Yorkshire’s Finest Pet Food has won Pet Food Brand of the Year for the third year running in the Yorkshire Prestige Awards. 

Owner Dave Chapman, who has been showing his dogs on the professional circuit with significant success since 1999, supplies feed to renowned breeders and exhibitors, and is also a judge in professional shows.

Dave said: “I started my business because I had a Shar Pei called Marley with digestive issues, and grain-free food was not so readily available. He was sponsored by a well-known brand at the time who kept changing the recipe, and the combination of those two things drove me to create my own high-quality product, which would have a consistent recipe at a reasonable price.

“I found a solution for him, and it just made sense to share that with others. We’ve since added numerous products to our range to accommodate other dietary, age and fitness levels, as well as stocking high quality treats, toys and other key products.”

Founded in 2012, Yorkshire’s Finest Pet Food has supported some of the highest profile dogs on the show circuit, including Crufts champions, and also exhibits at shows around the UK as well as Dave showing his own dogs with significant success.

Dave has 12 dogs and is an international championship show judge, judging in countries including Russia, Germany, France, Finland, Norway, Guernsey and also UK. He has had 21 champions all over the world in countries such as America and Australia, and his daughter Megan’s dog, Connor is currently the top German Spitz Mittel in the UK.

Dave added: “This latest award feels like a feather in my cap, showing that what we are doing is not just delivering but also being recognised, and I’m so proud to be able to do that.”
