Pet Shop Bowl Review

So it's taken me a little while to write this one (very sorry!) but it is time for my Pet Shop Bowl review. A couple of months ago they sent my puppy Tilly a box of goodies for us to talk about. Since then every product has been munched and I thought we would sum up how it all went down. Before I start Tilly and I did make a video that you can watch of the unboxing but this is the next step in reviewing. The video can be found here:

So just some basics before we properly get into things. Tilly is a 6 month old Goldendoodle (Golden Retriever/ Poodle). She of course is going to be quite a big puppy when she's fully grown. Most of the food was catered to her size but products can be bought off of PetShopBowl for pretty much any size and breed. So time for some PetShopBowl info: PetShopBowl is a nationwide home delivery subscription service to pet food. The idea for PetShopBowl came from the founder; Adam's personal experience. His mother suffers from arthritis and struggled with carrying heavy bags of dog food and last minute rushes to the supermarket to stock up on cat food. Adam also noticed that supermarket prices were really expensive and so he decided to set up a business with his partner Lexi that would make a positive impact on the pet industry. More about the company can be found here: About PetShopBowl!!!

The first product Tilly tried was Country Hunter's Seriously Meaty Meals in Salmon with Raspberry. Tilly ate the whole can pretty quickly so I'm certain she enjoyed it very much (even if I was repulsed by the fishy breath afterwards!). On the PetShopBowl website this costs £2.20 which is a 9p cheaper compared to a popular pet shop. Although my puppy loved this and enjoyed eating it, the smell was vile and was quite hard to deal with the aftermath of stinky fish breath. I don't know if it was entirely linked or not but Tilly did throw up later in the afternoon, which we're hoping was down to her eating something in the garden and not this dog food as she really enjoyed it.

The next item in the package came in the form of Symply for Large Breed Puppy in Turkey and Rice. This is actually not much different to Tilly's regular dry food that is Chicken and Rice so she ate it quite happily. On PetShopBowl this product costs £9.99 (for 2kg) and lasts about a week. The product is also Wheat Gluten Free so is great for puppy's prone to digestive problems. As I said previously this is quite similar to Tilly's regular food so I'm not too sure if she really noticed a difference, but the bag did disappear quite quickly. When doing my research for price comparisons I found that I could not actually find this on the popular pet shop website and so couldn't compare it price wise. But this product did appear to be about £1 more expensive than the dog food that Tilly has anyways. There's no real differences between the food other than the type of meat used but it made a nice change to mix it up for a few days.

Lastly in the box we had Lily's Kitchen Bedtime Biscuits, which admittedly looked and smelt so good that I had to restrain myself from having a nibble because they looks like human biscuits! Tilly loves bedtime biscuits and we find them a great tool to help tempt her into her crate at night times as she can be a bit of a madam about it. These went down a treat with Tilly, she really enjoyed them. They're made with Honey, Yogurt, Chamomile and Passion Flowers and were completely organic. These cost £2.49 for 0.10kgs which seemed a little pricey but because they were loved so much by my puppy I can see that really there's more pro's than con's with this one.



What I have loved about the PetShopBowl website is that it has been incredibly easy to look for items and pretty much has anything your pet would need from food to toys. I was really impressed with the website and definitely think it's a great idea and a great brand that will look at in the future. You can go find Online Pet Supplies here: PetShopBowl and I would like to thank them for sending Tilly this lovely parcel!

Lots of Love,
Rebecca
