Combing his passion for gundog training and trials, with his extensive knowledge of canine nutrition, Richard King is bringing a wealth of experience to the team at VetSpec as National Business Manager.

The North Yorkshire-based business continues to go from strength to strength with the new hypoallergenic cereal-grain-free VetSpec Super Premium complete dog food range proving hugely popular.

Richard has many years' experience when it comes to owning, training and competing gundogs and he is also much sought after as a Field Trials judge.

"To be able to combine my love of training dogs with my many years working in the industry to develop the VetSpec range of six super premium dog foods and seven supplements is a fantastic opportunity that I am thoroughly enjoying," said Richard.

Richard is on hand to support retailers and wholesalers by providing valuable and comprehensive nutritional advice to help educate their staff as well as consumers on the research and development behind the VetSpec range and the best way to feed dogs of all sizes, age, breed and work levels.

Over the past 20 years Richard has been training and running gundogs with his greatest achievement winning the IGL Retriever Championship in 2015 at Windsor in front of Her Majesty The Queen.
