"The first quarter of the year has surpassed our expectations," says Different Dog. There are more retailers than ever now stocking the brand; PATS Sandown was a great success; and the company also sponsored the inaugural London Dog Week. Different Dog even made its first TV appearance on Channel 4 during Crufts, demonstrating how natural our food is, by cooking live with Clare Balding!

"As the weather starts to warm up, it’s that time of year when lifestyle magazines are full of ‘beach body’ diets and work-out articles. At Different Dog, we believe it’s equally important to look after our dogs' health and wellbeing – not just for summer but throughout the year," says the company.

"We’re committed to changing dogs’ lives through real food and are working with a growing number of retailers to deliver even greater choice. In keeping with the demand for fresh, locally sourced and seasonal recipes, we’ve introduced two new meals."

These are now available in our fully recyclable and compostable pots:

• Spring Lamb – Spring into action with this fresh seasonal lamb recipe bursting with spring greens
  Lamb 60% (Mince 40%, Heart 15%, Liver 5%), Spring Greens, Parsnip, Pear
• Fish Pie – Our first ever fishy dish and its low fat too!
  White Fish 60%, Broccoli, Sweet Potato, Butternut Squash, Apple

"These new dishes have our same uncompromising approach to creating nutritionally balanced meals using fresh, natural ingredients. All our recipes are designed by our vet and nutritionist and then carefully hand-prepared by our team of dog-loving chefs.

"With more customers discovering Different Dog each week, we’re starting to develop a real sense of the impact that our real food is having on dogs' lives."
