The new Yak Snack is a stand out winner for Antos
Pet Trade Xtra Promotion


Antos were delighted to pick up the award for the Best New Product in the dog food and treats category at the PATS Telford show.

The new Yak Snack was deemed by a broad consensus of the judges to be the stand out winner due to it being so unique.

The Yak Snack dog chews are from the Himalayas and made from yak milk although the lactose has been removed from the product. They are smoked for 28 days and are completely natural, low in fat, gluten free and rich in calcium and protein.

Antoon Murphy, managing director at Antos Limited remarks: “We are delighted to pick up such a prestigious award at PATS Telford. The Yak Snack is a great addition to our family of brands.

"We now have around 200 different dog snacks. There was an incredible amount of interest in the Yak Snack at the show and the phones have hardly stopped ringing since. We have even had quite a few buyers from abroad looking to place orders. It looks like we’ll soon be sending out orders to the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Germany.

"People love the fact that this product is long lasting, highly palatable and completely natural. They are also interested in the story of the Yak Snack. The fact that local farmers in the Himalayas get a fair price for the yak milk that is used to make these products.

"Retailers were also quite excited about the counter top display stands which make for a great display at the tills.”

Antos are based in Scotland and supply throughout the UK and Europe. With around 200 different dog snacks, there is something for everyone and the company is constantly looking to refresh and improve its product range.

Many know Antos for their vegetable based Cerea range of dog snacks made in the Netherlands by the UK’s sister company, Antos BV. Products such as their Hedgehogs,

Toothbrushes and Frogs are part of the flagship range. Antos are also one of the largest manufacturers of antler dog chews in Europe, selling between 12,000 and 15,000 pieces of antler dog chews every week.

Retailers can order many items through the wholesale channels or direct by calling 01292 318 903 or emailing info@antos.co.uk.

Antos also launched a trade website last year which allows retailers to log in and view products, ingredients, analysis and pricing all in the one place. Retailers can also order via the trade website.
