Launching in 2016 after I was doing a lot of soul searching in my life. I was very overweight, my daughter was at University and likely to be leaving home after she graduated - what did I have in my life to work at - not a lot.
So I joined Slimming World to help me achieve my personal goals and then looked at what I could do to fill in the gaps of time that I had spent with my daughter.
At the time I had (and still have) 2 lovely black labradors, Muppet & Twizzle and I have always been very keen on feeding them the right food to keep them healthy. he more I looked into products on the market for dogs I realised that there was a huge variety on quality.
As my own journey continued into getting myself healthy & losing weight I started to look into more details what Muppet & Twizz were eating including their treats.
I wanted to try to source all my products from people I could talk to direct wherever possible and in the UK and more importantly products not full of cheap ingredients instead using healthy top quality ingredients.
In the UK alone we have a large number of obese pets yet as owners we still want to give them treats so I have sourced healthy, low calorie options to allow pets to still have treats just as I have done whilst on Slimming World.
2 years on from starting Distinctive Pets I have lost a total of 8 stone to date and it has changed my life!!
As part of Distinctive Pets growing we are looking at reducing our carbon footprint using local and UK products and looking at how they are packaged - wherever possible using natural, renewable and recyclable.
