Following the success of the 2 litre pet watering system, Torus have extended their product line and released a 1 litre bowl to specifically cater for smaller dogs and cats.

The water bowl, which was officially launched to the trade at PATs Telford in 2015, provides fresh, filtered and cool water whenever the pet requires. Recent success, including winning ‘Product Innovation of the Year 2016’ and presenting this pet drinking innovation at Crufts, has created considerable awareness and demand for a smaller 1 litre bowl.

The 1 litre water bowl works in an identical way; auto-replenishing as the pet drinks and allowing the water to be stored away for travel, but is presented in a distinct oval shape – allowing cats to drink from the bowl without their whiskers touching the sides.

Carina Evans, CEO of Dock Rocks Distribution Ltd, says: “We are very pleased to be back at PATs just 6 months later with an extension to our product line. The 1 litre bowl has already been well received by the consumer, especially amongst the cat market. We have also listened to our customer and released an additional pink bowl in the 1 litre range which is proving popular.”

Both the large and small Torus bowls can be seen on stand H6 at PATs Sandown. The bowls will be at a special 10% discount for all new orders to retailers, along with free shipping for any retailers or wholesalers wishing to order at the show.

The re-launch at PATS Sandown (stand A5) is part of the brand’s With Goodness Comes Greatness campaign, designed to educate consumers on everyday dog health issues and that there is a great tasting, natural alternative in dry pet food that can help solve common problems such as flaky and dry skin, poor appetite and bad breath.

NEW PACKAGING - HIGHLIGHTS

• Clearer packaging, tested by consumers, to help shoppers understand the Lily’s Kitchen offer and benefits of the food
• Improved tailored ranges showing life stage suitability (ie Puppy, Adult, Adult 8+)
• Greater detail on feeding guidelines, particularly helpful for first time dog owners

Like all Lily’s Kitchen’s recipes, the dry food range has been created alongside vets and nutritionists with carefully crafted recipes and high quality proteins to create a complete and nutritionally balanced food for dogs.  With vets often citing poor quality protein as the cause for many of the common complaints they see in their surgeries, including dry and flaky skin and poor appetite, the new Lily’s Kitchen packaging will also focus on the high quality protein and other functional benefits of its products to make them easier to see.

All Lily’s Kitchen foods contain freshly prepared, high quality meat specifically chosen for its high digestibility and complete nature.  They’re also free of meat meal and artificial fillers that are commonly found in pet foods and that can be of lower quality and more difficult to digest than the freshly prepared meats such as venison, salmon, lamb and chicken used in Lily’s Kitchen recipes. 

The dry food range includes Organic Complete Nutrition Adult Chicken and Vegetable Bake with Botanicals & Herbs, A Day in the Country Adult Free Run Chicken and Duck with Sweet Potatoes & Peas, Wild Woodland walk Adult Highland Venison and Duck with Scottish Salmon and Wise & Wonderful Adult 8+ Scottish Salmon and Trout with Turkey & Herbs that are also grain-free, so suitable for dogs with wheat and gluten sensitivity.  Lovely and Luscious Adult Grass Feb Lamb with Peas and Parsley is the lowest fat recipe in the range and is also grain-free.

The relaunch will include sample sizes to encourage trial and new point of sale to highlight the packaging and recipe changes and benefits to customers.

Following its launch at PATS, the dry food range will be rolled out across independent pet shops, health food shops, Ocado, Amazon and on the
Lily’s Kitchen website (www.lilyskitchen.co.uk).

3P Enterprise, the pet accessories manufacturer and distributor, is set to strengthen its offering under the Henry Wag brand with the launch of a range of new products to help pets and their owners.

Now in its 15th year of trading, 3P Enterprise has been working with manufacturers to develop a range of premium quality, practical products designed to improve the health and wellbeing of pets and simplify pet ownership. The focus on health and wellbeing and the development of these new products under the Henry Wag brand represents a new phase in the growth of the 3P Enterprise.


“After the success of the Elevated Bed, we recognise there is an opportunity grow the Henry Wag brand through product innovation,” comments 3P director Grant Rogers.

“By understanding our customers and their needs we have been able to design a range of products which improve a pet’s  health and wellbeing and make caring for your pet easier.”

Under the new program, the Elevated Dog Bed will be relaunched with an improved frame and fabric construction, but will retain the benefits of a solid board base to promote a healthy flat sleeping position, supporting the dog’s back and hips. The design makes it easy for the owner to clean around the bed.

At PATS Sandown, 3P unveiled a range of Henry Wag travel accessories and summer products conceived to promote outdoor activities and increase vitality in both pets and owners.

To date 3P has focused on the product range available from its overseas suppliers, and whilst 3P has sole distribution agreements on many items, often these products are developed for the US market, which do not always meet the needs and requirements of European consumers.

With their experience in the pet industry and in product design the range of products have been developed by 3P specifically to meet the needs of the British and European markets.

Buyers can experience the 3P’s new focus on health, happiness and ease of ownership at PATS Sandown Stand M11.

In addition Nutriment & Laverstoke have agreed to team up in a new joint venture that will initially result in the arrival of a new look, organic tier of biologically appropriate pet food under a striking new Laverstoke livery before later looking at the opportunities for a new collection of top-notch treats.

According to Nutriment founder, Suzanne Brock: "Laverstoke share our belief that raw is the future when it comes to providing exceptional pet food choices brimming with nutritional integrity. 

"Our friendship was forged some while back because Nutriment has been a long-term beneficiary of their truly exceptional meats. Both parties now feel very strongly that BARF is at a pivotal point where a more joined up approach could bring some significant additional impetus to proceedings. 

"Certainly the arrival of an organic sub-range fits snugly within Nutriment’s extensive portfolio that includes, Just, Nutriment Core and Dinner for Dogs."

Every bag sold will make a difference to the lives of hundreds of rescue dogs cared for by the charity at their centres across the UK.

Founded in 1961 by Jerry Green, the charity relies heavily on public and corporate donations to enable them to rescue and rehome dogs and educate people on important issues surrounding dog ownership.

Said Annabell Dennis of Vitalin: “We are delighted to be supporting this wonderful charity and look forward to raising significant funds through the sales of New Vitalin Adult Large Breed over the next year.”

These four cases were in dogs that had never travelled outside the UK, so demonstrating that the disease is now surviving freely in the Harlow area. The parasite, and most probably its favourite vector, the Meadow Tick, Dermacentor reticulatus, also not commonly found in the UK, are both alive and well in Essex. Milder winters, as a possible result of global warming, may have resulted in parts of the UK becoming more attractive places for these parasites to live.

As with most health issues, prevention is better than cure. To prevent pets from becoming infected, make sure they have received regular treatment with a tick prevention veterinary medicine, such as Beaphar Dog Flea & Tick Drops. If you do find a tick on your dog, remove it as soon as possible. The likelihood of transmission of a tick-borne disease increases with time, so check your dog when you return from a walk and remove any ticks you find as soon as you can. Beaphar Tick Away is a freezing spray that will help to weaken the tick’s grip and make it easier to remove.

Ticks thrive in particular types of habitat. Dermacentor particularly likes wooded areas with dense undergrowth. Avoid using these areas for regular walks, especially during the period of peak activity, between March and June.
