of stock situations on shelves over months now and whilst very many imported products have yet to be affected it is anyone’s guess about how long that will last.

“Animals’ digestive systems work best with regular feed and changes need to be introduced gradually.  A sudden change caused by lack of availability or an unaffordable rocket in price should definitely be avoided - an upset digestive system stresses both animals and owners and can result in costly vet fees to boot!”

A reliable and sustainable supply of quality products at a fair price should be a given - but as traders are warning, with today’s global turmoil on so many levels, they can’t be guaranteed … so Best to Buy British makes sense … doesn’t it?
