Barnsley-based Walker & Drake, a pet food company that only began trading after the first lockdown in 2020, has seen such massive growth in sales of its cold pressed dog food and range of natural treats that in 2023, they opened a new £900,000 production facility in the town.

They will be exhibiting at PATS Telford (stand N14) for the first time and will be launching a new wet food to add to their product range.

Walker & Drake wet food is a complete nutrition food for adult dogs with a high 65% meat content. It is easily digestible, grain and gluten free and great for fussy eaters. It is UK made and contains all natural ingredients.  You can use it as a complete food or added to Walker & Drake’s Cold Pressed Food as a tasty topper.

The flavours are Chicken with Broccoli, and Turkey with Duck and Carrot. It comes in 390 gram Tetra Pak cartons. Each flavour is packed in cases of 12 cartons, plus there is a mixed case as well which includes six of each flavour.

Walker & Drake in a short space of time has received industry recognition.  It was voted in 2020 by Yorkshire Insider Magazine as one of the top 50 companies to watch. They were also a finalist in 2021 in both the PetQuip and Pet Industry Federation Awards receiving Highly Commended for the Best New Pet Product (Food) at the PetQuip Awards and this year, they are finalists in four categories in the PetQuip Awards and two categories in the PIF Awards. 

Walker & Drake are delighted and excited to be exhibiting at PATS Telford. Tim Matthews, Director and co-founder of Walker & Drake with fellow Directors, Richard Grant and David Taylor said: “As relative newcomers to the industry we feel that it is important for us to attend industry events and get our faces and our brand out there. We felt that PATS should be one of the main events we would invest in. The opportunities to network with buyers and other trade contracts from across the country shouldn’t be underestimated.  Without a show like PATS it would be difficult for industry peers to get together. It’s the best opportunity to get our brand in front of the trade.”
