The Pets Larder

30/05/2026

I’ve been in the shop more than usual the past few weeks and had a couple of brilliant “oh yeah” moments — both involving Aflora.

For anyone new here: Aflora is our own-brand dry dog food, launched in 2019 and named after my Airedale, Flora (some of you might remember her from behind the shop counter)

Two conversations with long-standing customers basically stopped me in my tracks:

“Why don’t you do turkey in a non-senior recipe?”
“Why don’t you do salmon in adult standard — you’ve already got it in puppy and large breed?”

They were right. Obviously right. I have no idea how I missed it for this long.

So — here you are. Both. Launching online later this week. 😂

Thanks to Emily for making the sign! 💕

From a dog daycare to an award-winning natural pet shop -

*We've had an influx recently of new followers! So welcome to you all, here's a little more on who we are and what we do!

Read more >

We didn't set out to open a natural pet shop. We set out to solve a problem — and the shop came after. For years before The Pets Larder existed, I ran a dog daycare in Cornwall. Hundreds of dogs through the doors over a decade. Different breeds, different ages, different temperaments, different di...

Presenting Natural Cornish Dog Treats. 100% Compostable ASMR

**PAWS OFF THE PAVEMENT COMPETITION**

☀️ If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws.
It's hitting 24°C+ across the UK today and hotter tomorrow — which means pavements are reaching 50°C+. Dogs can't sweat through their skin; they won't tell you their feet are burning until the damage is done. A missed walk won't hurt them. Hot tarmac will.

The five-second test: press the back of your hand flat on the pavement. Can't hold it for five seconds? Don't walk them.
Here's the bit people don't realise — your dog doesn't actually need the walk today. They need a job.

Ten minutes of sniffing and problem-solving tires a dog out more than a hot, miserable trudge round the block.

So skip the walk and give them:
🧊 A frozen stuffed Kong or lick mat
👃 A snuffle mat or scatter-feed in the shade
🪢 A chew that actually lasts

We ship enrichment UK-wide, and if you're new to us, NEW10 gets you 10% off your first order. Link in bio.

📣 And help us get this in front of every dog owner before tomorrow's heat — share this to your story and tag someone who needs the reminder.

Everyone who shares + follows is in to win a Summer Sizzlers Frisbee for cooler evening play. Drawn Tuesday.

🐾 May Subscription Box giveaway also running till month-end.

“Natural” doesn’t always mean what you think it means.
So we wrote the guide. 🐾

Our Best Natural Dog Treats UK 2026 blog looks at what actually earns a place in your dog’s treat jar, from high-value recall rewards to bedtime biscuits, sensitive-stomach options, natural chews, and rawhide alternatives.

No fluff. No supermarket packet nonsense. Just twelve years of real dogs, real shop-counter conversations, and treats that actually make sense.
