Employer Description:

Durham Animal Feeds is one of the largest UK providers of affordable raw food for dogs. We’ve been at the forefront of the raw dog food industry for over 30 years. As a result, we have an extensive range of products established to satisfy even the fussiest of canines.

We’re a third-generation family business which started in 1969. Because It began with our own dogs in mind, we had the experience to understand the demand for a product that owners and dogs loved. Today, we continue to adapt to changes in the industry and we’re always developing new ranges; this stems from our desire to be the best option for all your raw diet needs.

We strive to keep raw feeding affordable to everyone by maximising opportunities within the business to keep costs as low as possible. Some of the ways we achieve this is by using strategic in-house production, utilising long term relationships with suppliers and decades of industry knowledge.
